Clinical Validation Study on the Application of Cell-Free DNA Fragment Analysis in Enhancing Early Detection of Lung Cancer Background Lung cancer is one of the leading types of cancer threatening the health of both men and women globally. Over 125,000 people die from lung cancer in the United States each year, and globally, the number is close to ...
This is an academic paper report on the study of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stem cells. The study found that venetoclax treatment targeting the BCL-2 protein induces different mitochondrial calcium signaling changes in drug-sensitive and drug-resistant AML stem cells, thereby affecting their oxidative phosphorylation metabolism and survival. The ...
Response and Resistance Mechanisms of RAS Inhibitors in KRAS-Mutant NSCLC Research Background With the clinical development of RAS inhibitors, the treatment of KRAS-mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) faces a new turning point. However, in clinical practice, patients show poor long-term responses to RAS inhibitors, influencing clinical effica...
This study reveals a new targetable cancer subtype characterized by activating point mutations in the MET tyrosine kinase domain (TKD). Researchers identified MET TKD activating mutations in approximately 0.5% of patients across a genomic data set of over 600,000 cancer cases, encompassing various tumor types, with the highest prevalence in renal c...
Iron (Ferric Ion, Fe3+)-Dependent Telomerase Reactivation Drives Colorectal Cancer Development I. Research Background Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally, involving both genetic and non-genetic factors in its pathogenesis. Existing research shows a significant association between high iron content, hereditary iron overl...
High-Throughput Discovery of MHC Class I and II Restricted T Cell Epitopes Using a Novel Synthetic Cellular Circuit Research Background and Issues In recent years, antigen discovery technologies have made remarkable progress, especially in the application of human T-cell receptors (TCRs) in the recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ...
Spatially Isolated Macrophage Populations Predict Different Outcomes in Colon Cancer Introduction Macrophages are sentinel immune cells in tissues, performing a variety of functions including pathogen defense, antigen presentation, phagocytosis of dead cells, and the secretion of signals that drive tissue repair. In tumors, macrophage infiltration ...
Research Background: Suicide is a global public health challenge, but there is still significant uncertainty regarding the relationship between behavioral and physiological factors and suicide attempts (SA). Previous studies often focus on limited hypothesized factors such as mental illnesses (e.g., depression), personality and psychological traits...
Bidirectional Epigenetic Editing Reveals Hierarchies in Gene Regulation Background and Research Motivation In the human genome, the role of non-coding elements such as enhancers in gene regulation is widely recognized. However, current CRISPR interference methods still have some limitations in studying non-coding elements and genetic interactions. ...
In this report, we present a detailed evaluation of a research paper published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, titled “Principled Refinement of UK Biobank Phenotypic Data Reveals the Latent Structure of Human Variation.” The study, conducted by Caitlin E. Carey, Rebecca Shafee, Robbee Wedow, among others, was published online on XX XX, XXXX....
