Enhanced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Signatures Are Linked with Adverse Tumor Microenvironment, Angiogenesis, and Worse Survival in Gastric Cancer

Enhanced EMT Characteristics Associated with Unfavorable Tumor Microenvironment, Angiogenesis, and Poorer Prognosis in Gastric Cancer Academic Background Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is an extremely important mechanism that promotes the metastasis of cancer cells. However, despite its apparent importance, the clinical significance of EMT...

LOXL1-AS1 Inhibits JAK2 Ubiquitination and Promotes Cholangiocarcinoma Progression through JAK2/STAT3 Signaling

LOXL1-AS1 Promotes Cholangiocarcinoma Progression by Regulating the JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway Academic Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor originating from biliary epithelium, presenting significant medical challenges. Its incidence shows geographical variation, being particularly high in Asia and South America. The occurren...

Single-cell atlas reveals the immunosuppressive microenvironment and Treg cells landscapes in recurrent glioblastoma

Single-Cell Atlas Reveals Immunosuppressive Microenvironment and Treg Cell Distribution in Recurrent Glioblastoma Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor, with a very high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Although many studies have explored the tumor microenvironment of this disease, the understanding of the immune microenvironment in re...

The Role of SDCBP in Immunotherapy of Colorectal Cancer

Role of Syndecan Binding Protein (SDCBP) in Regulating Tumor Microenvironment, Tumor Progression, and Anti-PD1 Efficacy in Colorectal Cancer Background In recent years, immunotherapy has brought revolutionary advancements in cancer treatment.

Identification of Lineage-Specific Epigenetic Regulators FOXA1 and GRHL2 through Chromatin Accessibility Analysis of Breast Cancer Cell Lines Background Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease currently classified clinically based on gene expression patterns, intrinsic molecular subtypes, and the expression of hormone receptors/human epider...

Adeno-Associated Virus-Mediated Trastuzumab Delivery to the Central Nervous System for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2+ Brain Metastasis

AAV-Mediated Trastuzumab Delivery to the Central Nervous System for EGFR2-Positive Brain Metastases Introduction In the treatment of breast cancer, tumors that are human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive exhibit more aggressive characteristics, posing significant challenges for clinical treatment. Since the approval of trastuzumab ...

The Cortical Neurophysiological Signature of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Analysis of Cortical Neurophysiological Characteristics of ALS and Its Potential as a Biomarker Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects adults, characterized by a gradual loss of the integrity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral motor system. Although clinical and genetic studies have reveale...

Tracking the Neurodevelopmental Trajectory of Beta Band Oscillations with Optically Pumped Magnetometer-based Magnetoencephalography

Tracking the Neurodevelopmental Trajectory of Beta Band Oscillations with Optically Pumped Magnetometer-based Magnetoencephalography

Research Background Neural oscillations are fundamental components of brain function, coordinating electrophysiological activities within and between neural assemblies, which is crucial for cognitive and behavioral processes. During children’s growth, the development of these neural processes is not only an important neuroscience issue but also can...

SIRT1-RAB7 Axis Attenuates NLRP3 and STING Activation through Late Endosomal-Dependent Mitophagy during Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury

The SIRT1-Rab7 Axis Regulates NLRP3 and STING Activation in Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Terminal Endosome-Dependent Mitophagy Academic Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the leading causes of death in septic patients, primarily due to the pro-inflammatory changes and permeability defects in endothelial cells (ECs). Mitochondrial ...
