Identification of Clonal Hematopoiesis Driver Mutations Through In Silico Saturation Mutagenesis

Introduction In the process of healthy hematopoiesis, a group of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) contribute to all blood-related lineages. However, as we age, this process often leads to clonal hematopoiesis (CH), meaning the expansion of clones originating from a particular HSC, which then occupies a significant portion of blood cells and platelets...

Novel WRN Helicase Inhibitors Selectively Target Microsatellite-Unstable Cancer Cells

In the current field of tumor treatment, precision medicine continues to be a research hotspot and development trend. With the advancement of science and technology, we have begun to more accurately understand the characteristics of tumor cells and their dependencies for survival, in hopes of finding new therapeutic targets. Particularly, strategie...

ror2 regulates cellular plasticity in pancreatic neoplasia and adenocarcinoma

Research Report: The Regulatory Role of ROR2 in Pancreatic Cancer Cell Plasticity Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease with most patients lacking the possibility of a cure. This is partly due to the difficulty in early detection. One of the characteristics of PDAC is its extensive tumor cell heterogene...

The N6-Methyladenosine Epitranscriptomic Landscape of Lung Adenocarcinoma

The N6-Methyladenosine Epitranscriptomic Landscape of Lung Adenocarcinoma

The Epitranscriptomic Landscape of N6-Methyladenosine Modification in Lung Adenocarcinoma Background Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers globally and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 80%-85% of all lung cancer cases, among which lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is of particular conc...

ZNF397 Deficiency Triggers TET2-driven Lineage Plasticity and AR-targeted Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer

ZNF397 Deficiency Triggers TET2-driven Lineage Plasticity and AR-targeted Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer

ZNF397 Deficiency Triggers TET2-Driven Lineage Plasticity and AR-Targeted Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer Academic Background and Research Motivation Existing research evidence suggests that cancer cell lineage plasticity and epigenetic reprogramming enable them to evade lineage-dependent targeted therapy by adopting lineage plasticity. Howev...
