Combination of Biological Aging and Genetic Susceptibility Helps Identifying At-Risk Population of Venous Thromboembolism: A Prospective Cohort Study of 394,041 Participants

Combining Biological Aging and Genetic Susceptibility to Identify High-Risk Populations for Venous Thromboembolism Academic Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is the third most fatal cardiovascular disease globally. The incidence of VTE is closely related to age, particularly i...

Robust Acute Myeloid Leukemia Engraftment in Humanized Scaffolds Using Injectable Biomaterials and Intravenous Xenotransplantation

Robust Engraftment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Humanized Scaffolds Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood disorder that poses significant challenges in treatment and research. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models are crucial tools for studying AML, but existing PDX models are often complex and labor-intensive, limitin...

Polymorphic Single-Nucleotide Variants in miRNA Genes and the Susceptibility to Colorectal Cancer: Combined Evaluation by Pairwise and Network Meta-Analysis, Thakkinstian's Algorithm and FPRP Criterium

Association Study of Polymorphic Single-Nucleotide Variants in miRNA Genes and Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility Academic Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies with high incidence and mortality rates worldwide. According to global cancer statistics in 2022, CRC ranks as the third most prevalent cancer, with over 1...

Predicting Outcomes in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using scRNA-seq and Bulk RNA-seq: A Model Development and Validation Study

Prognostic Prediction Model for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based on Single-Cell RNA Sequencing and Bulk RNA Sequencing Research Background Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors globally, particularly prevalent in East Asia.
