Analysis of the Influence of Alkaloids on Frog Skin Microbiomes and Their Metabolic Functions Background and Significance Poison frogs (family Dendrobatidae) are amphibians with unique defense mechanisms, as their skin is rich in alkaloids, which are known for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. However, the ways these alkaloids affect t...
Background Introduction Chemotherapy has long been a cornerstone of cancer treatment but is accompanied by significant side effects. Among cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy drugs (e.g., cisplatin), the incidence of thromboembolic events significantly increases, including pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular incidents, angina, and...
Stage-specific Chromosomal Deletions Activate the IRX3 Oncogene in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia In the field of cancer research, understanding regulatory mechanisms of the noncoding genome remains a key focus, especially concerning how oncogenes can be aberrantly activated through non-canonical regulatory pathways. This paper, authored by Su...
Genetic and Pharmacological Targeting of mTORC1 in Mouse Models of Arteriovenous Malformation Expose Non-Cell Autonomous Signalling in HHT Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations leading to the loss of function in either Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 1 (ACVRL1) or Endoglin (ENG), which act as receptors a...
Academic Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of central vision loss among the elderly, particularly in its neovascular (NV) form, where choroidal neovascularization (CNV) leads to rapid and severe vision loss. Current AMD treatments primarily rely on intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (...
Research Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted the role of cerebrovascular alterations in the pathogenesis of AD. Specifically, endothelial cell damage and inflam...
Research Report on the Academic Paper Title: Advanced Single-Cell and Spatial Analysis with High-Multiplex Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells and Tumor Tissue in Prostate Cancer: Unveiling Resistance Mechanisms with the CODuco In Situ Assay Authors: Lilli Bonstingl et al.

Research Objective This study aims to identify specific proteins secreted by prostate cancer cells through comprehensive proteomic analysis and explore their role in bone metastasis, with the goal of discovering blood biomarkers that can improve the prognosis of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Research Team an...
FBXL16: A New Regulator of Neuroinflammation and Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease through Ubiquitination-Dependent Degradation of Amyloid Precursor Protein Academic Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline. With the global aging population, the incidence of neuro...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults. Although most AML patients achieve complete remission after standard chemotherapy, refractory and relapsed disease remain a significant challenge. Over the past decade, immunotherapy has been widely applied in cancer treatment, particularly chimeric antigen receptor T-cell ...
