A prognostic neural epigenetic signature in high-grade glioma

Study of Neuroepithelial Genetic Markers and Prognosis in High-Grade Gliomas Background and Research Motivation High-grade gliomas are highly malignant brain tumors with generally poor patient prognosis. Previous preclinical model studies have suggested that interactions between neural and tumor cells drive tumor growth, but clinical validation of ...

Neurophysiological Study of Orientation Discrimination in a Working Memory Task

Neurophysiological Study: Neurophysiological Research on Orientation Discrimination in a Working Memory Task Background Recognizing and remembering the spatial orientation of the environment is a crucial component of visuospatial behavior. Accurately storing and recalling this information helps us navigate in space and respond adaptively to rapid c...

Theta Oscillations Support Prefrontal-Hippocampal Interactions in Sequential Working Memory

Study on Theta Oscillations in Hippocampus-Prefrontal Interaction Supporting Sequential Working Memory Academic Background The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the hippocampus play crucial roles in sequential working memory, but the specific interaction mechanisms are not yet clear. Previous studies have shown that these two brain regions...

Single-Subject Cortical Morphological Brain Networks: Phenotypic Associations and Neurobiological Substrates

This paper is a study on the phenotypic associations and neurobiological bases of single-subject morphological brain networks. Combining multimodal and multiscale data, this study reveals the differences in morphological brain networks between genders, their potential as individual-specific markers, and their relationships with gene expression, lay...

Histone 3 Lysine 9 Acetylation-Specific Reprogramming Regulates Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression and Metastasis

The Mechanism of Action of Specific Reprogramming of Histone H3 Lysine 9 Acetylation (H3K9ac) in the Progression and Metastasis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) Background Esophageal cancer is one of the most prevalent and invasive malignant tumors globally, causing over 500,000 cancer-related deaths annually, ranking sixth among cancer...

Schwann cell derived pleiotrophin stimulates fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen deposition in plexiform neurofibroma

This study explores the interactions between Schwann cells and fibroblasts in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) related plexiform neurofibroma (PNF). The background of the research is based on the high incidence of NF1, which affects about 1 in 3000 newborns worldwide and is associated with a series of unique clinical manifestations. PNF is a common p...

Neddylation of Insulin Receptor Substrate as a Bona Fide Regulator of Insulin Signaling and Its Implications for Cancer Cell Migration

NEDDylation of Insulin Receptor Substrates as Regulators of Insulin Signaling and Its Effect on Cancer Cell Migration Academic Background In recent years, the association between cancer and diabetes has garnered significant attention due to their overlapping pathological mechanisms and epidemiological links. Epidemiological studies have shown that ...
