Neutrophils Physically Interact with Tumor Cells to Form a Signaling Niche Promoting Breast Cancer Aggressiveness

Academic Background Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide, with a complex pathogenesis involving interactions among multiple cell types and signaling pathways. In recent years, the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer progression has gradually gained attention. Neutrophils, as an essential comp...

Targeting Dysregulated Phago-/Auto-Lysosomes in Sertoli Cells to Ameliorate Late-Onset Hypogonadism

Research Background This study focuses on late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), aiming to uncover the mechanisms associated with age-related testicular function deviations, such as LOH, which are not yet fully understood. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing technology, the study analyzed the testicles of humans with LOH to identify supporting cells (SCs)...

Revealing Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Related CAF Subpopulations Associated with Chordoma Progression

Revealing Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Related CAF Subpopulations Associated with Chordoma Progression

Introduction Chordoma is a rare and locally aggressive mesenchymal tumor, believed to originate from the remnant tissues of the primitive notochord. The incidence of chordoma is approximately 0.8 per million, with a predilection for the sacral and skull base regions. Currently, the optimal treatment strategy is maximal safe surgical resection follo...
