Early detection of Coxiella burnetii growth on axenic media using scanning electron microscopy
Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a highly infectious obligate intracellular bacterium. In consequence, cultivating this pathogen was fastidious and resource-consuming, requiring 3 weeks for isolation in cell culture. In recent years,

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Clinical Significance and Functional Insights of Tesmin in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Background. Tesmin, a 60 kDa protein encoded by the metallothionein-like 5 (MTL5) gene, plays a vital role in spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Recent research has unveiled its potential involvement in malignancies, although its impact on HCC remains poorly

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...
