INTRODUCTION: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are potent and precise therapies for various cancer types, significantly improving survival rates in patients who respond positively to them. However, only a minority of patients benefit from ICI trea...
INTRODUCTION: Abusing antibiotic residues in the natural environment has become a severe public health and ecological environmental problem. The side effects of its biochemical and physiological consequences are severe. To avoid antibiotic contaminat...
INTRODUCTION: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are valuable alternatives to traditional antibiotics, possess a variety of potent biological activities and exhibit immunomodulatory effects that alleviate difficult-to-treat infections. Clarifying the stru...
INTRODUCTION: Small-molecule Programmable Cell Death Protein 1/Programmable Death-Ligand 1 (PD1/PDL1) inhibition via PDL1 dimerization has the potential to lead to inexpensive drugs with better cancer patient outcomes and milder side effects. However...
INTRODUCTION: Combination immunotherapy holds promise for improving survival in responsive glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in immune microenvironment (IME) is the most important predictive biomarker for immun...
INTRODUCTION: Synthetic lethality (SL) provides an opportunity to leverage different genetic interactions when designing synergistic combination therapies. To further explore SL-based combination therapies for cancer treatment, it is important to ide...
INTRODUCTION: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The gut microbiome, the serum metabolome, and the serum lipidome have been identified as key environmental factors contributing to the pathophy...
INTRODUCTION: Accurate identification of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in primary care and rural areas can be a challenging task. However, recent advancements in computer vision offer the potential for automated systems to detect PAH from ech...
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography (US) features of papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) are used to select nodules for biopsy due to their association with tumor behavior. However, the molecular biological mechanisms that lead to the characteristic US featur...
BACKGROUND: Autophagy refers to the conserved cellular catabolic process relevant to lysosome activity and plays a vital role in maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of intracellular matter by degrading harmful and abnormally accumulated cellular comp...
