Endocrine-targeting therapies shift the breast microbiome to reduce estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer risk

Exploring the Impact of Endocrine-Targeting Therapies on Breast Microbiota and Their Potential in Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of cancer in women. Despite significant advancements in diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate remains high, with over 40,000 deaths annually in the U...

Complete Inhibition of Liver Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Activity Exacerbates Liver Tumorigenesis in Mice Treated with Diethylnitrosamine

Inhibition of Liver Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) Activity Exacerbates Liver Tumorigenesis in Mice Academic Background Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer globally and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. In recent years, the burden of liver canc...

Wnt/β-catenin Signaling is Critical for the Tumorigenesis of Choroid Plexus Tumors

The Critical Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling in Choroid Plexus Tumorigenesis Background Introduction The choroid plexus (CHP) is a secretory epithelial structure located in the brain ventricles, primarily responsible for the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the establishment of the blood-CSF barrier. Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare ...

Engineered Extrachromosomal Oncogene Amplifications Promote Tumorigenesis

Academic Background and Problem Statement In cancer research, gene amplification is a common form of mutation, particularly in the activation of oncogenes. However, despite the widely recognized importance of gene amplification in cancer, precisely modeling these amplifications in primary cells and model organisms remains a challenge. Specifically,...

Oncogenic Fatty Acid Oxidation Senses Circadian Disruption in Sleep-Deficiency-Enhanced Tumorigenesis

Fatty Acid Oxidation in Lung Cancer Patients Induced by Sleep Loss Promotes Tumorigenesis Through Circadian Rhythm Disruption Background and Research Motivation Circadian rhythm regulation is one of the critical mechanisms for animals to maintain physiological homeostasis. However, disruptions in circadian rhythms have become a common phenomenon du...
