Article Abstract
Background/aim: Periostin (POSTN) has a significant role in proliferation and migration of tumour cells as well as tumour progression. This study aimed to determinate POSTN expression in cancer cells in malignant and benign tumours of the mammary gland in female dogs.
Materials And Methods: All together 83 cancers, 24 adenomas and 7 unchanged fragments of the mammary glands of bitches were investigated. Immunohistochemistry was performed using anti-POSTN, Ki-67 and HER2 antibodies.
Results: POSTN expression was observed in cancer cells in 31.3% of malignancies and 12.5% of benign tumours. A significantly positive correlation between expression of POSTN in cancer cells and the degree of histological malignancy, expression of Ki-67 antigen and expression of POSTN in CAFs was found.
Conclusion: The obtained results suggest the possible participation of POSTN in the process of carcinogenesis and progression of mammary tumors in bitches.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway represents a promising target in cancer immunotherapy. However, the clinical translation of cyclic dinucleotide (CDN)-based STING agonists remains hindered by insufficient formation of functional CDN-STING complexes. This critical bottleneck arises from two interdependent barriers: inefficient cytosolic CDN delivery and tumor-specific STING silencing via DNA methyltransferase-mediated promoter hypermethylation.

Background: Sarcomas are rare cancer with a heterogeneous group of tumors. They affect both genders across all age groups and present significant heterogeneity, with more than 70 histological subtypes. Despite tailored treatments, the high metastatic potential of sarcomas remains a major factor in poor patient survival, as metastasis is often the leading cause of death.

Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) that supports disease progression. While immune cell recruitment by Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells is well-documented, the role of non-malignant B cells in relapse remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on paired diagnostic and relapsed CHL samples, we identified distinct shifts in B-cell populations, particularly an enrichment of naïve B cells and a reduction of memory B cells in early-relapse compared to late-relapse and newly diagnosed CHL.

Ubiquity of cancer across the tree of life yields opportunities to understand variation in cancer defences across species. Peto's paradox, the finding that large-bodied species do not suffer from more cancer despite having more cells at risk of oncogenic mutations compared to small species, can be explained if large size selects for better cancer defences. Since birds live longer than non-flying mammals of equivalent size, and are descendants of moderate-sized dinosaurs, we ask whether ancestral cancer defences are retained if body size shrinks in a lineage.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression in cancer biology, yet their spatial dynamics within tumor microenvironments (TMEs) remain underexplored due to technical limitations in current spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies. To address this gap, we present STmiR, a novel XGBoost-based framework for spatially resolved miRNA activity prediction. STmiR integrates bulk RNA-seq data (TCGA and CCLE) with spatial transcriptomics profiles to model nonlinear miRNA-mRNA interactions, achieving high predictive accuracy (Spearman's ρ > 0.
