Establishment and validation of a novel risk model based on CD8T cell marker genes to predict prognosis in thyroid cancer by integrated analysis of single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a histological type of thyroid cancer, and CD8T is important for the immune response. The single-cell RNA data were acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus. SingleR package was used for cluster identification, and CellChat was exploited to evaluate the interaction among several cell types.

Identification and evaluation of cruciferous plant volatiles attractive to Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae).

Background: The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, has developed resistance to almost all insecticides used for its control. The 'push-pull' method has been shown as an effective control strategy to address this resistance challenge of P. xylostella.

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression and prognosis in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an important member of the matrix metalloproteinase family and is considered to be involved in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Many studies were published to assess the prognostic role of MMP-9 overexpression in patients with colorectal cancer, but the findings from those studies were inconsistent. We searched eligible studies in Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases.
