Integrated Electrophysiological and Genomic Profiles of Single Cells Reveal Spiking Tumor Cells in Human Glioma

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-Tissue Human Fibroblast Atlas Reveals Myofibroblast Subtypes with Distinct Roles in Immune Modulation

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 (...

Fibrotic Response to Anti-CSF-1R Therapy Potentiates Glioblastoma Recurrence

Fibrotic Response to Anti-CSF-1R Therapy Potentiates Glioblastoma Recurrence

Fibrotic Response Induced by Anti-CSF-1R Treatment Promotes Glioblastoma Recurrence Background Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and malignant primary tumor of the central nervous system. Although current standard treatments include surgical resection, Temozolomide chemotherapy, and fractionated radiotherapy, the median surviva...

Fusobacterium nucleatum Facilitates Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer

Fusobacterium nucleatum Promotes Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Microsatellite-Stable Colorectal Cancer Background Introduction With the rise of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, a new dawn has emerged in cancer treatment. However, despite the approval of PD-1 targeting drugs (e.g., Pembrolizumab) for certain types of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients...

A Prospective Study of Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The Keystone-001 Trial

Background and Research Motivation Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive cancer, especially in locally advanced stages. Traditional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) is the standard treatment method for this type of cancer. Despite its significant therapeutic effects, local recurrence and distant metastasis rates remai...
