Matrix stiffness is a defining feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and drives malignant progression through mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Using an ensemble machine learning approach, we integrated multiomics data from 886 p...
Cytotoxic T cells (CD8) play a pivotal role in immunosurveillance by identifying and eliminating tumor cells. However, the onset of CD8 T cell exhaustion, characterized by overexpression of immune checkpoint receptors, impairs their function, allowin...
Neurological impairments resulting from bilirubin encephalopathy represent a hallmark of bilirubin's neurotoxic effects. Earlier research suggests that bilirubin may contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology by inducing neuronal necrosis and a...
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, the pronounced heterogeneity of the tumor immune microenvironment significantly hinders the prediction of therapeutic efficacy, with effectiv...
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advancements in treatment, prognosis for patients with advanced stages remains poor. Metabolic reprogramming in the tumor microenvironment, particularly...
The ongoing evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants highlights the importance of monitoring immune responses to guide vaccination strategies. Although neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) have garnered increasing ...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality among people with HIV (PWH), with increased incidence and poor outcomes. This study explored whether the tumor microenvironment (TME) of HIV-associated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) limits tum...
INTRODUCTION: Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer worldwide, often shows limited responsiveness to immunotherapy due to its predominantly immune-excluded phenotype. Despite increasing insights into the complex tumor microenvironment...
