Radioresistance in rhabdomyosarcomas: Much more than a question of dose

Simona Camero, Matteo Cassandri, Silvia Pomella, Luisa Milazzo, Francesca Vulcano, Antonella Porrazzo, Giovanni Barillari, Cinzia Marchese, Silvia Codenotti, Miriam Tomaciello, Rossella Rota, Alessandro Fanzani, Francesca Megiorni, Francesco Marampon

Summary: The management of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) requires a multimodal therapy, with radiation therapy (RT) becoming the standard treatment option. Despite improvements in cure rates, local failure and recurrence remain common. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of radioresistance is crucial for developing more effective combined therapies.

Geographically targeted COVID-19 vaccination is more equitable and averts more deaths than age-based thresholds alone

Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, Mathew Kiang, Alicia R. Riley, Magali Barbieri, Yea-Hung Chen, Kate A. Duchowny, Ellicott C. Matthay, David Van Riper, Kirrthana Jegathesan, Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, Jonathon P. Leider

Summary: A study found that COVID vaccination schedules based solely on age benefit older white populations but come at the expense of younger BIPOC populations with higher risk. Prioritizing high-risk geographic areas for vaccination targets mortality risk better, while direct prioritization of high-risk racial/ethnic groups may perform even better. Vaccination strategies directly impact equitable access, both domestically and globally.

Mangostanin, a Xanthone Derived from Garcinia mangostana Fruit, Exerts Protective and Reparative Effects on Oxidative Damage in Human Keratinocytes

Mario Abate, Cristina Pagano, Milena Masullo, Marianna Citro, Simona Pisanti, Sonia Piacente, Maurizio Bifulco

Summary: The fruit of Garcinia mangostana, known as mangosteen, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activities. This study demonstrates that the polyphenols called xanthones in mangosteen can protect the skin from oxidative damage and prevent skin aging. Mangostanin, one of the xanthone derivatives, reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species, preventing cell damage and apoptosis activation. This research highlights the potential of mangostanin for development in the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical fields.

History of how viruses can fight cancer: From the miraculous healings to the approval of oncolytic viruses*

Maurizio Bifulco, Erika Di Zazzo, Fabiana Napolitano, Anna Maria Malfitano, Giuseppe Portella

Summary: Since the nineteenth century, reports have shown that cancer patients occasionally experience clinical remission called Saint Peregrine tumor as a result of natural infections. The oncolytic activity of viruses, known as oncolytic viruses (OVs), which selectively infect and kill cancer cells, has been discovered. However, early attempts to increase OVs specificity, efficacy, and safety were inconclusive/negative, leading to a decline in research in this field. The renewal of interest in virotherapy occurred in the late 1990s with the development of genetic engineering techniques and a better understanding of cancer cells, resulting in the generation of potent and safe OVs.

Summary: Despite the ongoing debate about the safety of statins in COVID-19 patients, this study provides insights into their mechanism of action. Using in vitro models expressing different levels of ACE2 receptor, the researchers found that lipophilic and hydrophilic statins have varying effects on ACE2 receptor expression and subcellular localization. Additionally, proteomic analysis revealed that statins inhibit the release of cytokines associated with severe COVID-19 cases.

Summary: The epidemic spread of obesity is recognized as a global burden, and its link with cancer, known as adiponcosis, is of great interest in the scientific community. The mechanisms underlying adiponcosis, which may vary depending on cancer type, involve insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and adipose tissue-derived hormones and cytokines. This review summarizes the current evidence on pathways, hormones, and interventions for obesity-related breast and colorectal cancers. It also discusses current targets and drugs for cancer treatment and potential therapeutic mechanisms.
