Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a cancer with high metastatic potential that is consistently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. In this study, we have investigated the functional contribution of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signalling to the pathogenesis of NPC.

Abstract

Although invasive cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is uncommon in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART), asymptomatic CMV coinfection is nearly ubiquitous in HIV infected individuals.

We co-assessed PD-L1 expression and CD8⁺ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in gastric cancer (GC), and categorized into 4 microenvironment immune types.

Abstract

Study question

Can novel meiotic RNA targets of DAZL (deleted in azoospermia-like) be identified in the human foetal ovary?

Summary answer

SYCP1 (synaptonemal complex protein-1), TEX11 (testis expressed 11) and SMC1B (structural maintenance of chromosomes 1B) are novel DAZL targets in the human foetal ovary, thus DAZL may have previously unrecognised roles in the translational regulation of RNAs involved in chromosome cohesion and DNA recombination in the oocyte from the time of initiation of meiosis.

What is known already

The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of erythropoietin and neuroendocrine markers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and re-evaluated histopathological specimens of 33 patients with CCRCC and compared with those of 11 cases of non-CCRCC. All patients were treated with a partial or radical nephrectomy at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital, between 2010 and 2016.

Abstract

Thickening of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and expansion of the mesangial matrix are hallmarks of diabetic nephropathy (DN) generally considered to emerge from different sites of overproduction; GBM components from podocytes and mesangial matrix from mesangial cells. Re-evaluation of 918 biopsies with DN revealed strong evidence that these mechanisms are connected to each other, wherein excess GBM components fail to undergo degradation and are deposited in the mesangium.
