New cell lines expanding the diversity of Ewing sarcoma models
What's new? A chromosomal translocation between the EWSR1 and ETS genes is the key oncogenic driver in Ewing sarcoma. EWSR1::FLI1, the most frequent fusion, is subdivided into different fusion types with unclear prognostic relevance. Here, the authors describe the establishment and characterization of four new, intrinsically immortal, patient‐derived ...

A Novel Human Cellular System for Studying Normal Aging and for Anti‐Aging Discovery
This study introduces a human cellular aging model using placental trophoblasts (hTSC‐STBs) that mimics key aging features like senescence and genomic instability. It aligns with human tissue aging and responds to anti‐aging treatments, offering a scalable platform to screen potential therapies and bridge lab findings to clinical applications ...

Molecular profile of atypical Leydig cell tumours
Copy number variations by themselves are not sufficient to discriminate between benign and potential malignant Leydig cell tumours (LCTs). Genomic instability was only detected in malignant and atypical cases, and not in any benign tumours. Currently, the presence of metastasis remains the only malignant criterion for LCTs.

Mechanisms of enhancer‐driven oncogene activation
Abstract An aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by enhancer hijacking resulting in MECOM overexpression. Several chromosomal rearrangements can lead to this: the most common (inv(3)/t(3;3)) results in a hijacked GATA2 enhancer, and there are several atypical MECOM rearrangements involving enhancers from other hematopoietic ...

Genetic variants at multiple loci of chr5p15.33 have been associated with susceptibility to numerous cancers. Here the authors show that the association of one of these loci may be explained by a variant, rs36115365, influencing telomerase reverse ...

ABSTRACT Oncolytic adenoviruses (OVs) can directly eliminate cancer cells and subsequently activate immune responses, exhibiting potent antitumor therapeutics. However, it was observed that the immune cells can also be lysed during viral treatment, evidently dampening the OVs‐mediated antitumor immune response.

Immunohistochemical localization of hTERT protein in human tissues [PDF]
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex mainly composed of a reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit (telomerase reverse transcriptase gene, hTERT) that copies a template region of its RNA subunit to the end of the telomere.
