Interleukin-13 (IL-13), a key T-helper 2 cytokine, has a central role in type 2 inflammation and is implicated in various skin disorders. This study investigated the IL-13 immunohistochemical expression in skin biopsies from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis vulgaris, morphea, Grover's disease, and immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced bullous pemphigoid (ICI-BP). AD biopsies showed the highest IL-13 expression (mean 27.4%), consistent with its established role in the pathogenesis. Psoriasis displayed moderate positivity (mean 8.62%), indicating IL-13's possible involvement in hybrid or phenotypic overlap forms. Minimal expression was detected in Grover's disease (1.8%) and ICI-BP (2.13%), while no positivity was observed in morphea. These findings highlight the diverse roles of IL-13 across skin disorders, with potential implications for targeted therapies.

Immune checkpoint therapy has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of various solid tumors. Among these, tumor-induced immunosuppression mediated by programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) represents a critical checkpoint. PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have been proven to exhibit substantial efficacy in solid tumors such as melanoma and bladder cancer.

The reduction of TCF-1 during CD8 T cell exhaustion leads to attenuated antitumor activity and diminished responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, how TCF-1 is downregulated remains unclear. Here, we showed that during CD8 T cell exhaustion, lnc-SUMF2-8, induced by transcription factor TOX, can bind to cytosolic TCF-1, and direct it to the lysosome for degradation.

During chronic disease, parasites modulate host immunity to ensure long-term persistence while limiting collateral tissue damage. A key feature of this immune remodeling is the progressive T-cell dysfunction that may culminate in T-cell exhaustion, characterized by increased expression of inhibitory receptors (TIM-3, LAG-3, KLRG1), checkpoint molecules (PD-1, PD-L1), suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1), and arginase-1.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of rare malignant tumors arising from mesenchymal tissues, with extremity and superficial trunk STS (eSTS) comprising the majority of cases. The management of localized eSTS requires a multidisciplinary approach to optimize oncologic and functional outcomes. This review outlines the natural history, diagnostic workup, and treatment principles for localized eSTS, emphasizing the role of histology-specific considerations in guiding management strategies.

Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized cancer treatment by enabling comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (CGP) to guide genotype-directed therapies. While several prospective trials have demonstrated varying outcomes with CGP in patients with advanced solid tumors, its clinical utility in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains to be evaluated.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of CGP in our hospital between September 2019 and March 2024.
