Identification of a lactylation-related gene signature in microsatellite stable gastric cancer based on bulk and single-cell RNA-seq. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
This study developed and validated a robust LRGS for MSS GC. This signature facilitates accurate prognosis prediction and shows potential to predict responses to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Deep Learning Predicts Mutations and Outcomes in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors from Whole-Slide Images. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
For therapeutic categories, performance reached 0.84 for avapritinib sensitivity and 0.81 for imatinib sensitivity. Prognostic performance was comparable to pathology-based scores, with highest discrimination in the overall cohort and in patients without adjuvant therapy. DL applied to WSIs enables prediction of molecular alterations, treatment sensitivity, and RFS in GIST, performing comparably to established risk scores across international cohorts, providing a baseline for future multimodal predictors.

Expanding the spectrum of H3K27-altered gliomas: Hemispheric cases with midline epigenetic signatures. (PubMed, Ann Diagn Pathol)
Clinically, two patients died within 3-9 months, while one remains clinically stable despite radiological progression. DHG-H3 K27 represents a rare hemispheric glioma subgroup sharing molecular and epigenetic features of DMG-H3 K27 without midline involvement, underscoring biological heterogeneity and the importance of integrated molecular classification.

Clinicopathological and molecular features of wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors identified by targeted NGS. (PubMed, Histol Histopathol)
WT GISTs exhibit considerable molecular heterogeneity with novel or rare mutations of uncertain significance. Targeted NGS enables the detection of clinically relevant alterations that may guide future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Our findings emphasize the importance of targeted molecular profiling and raise the potential for personalized treatment in this challenging subset of GISTs.

Integrative Network Toxicology and Machine Learning Identify AKR1C3 as a Candidate Functional Target of Cypermethrin in Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Chem Biol Interact)
Together, these findings identify AKR1C3 as a candidate functional target of cypermethrin and suggest that AKR1C3 may be involved, at least in part, in cypermethrin-induced CRC-relevant cellular injury and oxidative stress. This study provides an exploratory framework for identifying exposure-related molecular targets linking foodborne pesticide residues to CRC-associated biological alterations.

RNA-Based and DNA-Based Next-Generation Sequencing of KIT and PDGFRA Mutations in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Analytical Performance and Epidemiologic Insights. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
RNA-Seq demonstrates high accuracy for detecting clinically relevant KIT and PDGFRA mutations and may complement DNA-based profiling. The DNA cohort provides broader context for mutation prevalence and patterns in clinical practice.

Acquired genetic and cell-state changes in IDH-mutant glioma progression. (PubMed, Nature)
Second, increased mesenchymal-like-state abundance occurred independently of acquired genetic alterations and instead coincided with elevated macrophage expression. Overall, our findings provide an integrative model that traces the cell intrinsic and extrinsic factors that shape cellular states during IDH-mutant glioma disease progression.

Tumor transcriptional state predicts survival in immune-checkpoint-blockade-treated glioblastoma. (PubMed, Nat Cancer)
Survival was associated with pre-ICB enrichment for MES-like malignant cells, marked by high human leukocyte antigen class I expression and greater T cell infiltration. Paired tumor analyses linked ICB exposure to outgrowth of subclones harboring lesions associated with non-MES subtypes, supporting MES-to-non-MES transition as a common trajectory of acquired resistance to ICB, distinct from standard chemoradiation.

Discovery of YTB53, a Marine-Derived MNK-Active Anti-Acute Myeloid Leukemia Lead with Multi-Kinase Activity. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
It also exhibited antiangiogenic effects and suppressed tumor growth in a xenograft model without overt toxicity. These findings support 31 as a promising multimechanistic lead for AML therapy, warranting further medicinal chemistry optimization to improve its pharmacokinetic properties and advance its development potential.

Histopathological and molecular heterogeneity of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors. (PubMed, J Neuropathol Exp Neurol)
Thus, DNTs with high confidence scores are relatively homogenous but DNTs with low methylation confidence scores are heterogenous, highlighting the importance of integrated molecular profiling. Our findings also suggest that the myxoid glioneuronal tumor methylation class may require further classification of underlying drivers.

Uterine Myxoid Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Sarcoma (MIMS) Harboring Pathogenic KRAS Mutations and Expressing ER, PR, and CD10. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
No gene fusions in PDGFRA/B, JAK1, PML, ALK, ROS1, PLAG1, or any other gene were identified by whole transcriptomic RNA sequencing. Given its deceptively bland appearance and its propensity, at least in the uterus, to express both CD10 and ER with only focal SMA expression, MIMS can be mistaken for an endometrial stromal tumor, an ALK and ROS1-negative uterine inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, or other cytologically bland fusion-driven uterine mesenchymal neoplasms.
