The cancer genome contains several driver mutations. However, in some cases, no known drivers have been identified; these remaining areas of unmet needs, leading to limited progress in cancer therapy. Whole-ge...
Cellular senescence (CS), a permanent and irreversible arrest of the cell cycle and proliferation leading to the degeneration of cellular structure and function, has been implicated in various key physiologica...
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a heterogeneous embryonal malignancy and the deadliest tumor of infancy. It is a complex disease that can result in diverse clinical outcomes. In some children, tumors regress spontaneous...
Plenty of circRNAs have been reported to play an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC), while the reason of abnormal circRNA expression in cancer still keep elusive. Here, we found that m7G RNA modificatio...
Drug resistance in cancer cells significantly diminishes treatment efficacy, leading to recurrence and metastasis. A critical factor contributing to this resistance is the epigenetic alteration of gene express...
The development of drug resistance remains a major challenge in cancer treatment. Ferroptosis, a unique type of regulated cell death, plays a pivotal role in inhibiting tumour growth, presenting new opportunit...
Recent research has uncovered a surprisingly high occurrence of aberrant expression and mutations in the genes that encode subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes (SCRC). Nevertheless, the carci...
In many hematologic malignancies, the adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells has demonstrated notable success; nevertheless, further improvements are necessary to optimize treatment effic...
The drug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein, encoded by the ABCB1 gene, promotes acquired chemoresistance. We explored the presence and clinical relevance of circulating cell-free ABCB1 transcripts (cfABCB1tx) in ...
Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) significantly enhances patient outcomes. Conventional CRC screening tools, like endoscopy and stool-based tests, have constraints due to their invasiveness or subopti...
Exosomes mediate cell-to-cell crosstalk involving a variety of biomolecules through an intricate signaling network. In recent years, the pivotal role of exosomes and their non-coding RNAs cargo in the developm...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are unique noncoding RNAs that have a closed and stable loop structure generated through backsplicing. Due to their conservation, stability and tissue specificity, circRNAs can potenti...
