Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response-Dependent β-Catenin Signaling Promotes Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer Academic Background Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men, second only to skin cancer. Although current treatments, such as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), can induce remission in prostate cancer, ...

Academic Background and Problem Statement Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease associated with aging and is an independent risk factor for lung cancer. Epidemiological studies indicate that 3%-22% of IPF patients develop lung cancer during follow-up, with the cumulative incidence increasing over time, makin...

Academic Background and Paper Introduction Background The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is dysregulated in various cancers, particularly in colorectal and endometrial cancers. Abnormal activation of this pathway is often associated with mutations in tumor suppressor genes such as APC, AXIN1/2, and β-catenin itself. Additionally, RNF43 and ZNRF3, ...

TFF3 Drives Hippo-Dependent EGFR-TKI Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma Academic Background Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the most common subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with frequent mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Since 2013, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as gefitinib, erlotinib, and o...

TRIB3 Promotes Multiple Myeloma Progression by Stabilizing SSRP1 via USP10-Mediated Deubiquitination Academic Background Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy globally, characterized by aggressive progression, frequent relapse, and resistance to therapy. Although current multi-drug combination therapies have signifi...

lgals9b Stabilizes eef1d Protein and Activates the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway to Promote Gastric Cancer Occurrence and Metastasis Academic Background Gastric cancer ranks as the fifth most prevalent cancer globally, with over one million new cases diagnosed annually. Due to late detection, it exhibits a high mortality rate and is the fourth leading...
