Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant tumor and one of the deadliest cancers. At molecular level, CRC is a heterogeneous disease that could be divided in four Consensus Molecular Subtypes. Given the differences in the disease due to its anatomical location (proximal and distal colon), another classification should be considered. Here, we review the current knowledge on CRC dichotomic´s behaviour based on two different entities; right and left-sided tumors, their impact on clinical trial data, microbiota spatial composition and the interaction with the nervous system. We discuss recent advances in understanding how the spatial tumor heterogeneity influences the tumor growth, progression, and responses to current therapies.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common brain tumors, which present poor prognosis, due, in part, to tumor cell migration and infiltration into distant brain areas. However, the underlying mechanisms causing such effects are unknown. Hedgehog (HH)–Gli axis is one of the signaling pathways involved, with a high number of molecular mediators. In this study, we investigated the association between HH-Gli intermediates and clinical parameters. We found that high levels of SuFu are associated with high dissemination patterns in patients with glioma. Therefore, we analyzed SuFu expression data in three glioma cohorts of surgical samples (N =1,759) and modified its expression in Glioblastoma Cancer Stem Cells (GB CSC) in vitro models. Our data reveal that SuFu overexpression increases cancer stemness properties together with a migratory phenotype. This work identifies SuFu as a new molecular player in glioma cell migration and a promising target to develop blocking agents to decrease GB dissemination.

Abstract
The diagnosis of glioma is mainly based on imaging methods that do not distinguish between stage and subtype prior to histopathological analysis. Patients with gliomas are generally diagnosed in the symptomatic stage of the disease. Additionally, healing scar tissue may be mistakenly identified based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a false positive tumor recurrence in postoperative patients. Current knowledge of molecular alterations underlying gliomagenesis and identification of tumoral biomarkers allow for their use as discriminators of the state of the organism. Moreover, a multiomics approach provides the greatest spectrum and the ability to track physiological changes and can serve as a minimally invasive method for diagnosing asymptomatic gliomas, preceding surgery and allowing for the initiation of prophylactic treatment. It is important to create a vast biomarker library for adults and pediatric patients due to their metabolic differences. This review focuses on the most promising proteomic, metabolomic and lipidomic glioma biomarkers, their pathways, the interactions, and correlations that can be considered characteristic of tumor grade or specific subtype.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) — including exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies — have received much scientific attention last decade as mediators of a newly discovered cell-to-cell communication system, acting at short and long distances. EVs carry biologically active molecules, thus providing signals that influence a spectrum of functions in recipient cells during various physiological and pathological processes. Recent findings point to EVs as very attractive immunomodulatory therapeutic agents, vehicles for drug delivery and diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in liquid biopsies. In addition, EVs interact with and regulate the synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which is crucial for organ development and wound healing, as well as bone and cardiovascular calcification. EVs carrying matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in ECM remodeling, thus modifying tumor microenvironment and contributing to premetastatic niche formation and angiogenesis. Here we review the role of EVs in control of cell function, with emphasis on their interaction with ECM and microenvironment in health and disease.
