Deep neural network provides personalized treatment recommendations for metastatic breast cancer patients.

It has long been controversial whether surgery should be performed for metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC). The choice and timing of the primary tumor resection for dnMBC patients need to be individualized, but there was no tool to assist clinicians in decision-making. A 1:1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to examine the prognosis of dnMBC patients who underwent neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by surgery (NS), surgery followed by chemotherapy (SC), and chemotherapy without surgery (CW).

A Targeted Octahedral DNA Nanostructure Co-delivers siME3 and Doxorubicin to Enhance Collateral Lethality in ME2-Deficient Pancreatic Cancer.

The genetic characteristics of pancreatic cancer (PC) are being revealed, but treatment strategies based on these profiles are developing slowly. About one-third of PC patients harbor mutations, with its homozygous deletions often accompanied by deletions of the malic enzyme 2 (ME2) gene, leading to upregulation of malic enzyme 3 (ME3) to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS). We designed an aptamer-modified octahedral DNA nanostructure for targeted co-delivery of siRNA targeting ME3 (siME3) and doxorubicin (DOX).

Multi-omics analysis elucidates the relationship between intratumor microbiome and host immune heterogeneity in breast cancer.

Research has indicated that intratumor microbiomes affect the occurrence, progression, and therapeutic response in many cancer types by influencing the immune system. We aim to evaluate the characteristics of immune-related intratumor microbiomes (IRIMs) in breast cancer (BC) and search for potential prognosis prediction factors and treatment targets. The clinical information, microbiome data, transcriptomics data of The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma (TCGA-BRCA) patients were obtained from Kraken-TCGA-Raw-Data and TCGA portal.

Disruption of Super-Enhancers in Activated Pancreatic Stellate Cells Facilitates Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy in Pancreatic Cancer.

One major obstacle in the drug treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is its highly fibrotic tumor microenvironment, which is replete with activated pancreatic stellate cells (a-PSCs). These a-PSCs generate abundant extracellular matrix and secrete various cytokines to form biophysical and biochemical barriers, impeding drug access to tumor tissues. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a strategy for reversing PSC activation and thereby removing the barriers to facilitate PDAC drug treatment.

Study on Potato Bud Cultivation Techniques in a Greenhouse in Spring.

The species degeneration caused by traditional potato cultivation methods is becoming increasingly evident, and it is particularly important to study new potato cultivation methods. Sprout planting technology has the advantages of large reproductive capacity, fast growth speed, and simplified maintenance of cultivated crops.
