A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

TGF‐β signaling regulates extracellular vesicle (EV) release in cancer cells by modulating the expression and activity of genes associated with EV biogenesis. The TGF‐β‐induced upregulation of RAB4A expression facilitates fast endosomal recycling, a process that limits the fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane and EV secretion. Hence,

Glioma through the looking GLASS: molecular evolution of diffuse gliomas and the Glioma Longitudinal Analysis Consortium. [PDF]
Adult diffuse gliomas are a diverse group of brain neoplasms that inflict a high emotional toll on patients and their families. The Cancer Genome Atlas and similar projects have provided a comprehensive understanding of the somatic alterations and ...

Glomerular plasmalemma vesicle‐associated protein‐1 (PV‐1/PLVAP) identifies dynamic endothelial remodelling in chronic active antibody‐mediated rejection (caABMR), complementing glomerular C4d, which reflects a static footprint of complement activation. Combined assessment of PV‐1 and C4d captures complementary dimensions of microvascular pathology and

Glioblastoma mimicking anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis: a case series
Abstract Anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (anti‐NMDAR) GluN1‐IgG antibodies are the hallmark of anti‐NMDAR encephalitis, a common type of autoimmune encephalitis. We describe two men with seizures and asymmetric, mass‐like temporal lesions initially treated as anti‐NMDAR encephalitis: Case 1 had serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NMDAR‐IgG ...

Cancer heterogeneity explored through immune cell deconvolution of the tumor microenvironment
Abstract Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, characterized by significant variability across multiple dimensions. This diversity has been extensively studied from various perspectives. In this study, we aim to examine cancer heterogeneity through the lens of immune cell composition within the tumor microenvironment.
