INTRODUCTION: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide [19]. Opioid growth factor (OGF) has been shown to exhibit antitumour potential, binding to OGF receptor (OGFr...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most prevalent malignant brain tumor, with an average survival time of 14 to 20 months. Its capacity to invade brain parenchyma leads to the failure of conventional treatments and subsequent tumor recurrence. Rece...
BACKGROUND: Propolis is a natural substance produced by honeybees that has various biological properties including, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Although previous studies have evaluated the antimicrobial effects of pro...
The motility of macrophages in response to microenvironment stimuli is a hallmark of innate immunity, where macrophages play pro-inflammatory or pro-reparatory roles depending on their activation status during wound healing. Cell size and shape have ...

As a treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which is common and fatal, mitophagy is a conserved cellular mechanism that selectively removes damaged mitochondria and is crucial for cellular homeostasis. While tumor development and re...
OBJECTIVE: The evaluation of the efficacy of immunotherapy is of great value for the clinical treatment of bladder cancer. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), pathway analysis and multi-omics analysis have shown great potential in the field of cancer diagn...
Despite the widespread popularity of the "scratch assay," where a pipette is dragged manually through cultured tissue to create a gap to study cell migration and healing, it carries significant drawbacks. Its heavy reliance on manual technique can co...

Due to considerable tumour heterogeneity, stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) has a poor prognosis and varies in response to treatment, making it one of the main causes of cancer-related mortality globally. Recent data point to a significant role for metab...
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy in women. Potential therapeutic targets for BC are of great significance. In our previous study, we found that prenylated rab acceptor 1 domain family member 2 (PRAF2) is an oncogene in ...
