Macroscopic and Microscopic Mechanisms of Nicotinamide Metabolism Antagonism: Manipulation of the Gastric Cancer Microenvironment Background Introduction Gastric cancer (GC) is a type of cancer characterized by a unique and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite advances in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy for gastric cancer, n...
Inhibition of the electron transport chain increases cell dependence on purine transport and salvage Research Background The electron transport chain (ETC) is a key mechanism in mitochondria responsible for energy generation, playing an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and growth. However, it remains unclear how cells adjust their...
A Human Omentum-Specific Intermesothelial Fibroblast Population Inhibits Adipogenesis by Secreting IGFBP2 Background and Research Objective With the growing prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases, the plasticity and heterogeneity of adipose tissue have become research hotspots. Different regions of adipose tissue exhibit distinct metabolic ch...
Fatty Acid Oxidation in Lung Cancer Patients Induced by Sleep Loss Promotes Tumorigenesis Through Circadian Rhythm Disruption Background and Research Motivation Circadian rhythm regulation is one of the critical mechanisms for animals to maintain physiological homeostasis. However, disruptions in circadian rhythms have become a common phenomenon du...
New Scientific Discovery: The 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Regimen Improves Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Reduces Hepatocellular Carcinoma Occurrence Research Background and Problem Statement Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, with its prevalence increasing alongside rising obesity rates. N...
Disruption of Circadian Rhythm Promotes Cancer Metastasis and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Accumulation Triggered by Intestinal Microbes Academic Background and Research Motivation Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of death for most cancer patients, with colorectal cancer (CRC) drawing significant attention due to its high global incidence ...
