Diagnosis and treatment of thyroblastoma: a case report and review of literature by Xiting Chen, Xiting Chen, Lijuan Xiong, Lijuan Xiong, Hongling Liu, Haoqiang Wang, Donghai Cheng, Wei Wang, Wenyuan He, Bo Xie, Juan Zhou

“…Background and objectiveThe diagnosis of thyroblastoma initially identified as a thyroid malignant teratoma was subsequently classified as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022. This classification was based on the observation that the tumor presents with independent primitive multilineage elements and is frequently associated with DICER1 hotspot mutations.The objective of this study was to explore and investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, molecular features and treatment strategies of patients with thyroblastoma, followed by a review of the previous relevant literature.MethodsThe clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, molecular features and treatment strategies of the initial case of thyroblastoma pathologically confirmed in China were analyzed.ResultsThe tumor was revealed to have high invasive potential, rapid disease progression, and primitive multilineage elements of pathology, including immature thyroid epithelium, spindled mesenchymal proliferations, and neuroepithelial blastema. …”

Cyclic Peptides as Protein Kinase Modulators and Their Involvement in the Treatment of Diverse Human Diseases by Lorena Martínez-Alcantar, Laura Hernández-Padilla, Alma Laura Díaz-Pérez, Lizbeth Guadalupe Villalón-Magallán, Mayra Xóchitl Durán-Maldonado, César Díaz-Pérez, Marlene E. Campos-Morales, Citlali Figueroa-Guzmán, Jesús Campos-García

“…The cyclicity of cyclic peptides (CPs) can mimic the interactions between PKs and natural substrates, influencing the enzyme activity essential in health and disease physiology. Our review summarized that interference in the signal transduction mechanism of the PKs by CPs implies the inhibition of substrate phosphorylation at the level of the active site, similar to anti-neoplastic drugs. …”
