Study on Metabolic Differences between IDH Mutant and Wild-type Glioma Cells Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Platform Background Introduction In the diagnosis and treatment of gliomas, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections are commonly used. However, due to background noise interference from the embedding medium, th...
Microcirculatory Disorders of Cerebral Blood Flow and the Hypoxic-Ischemic Microenvironment Related to Brain Metastasis Development Background and Research Motivation Brain metastasis (BM) is an increasing challenge in oncology due to its severe impact on neurological function, limited treatment options, and resulting poor prognosis. BM develops th...
Analysis of Risk Factors Related to Specific Domain Neurocognitive Outcomes in Pediatric Survivors of Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors – HIT 2000 Trial Results Research Background Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in childhood, particularly central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Studies have shown that patients who receive craniospinal irradi...
Manifestations of Genomic-Level Intratumoral Tumor Heterogeneity in Multi-Region Patient-Derived Xenograft Models of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Academic Background and Research Motivation Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) models are widely used in cancer research. PDX models are established by transplanting human tumors into immunodeficient mice. The...
Systematic Analysis of NDUFAF6 in Complex I Assembly and Mitochondrial Disease Background Mitochondrial complex I (CI) is a crucial component of the respiratory chain, playing an essential role in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) by introducing electrons into the mitochondrial respiratory chain and, together with complexes II-IV, generating and m...
Unsaturation of Fatty Acids Promotes Pore-Forming Activity of Bax and Bak in Apoptosis Background Apoptosis is the major form of programmed cell death, involved in fundamental biological processes such as embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and immune system functions. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to neurodegenerative diseases and tum...
Orthogonal Proteogenomic Analysis Identifies Druggable PA2G4-MYC Axis in 3q26 AML Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive malignancy. In particular, the 3q26 chromosomal abnormality subtype of AML has a complex pathogenic mechanism and lacks effective targeted therapies. To address this challenge, Matteo Marchesini and...
Interaction Between Gut Microbiota and Colonic Enteroendocrine Cells Regulates Host Metabolism Research Background Obesity is a major health issue in the 21st century and a significant factor contributing to various adverse health consequences such as diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, exploring the biological me...
Enhancing Super-Resolution Imaging and Volume Electron Microscopy with Deep Learning Algorithms Based on Diffusion Models Background Introduction Electron Microscopy (EM) as a high-resolution imaging tool has made significant breakthroughs in cell biology. Traditional EM techniques are primarily used for two-dimensional imaging, and although they h...
Preventing Diabetic Cardiomyopathy through Suppressing TGR5-Mediated Fatty Acid Uptake Background and Problem Statement Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DBCM) is a severe complication frequently faced by diabetic patients, characterized by lipid accumulation in the myocardium and cardiac dysfunction. Bile acid metabolism plays a crucial role in cardiovascu...
