Decoding the role of mesothelin in tumor dynamics and targeted treatment innovations. (PubMed, Mol Biomed)
We also summarize ongoing therapeutic strategies targeting MSLN and discuss how TME-driven resistance mechanisms are shaping the next generation of MSLN-directed therapies. By integrating molecular insights with translational perspectives, this work provides a comprehensive overview of MSLN biology and its emerging therapeutic relevance in cancer.

Human lysine oxidase-like 3 high expression as a potential biomarker and association with poor prognosis in pleural mesothelioma. (PubMed, Int J Biol Markers)
CD68, CD206, PD-L1, and LOXL3 may collaboratively contribute to the regulation of the PM microenvironment and are closely linked to the invasion and metastasis of PM. Therefore, LOXL3 can be used as both a prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target for PM.

L1CAM/CD171 expression in human tumors and its association with tumor phenotype. (PubMed, Acta Oncol)
The results highlighted a small number of tumor entities that could be targeted by anti-L1CAM drugs, once these are proved to be sufficiently safe and efficient. L1CAM expression does not appear to confer an aggressive phenotype to affected cancer cells.

Well-differentiated papillary mesothelial tumor of the peritoneum in a young woman: A case report with molecular insights. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
This case highlights that a definitive distinction between WDPMT and malignant mesothelioma is paramount, as it dictates a radically different management strategy. Integration of immunohistochemistry (particularly BAP1) and molecular profiling is essential for accurate diagnosis and can prevent overtreatment. For appropriately selected patients with WDPMT, conservative management with active surveillance represents a safe and effective approach, underscoring the value of precision medicine in guiding patient-centric care.

Multi-omics, histologic, and scRNA-seq profiling of pleural mesothelioma reveals negative prognosis associated with a novel uncommitted molecular phenotype. (PubMed, J Thorac Oncol)
These multi-omic, scRNA-seq analyses of primary patient tissues provide new candidate drivers of MC state and novel biomarkers to improve patient stratification. Further experimental exploration and clinical validation of these findings may reveal new treatment strategies and refine current clinical decision-making in pleural mesothelioma.

Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers for risk assessment and prognostic stratification of pleural mesothelioma. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
Circulating miRNA signatures represent promising non-invasive biomarkers for early PM detection and prognostic stratification, particularly in epithelioid cases. Incorporation of these biomarkers into clinical workflows could pave the way for more personalized treatment strategies and optimize patient selection for surgery.

Integrated Pan-Cancer Analysis and Experimental Verification of the Roles of Retinoid-Binding Proteins in Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
This pan-cancer and single-cell integrative analysis highlights the complex roles of RBPs in cancer progression and their potential as prognostic biomarkers, particularly RBP4 and RBP7 in breast cancer. These findings warrant further investigation into the functional mechanisms of RBPs, which may provide valuable strategies for therapeutic interventions.

Loss of Argininosuccinate Synthetase-1 (ASS1) Occurs in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma and Represents a Promising Biomarker for Therapy with Pegargiminase. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Background/Objectives: Despite the introduction of targeted therapies such as Nivolumab, survival outcomes for patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma remain poor. This underscores the urgent need for clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of pegargiminase in this patient population. Additionally, incorporating ASS1 immunohistochemical staining into pre-neoadjuvant biopsy assessments should be considered to optimize neoadjuvant treatment strategies and advance the implementation of personalized cancer therapy.

Proteomics of malignant pleural mesothelioma under hypoxic and normoxic conditions in a large animal (porcine) tumor model. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
During the follow-up period of 224-238 days, the experimental pigs remained in good health.​ Based on the study of differentially expressed proteins in malignant pleural mesothelioma under hypoxic and normoxic conditions, the successfully constructed large-scale porcine tumor model can pre-verify the effect of drugs on tumors in different oxygen environments during new drug development, improving screening efficiency and success rate. It can also accurately simulate clinical scenarios, providing experimental support for the efficacy evaluation and scheme optimization of intervention strategies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immune targeting, thereby effectively promoting the development of clinical treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma.​.
