This study explores the interactions between Schwann cells and fibroblasts in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) related plexiform neurofibroma (PNF). The background of the research is based on the high incidence of NF1, which affects about 1 in 3000 newborns worldwide and is associated with a series of unique clinical manifestations. PNF is a common p...
GRIN2A Mutations as a Novel Indicator for Stratifying Beneficiaries of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Various Cancers Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy, which modulates the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death (ligand) 1 (PD-(L)1) pathways, has made revolutionary progress in treating v...
NEDDylation of Insulin Receptor Substrates as Regulators of Insulin Signaling and Its Effect on Cancer Cell Migration Academic Background In recent years, the association between cancer and diabetes has garnered significant attention due to their overlapping pathological mechanisms and epidemiological links. Epidemiological studies have shown that ...
Research Overview Recently, a paper published in the journal “Cancer Gene Therapy” titled “Retinoids and EZH2 inhibitors cooperate to orchestrate anti-oncogenic effects on bladder cancer cells” has garnered widespread attention among peers. This paper explores the combined application of retinoic acid and EZH2 inhibitors in bladder cancer cells and...
Gastrointestinal Infections and Gastrointestinal Bleeding in CAR-T Cell Recipients are Underrated but Severe Adverse Events: A Real-World Study Introduction In recent years, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has shown lasting efficacy in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. However, multi-system toxic reactions associated...
The Antitumor Effect of Dual Inhibition of NAMPT and PAK4 in a 3D Spheroid Model of Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is a malignant gynecological tumor that is difficult to treat and has a short patient survival period. In recent years, researchers have sought new treatment strategies, targeting cancer stem cells ...
Enhanced EMT Characteristics Associated with Unfavorable Tumor Microenvironment, Angiogenesis, and Poorer Prognosis in Gastric Cancer Academic Background Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is an extremely important mechanism that promotes the metastasis of cancer cells. However, despite its apparent importance, the clinical significance of EMT...
LOXL1-AS1 Promotes Cholangiocarcinoma Progression by Regulating the JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway Academic Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor originating from biliary epithelium, presenting significant medical challenges. Its incidence shows geographical variation, being particularly high in Asia and South America. The occurren...
Single-Cell Atlas Reveals Immunosuppressive Microenvironment and Treg Cell Distribution in Recurrent Glioblastoma Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor, with a very high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Although many studies have explored the tumor microenvironment of this disease, the understanding of the immune microenvironment in re...
Role of Syndecan Binding Protein (SDCBP) in Regulating Tumor Microenvironment, Tumor Progression, and Anti-PD1 Efficacy in Colorectal Cancer Background In recent years, immunotherapy has brought revolutionary advancements in cancer treatment. However, for colorectal cancer (CRC), anti-programmed cell death 1 (APD1) therapy shows relatively limited ...
