Study of a Novel NUMB Loss-of-Function Mutation Leading to Hyperuricemia and Gout

NUMB Gene Variant: A Novel Mechanism in Gout Development Background Gout is one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis worldwide, primarily triggered by the persistent elevation of serum uric acid levels, known as hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia leads to the deposition of urate crystals, resulting in inflammation of joints and other tissue...

Coagulation Factor X Promotes Resistance to Androgen-Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer

Study on the Role of Coagulation Factor X in Anti-androgen Resistance in Prostate Cancer Research Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. The occurrence and progression of prostate cancer are highly dependent on the androgen receptor (AR) signaling...

Study on the Apoptosis Induction of Bladder Cancer Stem Cells by Inhibiting Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase

Research Background Bladder cancer is a highly prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, ranking as the fourth most common malignancy in men. According to the 2016 report by the National Cancer Center of China (NCCR), bladder cancer ranks sixth in incidence among male malignancies. Despite continuous improvements in medical diagnostic methods and surgic...

Short-Term Cold Exposure Induces Persistent Epigenomic Memory in Brown Fat

Short-term Cold Exposure Induces Persistent Epigenomic Memory in Brown Adipose Tissue Background Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) is the primary non-shivering thermogenic organ in mammals that dissipates chemical energy as heat under cold stimuli. BAT is characterized by a high density of mitochondria containing Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1), which generat...

Transcriptomic Profiling of Primary Prostate Cancers and Nonlocalized Disease on Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen PET/CT: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Transcriptomic Analysis of Prostate Cancer Patients: A Study on Nonlocalized Disease Based on Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Academic Background Prostate cancer is a common male malignancy, and its diagnosis and treatment are crucial to patient prognosis. Transcriptomic analysis is a technique us...

Real-World Overall Survival and Treatment Patterns by PTEN Status in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Overall Survival and Treatment Patterns in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Based on PTEN Status Academic Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among men worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Approximately 10%-20% of prostate cancer patients will develop castration-resistant ...

Using the Cell-Cycle Risk Score to Predict the Benefit of Androgen-Deprivation Therapy Added to Radiation Therapy in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer

Using Cell Cycle Risk Score to Predict the Benefit of Radiotherapy Combined with ADT in Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer Patients Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men globally. In terms of treatment, localized prostate cancer is often treated primarily with radiotherapy (RT). However, the efficacy of RT alone is oft...

Academic Report for the Paper Titled “Prospective Study of Homologous Recombination Repair Gene Mutation Prevalence in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer from Latin America: Challenges and Future Approaches” Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). According to the 2020 Glo...

Circulating and Imaging Biomarkers of Radium-223 Response in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Circulating and Imaging Biomarkers of Radium-223 Response in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Background of Urgent Problem Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced form of prostate cancer characterized by resistance to castration therapy. Radium-223 is an α-emitting radiopharmaceutical that has been shown to improve overall survival (OS) and reduce sk...

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)...
