Sorafenib is the standard treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet resistance limits its efficacy. The Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway contributes to drug resistance by maintaining HCC stem cell characteristics, but its role at the ...
The intrinsic complexity of biological processes often hides the role of dynamic microenvironmental cues in the development of pathological states. Microphysiological systems (MPSs) are emerging technological platforms that model dynamics of tissue-...
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with therapy resistance and tumor recurrence driven by a subpopulation of cells known as cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs possess a remarkable ability to evade apoptosis, adapt to harsh micro...
BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a highly heterogeneous disease that presents challenges in predicting prognosis and treatment response. Cancer stem cells are key drivers of tumor development, progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance. Th...
Ovarian cancer is a critical health issue for women nowadays. Its impact is significant because of its high mortality rate (324,603 worldwide), late-stage diagnosis and poor survival rate. Lack of screening tests, vague symptoms, misdiagnosis, and ag...
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) poses a significant health challenge worldwide, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and the limited effectiveness of current therapies. Cancer stem cells are known to play a role in tumor development, met...
BACKGROUND: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) ranks as the foremost cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its early detection poses considerable challenges. Current prognostic indicators, including alpha-fetoprotein, have notable limitati...
BACKGROUND: The heterogeneity of cancer makes it challenging to predict its response to immunotherapy, highlighting the need to find reliable biomarkers for assessment. The sophisticated role of cancer stemness in mediating resistance to immune check...
Most patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease, which complicates treatment due to a heightened risk of metastasis. Consequently, the timely identification of biomarkers associated with lymph n...
