BACKGROUND: TNM staging is the main reference standard for prognostic prediction of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the prognosis heterogeneity of patients with the same stage is still large. This study aimed to classify the tumor microenvironment of pa...
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have indicated that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a crucial role in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there are still many unknowns regarding the exact role of CAF subtypes in CRC.
OBJECTIVE: Significant advancements have been made in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapeutics, such as immunotherapy for treating patients with HCC. However, there is a lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting the response of patients to therap...

Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma, has the high heterogeneity of a highly complex tumor microenvironment. Existing clinical intervention strategies, such as target therapy and immunotherapy, have fail...
Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) has greatly improved the survival of cancer patients in the past few years, but only a small number of patients respond to ICT. To predict ICT response, we developed a multi-modal feature fusion model based on deep lea...

Exhausted T cells are a key component of immune cells that play a crucial role in the immune response against cancer and influence the efficacy of immunotherapy. Accurate assessment and measurement of T-cell exhaustion (TEX) are critical for understa...
Patient-derived organoids have proven to be a highly relevant model for evaluating of disease mechanisms and drug efficacies, as they closely recapitulate in vivo physiology. Colorectal cancer organoids, specifically, exhibit a diverse range of morph...
