Article Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common tumors in the urinary system. Progression in immunotherapy has provided novel options for the ccRCC treatment. However, the understanding of the ccRCC microenvironment and the potential therapeutic targets in the microenvironment is still unclear. Here, we analyzed the gene expression profile of ccRCC tumors from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and calculated the abundance ratios of immune cells for each sample. Then, seven types of immune cells were found to be correlated to overall survival, and 3863 immune-related genes were identified by analyzing differentially expressed genes. We also found that the function of immune-related genes was mainly focused on ligand-receptor binding and signaling pathway transductions. Additionally, we identified 13 hub genes by analyzing the protein-protein interaction network, and seven of them are related to overall survival. Our study not only expands the understanding of fundamental biological features of microenvironment but also provides potential therapeutic targets.

Clinicopathological features of dermal clear cell sarcoma: A series of 13 cases.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a cytokine involved in the immune-inflammatory response. It can induce an odontoblastic phenotype and enhance biomineralization in dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells but does not have the same effect on osteoblasts. The reasons for this differential response, despite the shared lineage of these cell types, are not yet clear.

Centered on the transcription factor NRF2 and its E3 ligase CUL3, the oxidative stress response protects cells from damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increasing ROS inhibits CUL3 to stabilize NRF2 and elicit antioxidant gene expression, while cells recovering from stress rapidly turn over NRF2 again to prevent reductive stress and oxeiptosis-dependent death. How cells reinitiate NRF2 degradation after ROS have been cleared remains poorly understood.

Background: The cerebral circulation is continuously challenged by intravascular micrometer-sized particles that become trapped microvascular-emboli. These particles may include micro-thrombi, stiffened erythrocytes, and leukocytes, while also fat particles, air, and microplastics may cause microvascular embolism.
Review Scope: In this narrative review, we discuss these embolization processes and their acute and chronic consequences.

Although the surface micro-ornamentation of the scales within the skin of snakes has been the subject of many previous studies, there has been little work done on the spectacle, a protective (keratinised) goggle separated from the underlying cornea by a sub-spectacular space. The surface ultrastructure of the "Oberhäutchen" of the spectacle is examined in nine species of snakes (five aquatic and four terrestrial) using light and electron microscopy, micro-computed tomography and gel-based profilometry. Significant topographic differences in cell size (increases of between 5.
