TL;DR: Atrial fibrillation was an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality in patients with incident AF and the concomitant diseases that contributed most were found outside the thromboembolic risk scores.

TL;DR: Testing the effects of a member of the noncanonical Wnt signaling pathway, Wnt-5a, in primary thyroid carcinomas and in thyroid carcinoma cell lines found that a bell-shaped response was observed with low to undetectable levels in normal tissue and in anaplastic tumors whereas differentiated thyroid carcinomes showed strong positive immunostaining for Wnt -5a.

TL;DR: Data indicate that WNT5A has a broader function on tumor progression and metastatic spread than previously known; by inducing exosome-release of immunomodulatory and pro-angiogenic factors that enhance the immunosuppressive and angiogenic capacity of the tumors thus rendering them more aggressive and more prone to metastasize.

TL;DR: In this paper, the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) associates to caspase-8 and caspases-3 during neutrophil apoptosis.

TL;DR: Findings support the notion that this Wnt-5a protein retains tumor suppressor function by virtue of its effects on cell adhesion and motility in recurrent ductal breast cancer.
