The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells from the human body and deliver them to repair injuries and fight disease from the inside out. But not all stem ...

The following is a summary of “Mini-review: Evaluation and Management of Retroperitoneal Masses in Patients with Testicular Cancer,” published in the August 2024 issue of Urology by Yang et al.

To resolve the ongoing controversy surrounding the impact of teratoma (TER) in the primary among patients with metastatic testicular non-seminomatous germ-cell tumours (NSGCT). Using the International ...

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are relatively common in young men, making accurate diagnosis and prognosis assessment essential. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), including microRNA-371a-3p (miR-371a-3p), have ...

Introduction Teratoma is a histological subtype of germ cell tumour (GCT) composed of tissues derived from all three embryonic layers, namely endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm, with varying proportions ...

We present a methodology for the automatic identification and delineation of germ-layer components in H&E stained images of teratomas derived from human and nonhuman primate embryonic stem cells. A ...

Nonseminomatous germ cell tumors are a type of testicular cancer. Learn about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outlook.

Germ cell cancer can develop in children and adults. Researchers don’t know exactly what causes germ cell cancers to form, but they have identified some risk factors.

Viable germ cell tumor and teratoma can be distinguished from necrosis in postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection specimens by a combination of microRNA-371a-3p and 375-5p. Optimization ...

Histopathological findings revealed a mature pineal teratoma characterized by bronchial and squamous epithelial cells with no evidence of germinoma or any other germ cell tumor components. The tumor ...

Somatic malignant transformation in a germ cell tumor (GCT) is the development of non-germ malignancies; much of available literature refers to teratoma with malignant transformation (TMT). There are ...

A teratoma is a three-layered germ cell tumor that resembles a ball of tissue. Although they are seldom cancerous, there are malignant types.
