Hereditary Cancer Screening and Outcomes at an Urban Safety-Net Hospital

Screening and Outcomes of Hereditary Cancer Syndromes: A Study at an Urban Safety Net Hospital Study Background Patients with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes (HCS) have a higher lifetime risk of developing cancer. Historically, underserved populations have lower rates of genetic evaluation. Hence, researchers aim to understand the demographic factors i...

Genomic Profiling of Rare Undifferentiated Sarcomatoid Subtypes of Pancreatic Carcinomas: In Search of Therapeutic Targets

Genomic Characteristics of a Rare Pancreatic Cancer Undifferentiated Sarcomatoid Carcinoma Subtype Academic Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers, characterized by early invasion and metastasis. Undifferentiated Sarcomatoid Carcinoma (USC) is a particularly aggressive but rare subtype of PDAC, accounting...

Aging-Induced MCPH1 Translocation Activates Necroptosis and Impairs Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function

Study on MCPH1 Nuclear Transfer Induced by Aging Activating Necrosis and Impairing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function Research Background The aging of hematopoietic stem cells is associated with an increased risk of various blood diseases, and DNA damage is a significant factor driving the aging of hematopoietic stem cells. However, the underlying mo...

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)...
