On a mathematical model of bone marrow metastatic niche by Ana Isabel Muñoz, J. Ignacio Tello

“…We propose a mathematical model to describe tumor cells movement towards a metastasis location into the bone marrow considering the influence of chemotaxis inhibition due to the action of a drug. The model considers the evolution of the signaling molecules CXCL-12 secreted by osteoblasts (bone cells responsible of the mineralization of the bone) and PTHrP (secreted by tumor cells) which activates osteoblast growth. …”

Ribociclib-induced vitiligo in a case of metastatic carcinoma of the breast by Abhira Deb, Manthan Dhingra, Srutee Barman, Thinakaran Raja, Abhra Ghosh

“…In breast cancer patients undergoing ribociclib therapy, though the exact pathophysiological mechanisms remain under investigation, a possible hypothesis suggests that the development of vitiligo may signal an immune-mediated response, potentially reflecting the drug’s influence on immune modulation. This report presents a case of HR+ and HER2/neu− metastatic breast carcinoma treated with CDK4/6 inhibitor plus endocrine therapy with the development of vitiligo during the treatment.…”
