Article Synopsis
  • Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine tumor, and the rise in its incidence may be linked to cathepsins, which are proteins thought to influence tumor progression.
  • A study used Mendelian randomization to analyze data on cathepsins and PTC, finding a significant association with cathepsin Z (CTSZ) increasing the risk of PTC, while reverse causality was not supported.
  • The results suggest that CTSZ could be a potential marker for predicting and diagnosing PTC early, and may inform future therapeutic approaches targeting this protein.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly heterogeneous tumor. Commonly used tumor staging don't sufficiently and accurately assess the prognosis of HNSCC patients, resulting in a lack of guidance for clinical treatment decisions. M2 macrophage infiltration has been shown to be strongly associated with the tumor prognosis.

Background: Platelet-derived growth factor A (PDGFA) has been shown to be upregulated in several tumors, contributing to their malignant phenotypes. However, its expression and function in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) are not clearly understood. Thus, we aimed to evaluate this issue using bioinformatic analyses and primary experimental validation.

Objective: Angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) play a critical role in cancer patient survival. However, there are insufficient reports on the prognostic value of AAGs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between AAG expression levels and survival in HNSC patients, explore the predictive value of signature genes and lay the groundwork for future in-depth research.

Background: Betel nut chewing is a significant risk factor for oral cancer due to arecoline, its primary active component. Resveratrol, a non-flavonoid polyphenol, possesses anti-cancer properties. It has been shown to inhibit arecoline-induced oral malignant cells in preliminary experiments but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Barley is one of the world's earliest domesticated crops, which is widely used for beer production, animal feeding, and health care. Barley seed germination, particularly in increasingly saline soils, is key to ensure the safety of crop production. However, the mechanism of salt-affected seed germination in barley remains elusive.
