La oncología molecular investiga las alteraciones genéticas, epigenéticas y bioquímicas que impulsan la iniciación, la progresión y la resistencia al tratamiento del cáncer. Este campo integra la secuenciación de alto rendimiento, el diagnóstico molecular y las terapias dirigidas para dilucidar las vías oncogénicas, la inactivación de genes supresores de tumores y las interacciones con el microambiente tumoral. Los avances en la caracterización molecular, el descubrimiento de biomarcadores y la medicina de precisión redefinen la clasificación y las estrategias de tratamiento del cáncer. Nuestra siguiente recopilación presenta las últimas publicaciones revisadas por pares e innovaciones patentadas, que reflejan la investigación de vanguardia sobre oncogenes, transducción de señales, células madre cancerosas, inmunomodulación y técnicas de imagen molecular esenciales para la oncología traslacional y las aplicaciones clínicas.

Tumor antigens for ovarian cancer and uses thereof
Patent published on the 2026-05-28 in WO under Ref WO2026107594 by UNIV DE MONTREAL [CA] (Perreault Claude [ca], Thibault Pierre [ca], Hardy Marie-pierre [ca], Vincent Krystel [ca])
Abstract: Ovarian cancer, notably high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), the principal cause of death from gynecological malignancies in the world, has not significantly benefited from recent progress in cancer immunotherapy. While HGSC infiltration by lymphocytes correlates with superior survival, the nature of antigens that can elicit anti-HGSC immune responses is still largely unknown. Novel tumor antigens shared by a large proportion of ovarian tumor cells are described herein. Several of the tumor [...]
Our summary: Novel tumor antigens for high-grade serous ovarian cancer are identified, derived from aberrantly expressed genomic sequences. These antigens are not present in normal tissues and may elicit immune responses. The study discusses their potential use in treatments, including nucleic acids, compositions, cells, and vaccines.

A simplified molecular diagnostic workflow for detecting human immunodeficiency virus 1 (hiv-1) and hepatitis c virus (hcv)
Patent published on the 2026-04-23 in WO under Ref WO2026081001 by HIS MAJESTY THE KING IN RIGHT OF CANADA AS REPRESENTED BY THE MINI OF HEALTH [CA] (Tang David [ca], Nguyen Kelvin [ca], Michalak Karen [ca], Lacap Phil [ca], Kim John [ca], Mclaren Paul [ca])
Abstract: Described herein is a singleplex RT-LAMP-based tests using modified primer sets. Contrived whole blood samples containing HIV-1 or HCV virions were diluted in equal parts water and loaded directly into optimized RT-LAMP master mixes. To mitigate cold-chain storage dependence, RT-LAMP reactions were performed using a lyophilized master mix. The reactions were heated for, for example 30 minutes using a hand-held, battery-powered heating device for simultaneous virion lysis and amplification.[...]
Our summary: This study presents a simplified workflow for detecting HIV-1 and HCV using singleplex RT-LAMP tests with modified primers. Whole blood samples containing the viruses were diluted and directly loaded into optimized master mixes. A lyophilized master mix allowed for reactions to be performed without cold-chain storage, using a portable heating device for amplification.

Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and common primary brain tumor, with a median survival of less than a year after diagnosis. γδ T lymphocytes are immune cells that can migrate to tumors and induce malignant cells’ apoptosis. Our previous in silico studies showed that higher γδ T-cell infiltration in GBM correlates with better patient survival, and in vitro experiments showed that GMB supernatants promote an antitumora[...]

Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers complex pathological processes, including inflammation, hypoxia, and fibrotic remodeling. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for cardiovascular injury; however, their expression dynamics along processes remain underexplored. We used an in vivo rat model of permanent coronary occlusion to study the molecular alterations associated with MI and its resolution in a temporal mode, including five experimental groups with five animals in each: sh[...]
Our summary: This study investigates the dynamic expression of microRNAs as biomarkers for cardiac ischemia following myocardial infarction. Using a rat model, it identifies specific miRNAs that correlate with the progression and resolution of myocardial injury over time. The findings suggest that these miRNA signatures can serve as noninvasive indicators of cardiac stress and potential therapeutic targets.
