Cross-Comparative Study of DNA Methylation Patterns in the Frontal Lobe White Matter of Multiple System Atrophy, Parkinson’s Disease, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Academic Background Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by neuronal loss and gliosis, accompanied by glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) ...

Characteristics of Premature Cellular Senescence in Alzheimer’s Disease: Application of Single-Nucleus Transcriptomics Research Background and Objectives Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia in the elderly, characterized by extracellular deposition of β-amyloid protein and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Other patholo...

Background Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of neurons in the brain. Its main pathological features include extracellular β-amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). β-amyloid plaques are primarily composed of aggregated Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ). A...

Somatic and Germline PRNP Variants in Sporadic Human Prion Disease: A Neuropathological Study Introduction Prion diseases are a class of infectious, progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the pathological folding and aggregation of prion protein (PrP). Prion protein is encoded by the PRNP gene, with normal cellular prion...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebral blood vessels. It is common not only in the elderly and almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but can also occur independently of other AD-related pathologies. The presence and severity of CAA promote the progression of AD-related cl...

Broadband Achromatic Spatial Differential Imaging with Optical Spin-Orbit Coupling Background Introduction In image processing, traditional spatial differentiation is typically accomplished through digital electronic computation. However, many big data applications require real-time and high-throughput image processing, which poses a tremendous cha...

In contemporary clinical oncology practice and drug development, the methods for evaluating tumor response are on the cusp of a revolution. Since the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed tumor response classification criteria for assessing the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs in 1981, this field has undergone several improvements. Notably, th...

Overall Survival and Treatment Patterns in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Based on PTEN Status Academic Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among men worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Approximately 10%-20% of prostate cancer patients will develop castration-resistant ...

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and deadly tumor types in women. In recent years, Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have shown encouraging clinical results in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Numerous studies have found that patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) benefit more from PARPi treatment. Therefore, ...

Research Report on CDK12 Structural Rearrangements in Brain Metastases of Breast Cancer Background and Purpose Breast Cancer (BC) is the second most common solid tumor involving the Central Nervous System (CNS). Brain Metastases from Breast Cancer (BCBMs) are becoming increasingly common among patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with a...
