FOXC1-Mediated Serine Metabolism Reprogramming Enhances Colorectal Cancer Growth and 5-FU Resistance Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Although surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy are the primary treatments for CRC, tumor development and chemot...
Induction of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Glioma Immunotherapy and Their Anti-Tumor Immune Effects Background Introduction Glioma is a highly malignant brain tumor characterized by limited lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (glioma microenvironment, GME), presenting an “immune desert” state. This characteristic makes glioma in...
The Critical Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling in Choroid Plexus Tumorigenesis Background Introduction The choroid plexus (CHP) is a secretory epithelial structure located in the brain ventricles, primarily responsible for the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the establishment of the blood-CSF barrier. Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare ...
The Role of ENPP1 in Brain Metastasis of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Academic Background Brain metastasis (BM) is a severe neurological complication in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC), with an incidence rate as high as 50%. The formation of brain metastasis is closely related to how tumor cells cross the blood-brain barrier (BB...
Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Study of Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors Academic Background Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the meninges of the central nervous system (CNS). Although SFTs are histologically similar to other meningeal tumors (such as meningiomas), their unique clinical...
HER2 Expression Dynamics in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases and Its Impact on Survival Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, and brain metastases (BrMs) pose a significant challenge for patients. In recent years, with the prolonged survival of breast cancer patients, the incidence of brain metastases has g...
Molecular Classification and Prognostic Features of Gliomas Background Introduction Glioma is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults, and its classification, risk stratification, and treatment standards have undergone significant changes in recent years. With the introduction of molecular markers, the classification system for gliomas has ...
Application of Deep Learning in Postoperative Recurrence Prediction for Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas Background Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas (PLGGs) are one of the most common types of brain tumors in children, accounting for 30%-50% of all central nervous system tumors in children. Although the prognosis of PLGGs is relatively favorable, the risk of...
Targeting the Serine/Glycine Synthesis Pathway in MYC-Driven Medulloblastoma Background Medulloblastoma is one of the most common malignant brain tumors in children, accounting for a significant proportion of childhood cancer deaths. Based on molecular characteristics, medulloblastoma is classified into four major subgroups: WNT, SHH, Group 3 (MBGr...
Pathological Validation of MRI Tumor Habitats in Glioblastoma Background Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant brain tumor characterized by significant heterogeneity and invasiveness. Due to its complex tumor microenvironment (TME), traditional imaging methods struggle to accurately distinguish different tumor regions, such as the t...
