DNA Methylation in Ovarian and Endometrial Cancers: Predictive and Mechanistic Roles in PARP Inhibitor and ICI Response. [PDF]
Cancer treatment is shifting from an organ‐based framework to one driven by biological phenotypes, and DNA methylation is increasingly recognized as an important factor that governs tumor behavior beyond genetic mutations. In gynecologic cancers, BRCA1 and MLH1 promoter methylation–associated homologous recombination deficiency and mismatch repair ...

Multi-omic characterization of consensus molecular subtype 1 (CMS1) colorectal cancer with dampened immune response improves precision medicine. [PDF]
This study highlights the importance of multi‐omic analyses in characterizing colorectal cancers. Indeed, our analysis revealed a rare CMS1 exhibiting dampened immune activation, including reduced PD‐1 expression, moderate CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, and suppressed JAK/STAT pathway.

A rare case of colonic adenocarcinoma in a pediatric patient. [PDF]
Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a loss of function in the deoxyribonucleic acid mismatch repair system. This case report presents a 17‐year‐old male with abdominal pain, weight loss, and anemia who was diagnosed with LS‐associated adenocarcinoma of the colon in the setting of a mutS homolog 6 genetic mutation ...

Expression of PD-L1 in Microsatellite Instability High Tumours: A Retrospective Study [PDF]
Introduction: Microsatellite Instability (MSI) is the hallmark of Lynch syndrome/Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency (CMMRD) and is also found in many sporadic cancers like colorectal cancer, endometrial, gastric, small intestine, urothelial ...

Mlh2 is an accessory factor for DNA mismatch repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the essential mismatch repair (MMR) endonuclease Mlh1-Pms1 forms foci promoted by Msh2-Msh6 or Msh2-Msh3 in response to mispaired bases. Here we analyzed the Mlh1-Mlh2 complex, whose role in MMR has been unclear.

Identification of Driving ALK Fusion Genes and Genomic Landscape of Medullary Thyroid Cancer. [PDF]
The genetic landscape of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is not yet fully understood, although some oncogenic mutations have been identified. To explore genetic profiles of MTCs, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues from MTC patients were ...

Recombination homeostasis of meiosis during spermatogenesis under nicotine treatment [PDF]
Cigarette smoking can affect male fertility via the quality of semen. To explore the effects of nicotine, a major component of cigarettes, on meiotic recombination during spermatogenesis, C57BL/6J male mice were injected with nicotine at a dosage of 0.2 ...
