Life History Dynamics of Evolving Tumors: Insights into Task Specialization, Trade-offs, and Tumor Heterogeneity

Cancer Cell International - Review Report Background and Motivation In recent decades, research into cancer evolution has gradually revealed that the evolutionary patterns of cancer cells share many similarities with species evolution. This notion has changed our understanding of tumor evolution and heterogeneity. Cancer is initiated by the mutatio...

Systematic Multiomics Analysis and In Vitro Experiments Suggest ITGA5 as a Promising Therapeutic Target for CCRCC

Systematic Multi-Omics Analysis and In Vitro Experiments Suggest ITGA5 as a Potential Target for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) Treatment Research Background and Motivation Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accounting for about 75% of all kidney cancer cases. According to the ...

Identification and Validation of a Prognostic Model Based on Three TLS-Related Genes in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Research Report: Validation and Analysis of a Prognostic Model for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Constructed with TLS-Related Genes Background and Research Motivation Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common subtype of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), exhibiting a high tendency for lymph node metastasis, especially to the...

The Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Inherited Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Deficiency Disorders

Clinical and Genetic Spectrum Study of Inherited Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Deficiency Disorders (IGDs) Background Introduction The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring pathway is crucial for post-translational modification of many important proteins in eukaryotes, which are fundamental for cell signaling and early human neurogenesis and ...

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: PD Generation, A North American Study

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: Comprehensive Report Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms. Research has shown that at least seven genes (LRRK2, GBA1, PRKN, SNCA, PINK1, PARK7, VPS35) are directly related to the occurr...

Towards Cascading Genetic Risk in Alzheimer’s Disease

Cascading Pattern in Genetic Risk Research for Alzheimer’s Disease Background and Research Motivation Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of two pathological features: amyloid plaques and phosphorylated tau neurofibrillary tangles. These pathological features typically exist ...

Biallelic Variants in SNUPN Cause a Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy with Myofibrillar-like Features

Biallelic Variants in SNUPN Cause a Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy with Myofibrillar Features Academic Background Muscular dystrophies are a complex and heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy due to loss of muscle fibers. Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMD) are a subtype primarily...

Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogs Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells in Mouse Follicle Development

Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogue Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells During Mouse Follicle Development Overview Follicle development and maturation is a complex, multi-stage process. During this process, dynamic gene expression in oocytes and surrounding somatic cells, as well as the dialogue between them, play crucial roles. This study rev...
