Targeting the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK Pathways Attenuates Golgin-97 Depletion-Induced Cancer Progression in Breast Cancer

Targeting ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK Pathways Attenuates Golgin-97 Depletion-Induced Breast Cancer Progression Research Background Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) having a particularly high metastasis rate and poor prognosis. TNBC lacks expression of estrogen receptor, proges...

Histone Demethylases in Autophagy and Inflammation

The Role of Histone Demethylases in Autophagy and Inflammation Background Introduction Autophagy is an essential lysosomal degradation process in eukaryotic cells, playing a critical role in cellular component renewal and homeostasis maintenance. Dysregulation of autophagy is associated with various diseases, including cancer, inflammatory diseases...

FOXC1-Mediated Serine Metabolism Reprogramming Enhances Colorectal Cancer Growth and 5-FU Resistance

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 the Glioma Microenvironment and Their Role in Anti-Glioma Immunity

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...

Wnt/β-catenin Signaling is Critical for the Tumorigenesis of Choroid Plexus Tumors

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 ...

ENPP1 Induces Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction and Promotes Brain Metastasis Formation in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Breast Cancer

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...

Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumor Cell States Phenocopy Cerebral Vascular Development and Homeostasis

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...

Analysis of HER2 Expression Changes from Breast Primary to Brain Metastases and the Impact of HER2-Low Expression on Overall Survival

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...

Contemporary Prognostic Signatures and Refined Risk Stratification of Gliomas: An Analysis of 4400 Tumors

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 ...

Multimodal Deep Learning Improves Recurrence Risk Prediction in Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas

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...
