Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry
Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.

Stump pyometra in a spayed female dog secondary to tamoxifen
A 2‐year‐old spayed female dog treated successfully for sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis for 11 months with tamoxifen, cyclosporine, and a short‐term course of prednisone began developing signs of enlarged vulva and discharge. A stump pyometra was confirmed on ultrasound and computed tomography and exploratory laparotomy was performed to remove the

Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible
