The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.

Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

A Case of Spermatocytic Tumor of Testis

IJU Case Reports
Background Spermatocytic tumor is a rare type of testicular germ cell tumor, accounting for approximately 1% of all testicular neoplasms. Case Presentation A 51‐year‐old male presented to the hospital with a painless mass in the left testis ...

Contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography vs MRI for indeterminate testicular lesions: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta‐analysis to indirectly compare the diagnostic performance of contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of indeterminate testicular lesions and to explore their potential roles in guiding clinical decision‐making.

Mechanobiology in Stem Cell‐Based Bioprinting

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Mechanobiology in stem cell‐based bioprinting is an emerging field that bridges the mechanical conditions of the bioprinting process with the regulation of stem cell behaviour for engineering living tissues. Stresses encountered during bioprinting, together with the mechanical properties of bioinks, play a critical role in regulating stem cell ...

The Role of SAMHD1 in Viral Resistance and Transduction Efficiency Challenges in Pediatric Hematological Malignancies: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Perspectives

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
SAMHD1 regulates intracellular dNTP pools, influencing lentiviral transduction, gene therapy efficiency, and disease progression in pediatric hematological malignancies. Integrated bioinformatics and targeted strategies, including CRISPR and pharmacological inhibition, highlight its therapeutic potential.

Behind the scenes: how the EMILIN/Multimerin family shapes the cancer landscape

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The EMILIN/Multimerin family members regulate key hallmarks of cancer—including apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. As indicated, their function in immune evasion, drug resistance, and metabolic reprogramming remains largely unexplored.

Diagnostic yield of OCT3/4 reflex testing in testicular biopsy

Histopathology, EarlyView.
GCNIS detection frequency was 48/3353 (1.4%) testicular biopsies from 42/1870 (2.2%) men who underwent testicular biopsy with or without testicular sperm extraction (TESE). OCT3/4 was particularly helpful for detecting interstitial seminoma, GCNIS coexisting with mature spermatogenesis, and focal GCNIS.
