Artificial Intelligence in Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Academic Background Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed molecular information about living tissues. CEST MRI works by selectively saturating exchangeable protons of specific metabolites and transferring this saturation to water molecules, ...

Targeting ADAR1 with a Small Molecule for the Treatment of Prostate Cancer

Academic Background Prostate cancer (PCA) is one of the most common malignancies in men, particularly in Western countries, where it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among males. Although androgen signaling therapy is effective in the initial treatment of prostate cancer, most patients eventually relapse, and there is currently ...

Microbiome Dysbiosis, Neutrophil Recruitment and Mesenchymal Transition of Mesothelial Cells Promotes Peritoneal Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

Background Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates. According to statistics, approximately 1.87 million new cases of CRC were diagnosed globally in 2020, resulting in 915,000 deaths. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is a common metastatic pathway of CRC, with about ...

Neutrophils Physically Interact with Tumor Cells to Form a Signaling Niche Promoting Breast Cancer Aggressiveness

Academic Background Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide, with a complex pathogenesis involving interactions among multiple cell types and signaling pathways. In recent years, the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer progression has gradually gained attention. Neutrophils, as an essential comp...

MediVision: Empowering Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis and Tumor Localization through Supervised Learning Classifications and Grad-CAM Visualization of Medical Colonoscopy Images

Academic Background Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, particularly among individuals over the age of 50. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for improving patient survival rates. However, traditional CRC screening methods, such as colonoscopy, rely heavily on the experience and visual judgment of ph...

Odronextamab Monotherapy in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma: Primary Efficacy and Safety Analysis in Phase 2 ELM-2 Trial

Academic Background Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), accounting for approximately 30% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Although first-line immunochemotherapy (e.g., R-CHOP regimen) has shown efficacy in DLBCL patients, about 30% of patients relapse or become refractory (relapsed/refrac...
