Mitochondrial dynamics: A promising tool for personalized TNBC management

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and highly metastatic form of breast cancer and is associated with poor prognosis due to the lack of targeted therapies. Mitochondrial dysfunction...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of the host-tumor metabolic interface: Implications for precision nutritional oncology

Beyond somatic initiation, cancer progression is governed by a multidimensional systemic metabolic architecture. This permissive macroenvironment, shaped by systemic nutrient fluxes, endocrine networks,...

The update of prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 4 (EP4) in inflammatory diseases

Inflammation is a defensive response of the organism to stimuli and is crucial for maintaining the stability of the internal environment. However, abnormal inflammatory responses, including over-activation...

The ubiquitin system in heart and vessel pathobiology: From mechanisms to therapeutic strategies

Cardiovascular disease is currently a major global challenge, and its causes are complex, encompassing genetic, lifestyle, environmental, and other factors. Ubiquitination, an important post-translational...

Roles of Piezo channels in dentofacial deformity: Onset, orthodontic treatment, and associated diseases

The onset and treatment of dentofacial deformities are closely associated with mechanical stimuli. As mechanosensitive ion channels, Piezo channels play a critical role in the mechanotransduction processes...

The role, regulatory mechanisms, and therapeutic implications of FTO in gastrointestinal cancer

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common post-transcriptional modification in mRNA, playing a crucial role in cancer development by modulating RNA stability, translation, and nuclear export. As the...

Aberrant sialylation in cancer: From molecular mechanisms to potential therapeutics

Sialylation, a dynamic post-translational modification catalyzed by sialyltransferases and counterbalanced by neuraminidases, entails the attachment of sialic acids to the terminal residues of glycoproteins...

Lipophagy: A key regulator in oxidative stress and metabolic disorders

Lipophagy, the selective autophagic degradation of lipid droplets, is essential for regulating cellular lipid levels and energy balance while preventing lipotoxicity. This process integrates with metabolic...

Perspectives of EGFR co-targeting with nanocarriers for anti-TNBC purposes

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive and therapeutically challenging subtype of breast tumor, frequently marked by the relatively high expression of epidermal growth factor...

Respiratory mucosal immunity: Biological functions, diseases, prevention and therapy

Respiratory mucosal (RM) immunity is a highly specialized and dynamic network that safeguards the airways from inhaled pathogens while preserving tissue homeostasis. Acting as the body’s first line...

The potential role of the lung–brain axis in the pathophysiology of epilepsy: A hypothesis-driven perspective

The pathophysiology of epilepsy remains poorly understood. One of the less explored areas is the role of the lung–brain axis, a sophisticated and intricate bidirectional connection between these two...

DLL3 serves as a pivotal hub bridging malignant progression and immunosuppression in NECC with therapeutic implications validated via the organoid-TIL co-culture system

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) represents a highly aggressive cervical cancer subtype with a poorly characterized tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and unclear oncogenic mechanisms....

Dlc1 deletion activates the canonical Wnt pathway at an early stage and affects subsequent cardiac differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells

Cardiomyocyte differentiation is an important process during heart development that involves the specification of a series of cardiac lineage cells differentiated from mesendoderm to cardiac mesoderm,...

H2AX phosphorylation driven by the SET-PP2A axis maintains glioma stem cell properties

Glioblastoma harbors a subpopulation of glioma stem cells (GSCs) that drive tumor relapse and invasion. Although GSC properties are known to be regulated by key transcription factors and chromatin remodeling,...

Loss of med14 causes developmental malformations characteristic of VACTERL association by disrupting the Mediator complex

MED14 is the largest subunit in the Mediator complex and plays a key role in regulating RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription, but its developmental function remains largely unknown. Here, we show...

CCT2 enhances c-Myc stabilization to drive tumor progression and chemoresistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

CCT2, a vital subunit of the chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (CCT) complex, has emerged as a critical regulator of protein homeostasis and cancer progression. In this study, we highlight the essential role...

Co-localization of TAZ and H2A.Z up-regulates IL-6 expression in alveolar epithelial cells to polarize M2 cells to alleviate hypoxia-induced lung injury

Transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) plays a critical role in the repair process following lung injury by enhancing the proliferation of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) and exerting...

Neoliensinine promotes lysosomal cell death in T cell malignancies via a novel STING-TUBA1B pathway

The clinical treatment options for T cell malignancies (T-CMs) remain limited, and even the current popular immunotherapies have yet to demonstrate significant efficacy in addressing this disease. Identifying...

Integrative analysis reveals the clinical utility of cancer-associated fibroblast-derived signature, and its implication for young-onset thyroid cancer

Decoding age-stratified mutational landscapes in CNS lymphoma via genomic and survival profiling for precision oncology

Loss of minichromosome maintenance 4 leads to early renal dysplasia and cystogenesis outcomes

Pan-cancer analysis and mechanistic insights of tuft cell-like tumors

Tuft cells are rare, chemosensory epithelial cells present in various tissues, including the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Recent studies have revealed their significant role in cancer biology,...

IRP1/ARID3A complex promotes pancreatic cancer chemoresistance by suppressing CYGB-related ferroptosis

Ferroptosis, a unique modality of regulated cell death, has become an emerging strategy for tumor therapy. Multiple cellular pathways, including redox homeostasis, iron handling, epigenetic regulation,...

A parallel-risk framework accurately predicts hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes and identifies benefiting patients in pediatric AML

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) has a poorer prognosis than acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers curative potential in high-risk or relapsed...
