3D Bioprinting of Tumor Models and Potential Applications

3D Bioprinting of Tumor Models and Their Potential Applications: A Review Academic Background Cancer is one of the leading causes of human mortality worldwide. Its uncontrolled abnormal proliferation, rapid growth, metastasis, and high heterogeneity result in extremely low clinical translation rates for traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture...

Transcriptome Concordance Between Borderline Tumors and Endometrioid Carcinoma: An Integrative Genomic Analysis

Transcriptomic Concordance Between Borderline Ovarian Tumors and Endometrioid Carcinoma: A Research Study Background Introduction Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are ovarian neoplasms that lie between benign and malignant tumors, typically occurring in young women. Although BOTs are clinically non-invasive, they can occasionally progress to malign...

Exploring Cervical Adenocarcinoma: Epidemiological Insights, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges, and Pathogenetic Mechanisms

Exploring Cervical Adenocarcinoma: Epidemiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges, and Pathogenetic Mechanisms Academic Background Cervical cancer poses a significant threat to women’s health globally, particularly in developing countries. The main histological types of cervical cancer include squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and cervical adenoca...

Platelet-Activating Factor: A Potential Therapeutic Target to Improve Cancer Immunotherapy

The Potential Role of Platelet-Activating Factor in Cancer Immunotherapy Background Cancer immunotherapy has been a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment in recent years, but its efficacy is still limited by the immunosuppressive mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME supports the differentiation and proliferation of mye...

Enhancing Immunotherapy Through PD-L1 Upregulation: The Promising Combination of Anti-PD-L1 Plus mTOR Inhibitors

Enhancing Immunotherapy Potential Through PD-L1 Upregulation—Combination of Anti-PD-L1 and mTOR Inhibitors Background Introduction In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made significant progress in cancer treatment, particularly in the treatment of urothelial cancer (UC). PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors restore T cell anti-tumor activity ...

Targeting SRSF10 Might Inhibit M2 Macrophage Polarization and Potentiate Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The Role of SRSF10 in Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Academic Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks sixth in global cancer incidence and third in mortality. Although surgical resection is the primary treatment for HCC, the high postoperative recurrence rate significantly impacts patient prognosis. In recent years, immunotherap...

Microglia and Macrophages in Glioblastoma: Landscapes and Treatment Directions

Microglia and Macrophages in Glioblastoma Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system, characterized by high invasiveness and lethality. Despite standard treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the survival rate of patients remains extremely limited, with a medi...

Integrative Analysis of Ewing’s Sarcoma Reveals the MIF-CD74 Axis as a Target for Immunotherapy

Discovery of a New Immunotherapy Target for Ewing Sarcoma Background Introduction Ewing sarcoma (Ewing’s sarcoma, EWS) is a common pediatric bone cancer, accounting for approximately 2% of childhood cancers. Despite significant advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and CAR-T cell therapy in various cancers, their efficacy in Ewing sarcoma...

Induction of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in the Glioma Microenvironment and Their Role in Anti-Glioma Immunity

Induction of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Glioma Immunotherapy and Their Anti-Tumor Immune Effects Background Introduction Glioma is a highly malignant brain tumor characterized by limited lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (glioma microenvironment, GME), presenting an “immune desert” state. This characteristic makes glioma in...

Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumor Cell States Phenocopy Cerebral Vascular Development and Homeostasis

Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Study of Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors Academic Background Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the meninges of the central nervous system (CNS). Although SFTs are histologically similar to other meningeal tumors (such as meningiomas), their unique clinical...
