Huge Abscess due to Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection after Breast Augmentation [PDF]

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2018
Periprosthetic capsular contracture, implant rupture, and deflation are well-known delayed complications of augmentation mammaplasty. However, infection remains the most common cause of reoperation after breast implant surgery.

Higher Prevalence of Capsular Contracture with Second-side Use of Breast Implant Insertion Funnels

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Background:. Breast implant insertion funnels have become popular adjuncts to breast implant surgery to reduce access incision length and contact of the implant with the skin of the breast.

A prospective study of breast dynamic morphological changes after dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty with 3D scanning technique. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundThe dual-plane technique has been widely used in augmentation mammaplasty procedures. However, there are some concerns about aesthetic contour maintenance for long time after muscle releasing. This study aims to track and analyze breast dynamic

Unraveling LINE‐1 retrotransposition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel RetroTest method allows the detection of L1 activation in clinical samples with low DNA input, providing global L1 activity and the identification of the L1 source element. We applied RetroTest to a real‐world cohort of HNSCC patients where we reported an early L1 activation, with more than 60% of T1 patients showing L1 activity.

BMP antagonist CHRDL2 enhances the cancer stem‐cell phenotype and increases chemotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Overexpression of CHRDL2 in colon cancer cells makes them more stem‐like and resistant to chemo‐ and radiotherapy. CHRDL2‐high cells have upregulation of the WNT pathway, genes involved in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT). This leads to quicker repair of damaged DNA and more cell migration.

Endoglin mediates the tumor‐ and metastasis‐promoting traits of stromal myofibroblasts in human breast carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in tumors influence cancer progression. We identified endoglin (ENG) as a key factor in TGF‐β signaling in myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), linked to poor breast cancer outcomes. Inhibiting ENG on myCAFs suppressed the TGF‐β‐Smad2/3 pathway, reducing primary tumor growth and metastasis.
