Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response-Dependent β-Catenin Signaling Promotes Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer Academic Background Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men, second only to skin cancer. Although current treatments, such as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), can induce remission in prostate cancer, ...

Academic Background and Paper Introduction Background The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is dysregulated in various cancers, particularly in colorectal and endometrial cancers. Abnormal activation of this pathway is often associated with mutations in tumor suppressor genes such as APC, AXIN1/2, and β-catenin itself. Additionally, RNF43 and ZNRF3, ...

Academic Background and Problem Statement Gastric Cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with approximately 1.1 million new cases diagnosed in 2020. Although advancements in early detection, surgical techniques, and oncology have led to a decline in GC mortality, the treatment of advanced or metastatic GC remains a significant cha...
