Epitope Editing Protects Hematopoietic Cells from CD123 Immunotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Epitope Prime Editing Shields Hematopoietic Cells from CD123 Immunotherapy: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Research Background and Problem Statement Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood disease characterized by the abnormal differentiation of myeloid hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Its incidenc...

The Landscape of Drug Sensitivity and Resistance in Sarcoma

Background Introduction This study explores the landscape of individual drug sensitivity and resistance in sarcoma patients. Sarcomas are a diverse group of tumors originating from mesenchymal tissue, including types such as osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma, mostly affecting young people. Although the annual incidence of sarcomas is relatively ...

Disruption of TGF-β signaling pathway is required to mediate effective killing of hepatocellular carcinoma by human iPSC-derived NK cells

Background Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 20%, and treatment options are extremely limited. Traditional targeted drug therapies, such as Sorafenib and other kinase inhibitors, have been used to treat HCC, but their efficacy is limited and diffi...

Metabolic Regulation of the Glioblastoma Stem Cell Epitranscriptome by Malate Dehydrogenase 2

Paper Report: The Role of MDH2 in Epitranscriptomic Metabolic Regulation of Glioblastoma Stem Cells Introduction and Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain malignant tumor in adults. GBM cells utilize a metabolic pathway known as the Warburg effect, which involves increased glucose uptake through aerobic glycolysi...

Hexokinase 2 Senses Fructose in Tumor-Associated Macrophages to Promote Colorectal Cancer Growth

Hexokinase 2 Senses Fructose in Tumor-Associated Macrophages to Promote Colorectal Cancer Growth

Fructose Promotes Colorectal Cancer Growth by Modulating Tumor-Associated Macrophage Polarization Introduction In recent years, fructose intake has dramatically increased worldwide and is closely associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, both of which are recognized risk factors for cancer development. Although previous studies have shown tha...

Pdia3 Defines a Novel Subset of Adipose Macrophages Exacerbating the Development of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders

Pdia3 Defines a Novel Subset of Adipose Macrophages Exacerbating the Development of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders

Novel Subpopulation of Adipose Tissue Macrophages IMAMs and Their Role in Obesity and Metabolic Disorders Background Obesity is an increasingly severe health issue worldwide, often accompanied by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. This condition is driven by the infiltration and dysfunction of immune cells within adipose tissue and other me...

The Therapeutic Potential of Ferroterminator1 in Treating Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis

Comprehensive Clinical and Preclinical Studies Reveal the Therapeutic Potential of Ferroterminator1 (FOT1) for Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) Background: Research Needs on MAFLD and Iron Overload Issues Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a common chroni...

Integrated Electrophysiological and Genomic Profiles of Single Cells Reveal Spiking Tumor Cells in Human Glioma

Integration of Electrophysiological and Genomic Analysis Reveals Tumor Cells Capable of Generating Action Potentials in Human Gliomas Background and Research Objectives Gliomas are the most common malignant tumors in the central nervous system, with approximately 20,000 new cases annually. These tumors include two subtypes: isocitrate dehydrogenase...

Cross-Tissue Human Fibroblast Atlas Reveals Myofibroblast Subtypes with Distinct Roles in Immune Modulation

Cross-Organ Human Fibroblast Atlas Reveals Unique Roles of Different Myofibroblast Subtypes in Immune Regulation Research Background and Motivation Fibroblasts play critical roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis, inflammatory responses, fibrosis, and cancer progression. In recent years, the diversity of fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment (...

Fibrotic Response to Anti-CSF-1R Therapy Potentiates Glioblastoma Recurrence

Fibrotic Response to Anti-CSF-1R Therapy Potentiates Glioblastoma Recurrence

Fibrotic Response Induced by Anti-CSF-1R Treatment Promotes Glioblastoma Recurrence Background Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and malignant primary tumor of the central nervous system. Although current standard treatments include surgical resection, Temozolomide chemotherapy, and fractionated radiotherapy, the median surviva...
