Background: Meningioma is a common primary intracranial tumor with high recurrence and metastasis rate. Delineating the pathological ecosystem at the brain-tumor interface (BTI) of meningioma is critical for understanding the mechanisms of tumor metastasis and developing effective new therapies.
Methods: To identify biomarkers of early metastasis and discover potential therapeutic targets, we integrated single-cell transcriptome datasets of meningioma, and identified the cell populations and molecular signatures uniquely present at the BTI.
Results: A specific BTI-enriched tumor cell population with a pro-EMT (epithelial mesenchymal transition) characteristics was associated with invasion and metastasis, and ANXA2 and COL5A1 were detected as the biomarkers for these BTI-enriched tumor cells. Additionally, we characterized the BTI-specific immunosuppressive microenvironment composed of SPP1 tumor-associated macrophages, as well as specific endothelial cells (ACKR1) and pericytes (THY1) promoting the highly malignant invasive state of angiogenesis.
Conclusions: Collectively, BTI in meningioma is a metastatic and immunosuppressive zone. We have discovered potential biomarkers that help detect early metastasis and recurrence of meningioma.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a lethal salivary gland malignant neoplasm. Lung metastasis is the primary cause of mortality in ACC patients while there is no effective treatment available at present. In this study, a precise and biomimetic nanoplatform, CG/MC/U-M, is designed to combine cuproptosis, gas therapy and immunotherapy against metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Objectives: To explore the key role of myeloid-derived suppressive cells (MDSCs) in pre-metastatic niche (PMN) and analyze their interrelationships with the main components in the microenvironment using a mathematical model.
Methods: Mathematical descriptions were used to systematically analyze the functions of MDSCs in tumor metastasis and elucidate their association with the major components (vascular endothelial cells, mesenchymal stromal cells, and cancer-associated macrophages) contributing to the formation of the pre-metastatic microenvironment. Based on the formation principle of the pre-metastatic microenvironment of tumors, the key biological processes were assumed to construct a coupled partial differential diffusion equation model.

Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) constitute a group of disorders where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's tissues. The pathogenesis of AIDs involve a breakdown in immune tolerance, culminating in an immune response that targets autoantigens. In adaptive immunity, secondary rearrangement of T cell receptors (TCRs) and B cell receptors (BCRs) involves sequential V(D)J recombination events during lymphocyte development.

Background: Dysregulation of polyamine synthesis has been observed in various cancer cell types. A novel approach to depriving cancer cells of polyamines involves the use of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) to block polyamine biosynthesis in combination with AMXT 1501, a potent inhibitor of polyamine transport. Preclinical mouse tumor models showed that the combination of AMXT 1501 plus DFMO had strong antitumor activity, together with evidence of a stimulated immune response against tumors.

Background: Myocarditis secondary to Listeria monocytogenes is rare but life-threatening.
Case Summary: A 54-year-old woman with a prior history of systemic lupus erythematous on immunosuppression presented with chest pain and fever. Troponin and C-reactive protein levels were elevated, and an electrocardiogram showed T-wave inversion.
