Background Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumour in children but also rarely occur in adults. Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) driven MB is associated with aberrant activation of the SHH signalling pathway.

Abstract figure legend CAF origins and plasticity give rise to distinct phenotypes with immunosuppressive functions in colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma. These distinct CAF phenotypes contribute to immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments through ECM remodelling, cytokine signalling and immune regulation.

ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

Giant morphea-form basal cell carcinoma of the umbilicus: Successful debulking with vismodegib
Basal cell carcinoma of the umbilicus is very rare. The nodular subtype is the main representative. Giant basal cell carcinomas represent around 1% of all basal cell carcinomas.
