Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 90-95% of all kidney cancers in adults, with clear cell RCC (ccRCC) being the most frequently identified subtype. RCC is known for its responsiveness to immunotherapy, making it an area of significant research interest. Immune checkpoint (IC) molecules, which regulate immune surveillance, are established therapeutic targets in RCC. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of and gene polymorphisms on ccRCC susceptibility and patient overall survival (OS) over a ten-year period of observation. We genotyped three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs1886730, rs2234167, and rs8725, as well as two SNPs: rs744877 and rs2231375, in 238 ccRCC patients and 521 controls. Our findings indicated that heterozygosity within rs2231375 and/or rs2234167 increases ccRCC risk. Furthermore, in women, heterozygosity within SNPs rs8725 and rs1886730 is also associated with an increased ccRCC risk. The presence of a minor allele for rs1886730, rs2234167, rs8725, and rs2231375 was also correlated with certain clinical features of ccRCC. Moreover, rs1886730 was found to be associated with OS. In conclusion, our study highlights an association between and CD160 polymorphisms and the risk of developing ccRCC as well as OS.

The genus Alternaria comprises a wide range of ubiquitous plant pathogens that affect various host plants. Certain mycoviruses can induce changes in the biological characteristics and virulence of host fungi, offering potential for biocontrol in managing fungal plant diseases. Here, we identified a mycovirus with a high degree of homology to Alternaria arborescens victorivirus 1 (AaVV1), which was previously reported from Alternaria arborescens, in the QRH strain of the heterologous host Alternaria gomphrenae.

Background: Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological condition characterized by aggravated oxidative-inflammatory tissue damage that occurs upon blood flow restoration after ischemia. LIRI can lead to severe complications, including primary graft dysfunction in lung transplants and multi-organ failure. However, current treatments remain limited.

Ageing is one of the most significant risk factors for heart disease; however, it is still not clear how the human heart changes with age. Taking advantage of a unique set of pre-mortem, cryopreserved, non-diseased human hearts, we performed omics analyses (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics), coupled with biologically informed computational modelling in younger (≤ 25 years old) and older hearts (≥ 50 years old) to describe the molecular landscape of human cardiac ageing. In older hearts, we observed a downregulation of proteins involved in calcium signalling and the contractile apparatus.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that shows strong genetic control on the timing and onset of symptoms and drug response variability. Some epilepsy syndromes have clear monogenic mutations but genes with control on the phenotype and severity of the disorder and drug sensitivity are present in the whole genetic profile. Genetic modifiers are not the cause of epilepsy but control significant networks such as synaptic plasticity and ion channels and neurodevelopment and neuroinflammation and therefore the reason why two individuals with the same primary mutations have different clinical courses.

Among the various types of tumors, breast cancer (BC) has a high distribution in the world population and is responsible for a high mortality rate. Like other forms of cancer, BC is characterised by distinctive features such as high-energy metabolism in tumor cells, genetic mutations, and mitochondrial dysfunction that sometimes make conventional therapies less effective. However, there is a growing awareness of the vital role played by diet therapy in the overall management of the patient with BC, both by supporting standard therapy and by directly targeting aberrant biological processes involved in carcinogenesis.
