Dysfunctional circadian clock accelerates cancer metastasis by intestinal microbiota triggering accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Dysfunctional circadian clock accelerates cancer metastasis by intestinal microbiota triggering accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Disruption of Circadian Rhythm Promotes Cancer Metastasis and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Accumulation Triggered by Intestinal Microbes Academic Background and Research Motivation Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of death for most cancer patients, with colorectal cancer (CRC) drawing significant attention due to its high global incidence ...

COQ7 Defect Causes Prenatal Onset of Mitochondrial CoQ10 Deficiency with Cardiomyopathy

Perinatal onset of mitochondrial CoQ10 deficiency due to COQ7 defect with cardiomyopathy and gastrointestinal obstruction Background Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a lipid-soluble molecule with antioxidant properties and a key component in electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. CoQ10 deficiency is a rare mitochondrial metaboli...

Antibiotics-Induced Intestinal Immunomodulation Attenuates Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis (EAN)

Antibiotic-Induced Intestinal Immunomodulation Alleviates Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis (EAN) Academic Background Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune disease that causes inflammatory demyelination of peripheral nerves. As the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis, its global annual incidence is 1-4 cases per 100,000 peopl...

Targeting the Intestinal Circadian Clock by Meal Timing Ameliorates Gastrointestinal Inflammation

Research on Alleviating Gastrointestinal Inflammation by Adjusting Intestinal Circadian Rhythm through Feeding Time Background Information Impaired expression of intestinal circadian rhythm genes has been observed in biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Disruption of circadian rhythms, such as that occurring in shift worker...

Neutrophil-derived PAD4 induces citrullination of CKMT1 exacerbates mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease

In recent years, increasing evidence from research on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has shown that neutrophils play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of intestinal inflammation. IBD includes Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and while its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, abnormal immune responses are clear...

Synergistic Antitumor Activity by Dual Blockade of CCR1 and CXCR2 Expressed on Myeloid Cells within the Tumor Microenvironment

Synergistic Antitumor Activity by Dual Blockade of CCR1 and CXCR2 Expressed on Myeloid Cells within the Tumor Microenvironment

Achieving Synergistic Antitumor Activity by Dual Blocking of CCR1 and CXCR2 Expression in Myeloid Cells Background Introduction Colorectal Cancer (CRC) poses a global health crisis, with its incidence and mortality rates rapidly rising in recent years. Over the past 15 years, the mortality rate of CRC has increased by more than 30%, and it is expec...

Genomic Profiling of Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma: A Pooled Analysis from 3 Databases

Overview of Genomics in Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma: A Data Integration Analysis Based on Three Major Databases Background and Significance of the Study Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare tumor, but its incidence has increased in recent years, especially in duodenal adenocarcinoma. Approximately 20% of SBA patients have certain susceptibilit...

Efficacy-Effectiveness Analysis on Survival in a Population-Based Real-World Study of BRAF-Mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients Treated with Encorafenib-Cetuximab

Efficacy-Effectiveness Analysis of Encorafenib-Cetuximab Treatment in Patients with Oncogene-Mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Cohort Study Research Background With the advancement of personalized medicine, targeted therapy has become an important means to treat various cancers.
