Iron-(Fe3+)-Dependent Reactivation of Telomerase Drives Colorectal Cancers

Iron-(Fe3+)-Dependent Reactivation of Telomerase Drives Colorectal Cancers

Iron (Ferric Ion, Fe3+)-Dependent Telomerase Reactivation Drives Colorectal Cancer Development I. Research Background Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally, involving both genetic and non-genetic factors in its pathogenesis. Existing research shows a significant association between high iron content, hereditary iron overl...

High-Throughput Discovery of MHC Class I- and II-Restricted T Cell Epitopes Using Synthetic Cellular Circuits

High-Throughput Discovery of MHC Class I and II Restricted T Cell Epitopes Using a Novel Synthetic Cellular Circuit Research Background and Issues In recent years, antigen discovery technologies have made remarkable progress, especially in the application of human T-cell receptors (TCRs) in the recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ...

Spatially Segregated Macrophage Populations Predict Distinct Outcomes in Colon Cancer

Spatially Segregated Macrophage Populations Predict Distinct Outcomes in Colon Cancer

Spatially Isolated Macrophage Populations Predict Different Outcomes in Colon Cancer Introduction Macrophages are sentinel immune cells in tissues, performing a variety of functions including pathogen defense, antigen presentation, phagocytosis of dead cells, and the secretion of signals that drive tissue repair. In tumors, macrophage infiltration ...

Generation of Allogeneic CAR-NKT Cells from Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Using a Clinically Guided Culture Method

Generation of Clinically Applicable CAR-NKT Cells Research Background Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of B-cell malignancies and multiple myeloma. However, the use of autologous CAR-T cell products presents challenges such as high costs, long manufacturing ...
