Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Comparison of Serum Vitamin D Status in Critically ill and Non-critically ill Children and its Relationship with Illness Severity and Clinical Outcomes: A Case–Control Study

International Journal of Medicine and Health Development
Background: The role of vitamin D in immune function is well-established in adults, but remains unclear in children. Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in critically ill versus non-critically ill children and the ...

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by

Probiotic treatment in an intensive care unit: a narrative review

Journal of Intensive Care
Diarrhea is common in critically ill patients and can lead to malnutrition, electrolyte imbalance, and dehydration. While its direct impact on outcomes, such as mortality or intensive care unit (ICU) stay, remains unclear due to inconsistent definitions,

Investigating the cell of origin and novel molecular targets in Merkel cell carcinoma: a historic misnomer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Successful treatment of a resistant invasive disseminated Fusarium infection in an immunocompetent patient

Medical Mycology Case Reports
Fusariosis is a severe fungal infection associated with high mortality rates and an increasing incidence. However, its treatment remains challenging due to the frequent resistance of Fusarium species to conventional antifungal therapies.
