Paper Report: The Role of MDH2 in Epitranscriptomic Metabolic Regulation of Glioblastoma Stem Cells Introduction and Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain malignant tumor in adults. GBM cells utilize a metabolic pathway known as the Warburg effect, which involves increased glucose uptake through aerobic glycolysi...

Fructose Promotes Colorectal Cancer Growth by Modulating Tumor-Associated Macrophage Polarization Introduction In recent years, fructose intake has dramatically increased worldwide and is closely associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, both of which are recognized risk factors for cancer development. Although previous studies have shown tha...

Novel Subpopulation of Adipose Tissue Macrophages IMAMs and Their Role in Obesity and Metabolic Disorders Background Obesity is an increasingly severe health issue worldwide, often accompanied by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. This condition is driven by the infiltration and dysfunction of immune cells within adipose tissue and other me...

Comprehensive Clinical and Preclinical Studies Reveal the Therapeutic Potential of Ferroterminator1 (FOT1) for Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) Background: Research Needs on MAFLD and Iron Overload Issues Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a common chroni...

Integration of Electrophysiological and Genomic Analysis Reveals Tumor Cells Capable of Generating Action Potentials in Human Gliomas Background and Research Objectives Gliomas are the most common malignant tumors in the central nervous system, with approximately 20,000 new cases annually. These tumors include two subtypes: isocitrate dehydrogenase...

Cross-Organ Human Fibroblast Atlas Reveals Unique Roles of Different Myofibroblast Subtypes in Immune Regulation Research Background and Motivation Fibroblasts play critical roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis, inflammatory responses, fibrosis, and cancer progression. In recent years, the diversity of fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment (...
