An IGF2-anchored oncofetal state and relapse-associated transcriptomic module define systemic progression risk in early-onset colorectal cancer

This paper identifies an IGF2-driven oncofetal state and a 5-gene module that predict systemic relapse in early-onset colorectal cancer, improving risk stratification beyond traditional staging.

Evidence, evolution and pattern of contractile elements in villous vascular walls and stroma of human placentas of premature infants of different gestational ages. An immuno-morphologic comparative study.

The paper examines contractile elements in placental villi of premature and term infants, finding persistent SMA and desmin expression in vascular walls and stroma across gestational ages.
