Abstract:
Cardiac involvement by intravascular protruding renal cell carcinoma is a well-recognised phenomenon. It most commonly occurs through inferior vena cava extension. Here, we report a case of a lower lobar lung metastasis from renal cell carcinoma involving the left atrium via the inferior pulmonary vein in a patient presenting with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Complete surgical resection was achieved under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous capillaries...
