Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare and potentially malignant vascular tumor that can be mistaken for benign conditions. A new case report highlights the diagnostic challenges raised by rare tumors and emphasizes the need for vigilant evaluation of slow-growing swellings.
Researchers developed a novel technology to attach 'fake targets' to tumor cells, enabling immune cells to attack regardless of antigen presence. The Univody platform showed promising results in animal models, suppressing tumor growth and triggering broader immune activation.
Researchers found that DMT reduces infarct volume and edema formation in rat stroke models by restoring blood-brain barrier function and reducing inflammatory cytokines. The compound's dual action may complement existing treatments, offering a novel approach to stroke therapy.
Mesonephric carcinoma and mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma are rare aggressive neoplasms with overlapping morphological and immunophenotypic features. MC arises from mesonephric remnants, while MLA likely originates from Müllerian epithelium undergoing mesonephric differentiation.
The WHO Reporting System for Soft Tissue Cytopathology provides a standardized classification system to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide clinical decision-making.
