Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and deadly tumor types in women. In recent years, Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have shown encouraging clinical results in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Numerous studies have found that patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) benefit more from PARPi treatment. Therefore, ...
Background of Urgent Problem Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced form of prostate cancer characterized by resistance to castration therapy. Radium-223 is an α-emitting radiopharmaceutical that has been shown to improve overall survival (OS) and reduce sk...
Tumor Cell-Intrinsic PD-L1 Signaling Induces Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) Predicting Poor Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in PD-L1 High-Expressing Lung Cancer Research Background and Motivation In cancer immunotherapy, Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibits immune responses by binding to Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptors o...
Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteomics Study for Diagnosis and Prediction of Alzheimer’s Disease Background and Research Objectives Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline, and currently, there is no effective cure globally. Traditionally, the pathological features of AD include β-amyloid (Aβ)...
Evaluation of Epilepsy Seizure Onset Zone (SOZ) Implantation Quality through Spatial Perturbation Framework in Pre-Surgical Planning Background The success of epilepsy surgery relies heavily on the accuracy of pre-surgical planning, which typically involves identifying the epileptic zone (EZ) using clinical symptomatology, electroencephalography (E...
APOE4 Homozygotes Represent a Unique Genotypic Subset of Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the neurodegenerative diseases that modern medicine has yet to conquer, usually with a complex genetic background. While mutations in three genes (APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2) lead to early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s dise...
