In the context of high-quality economic development, technological innovation has emerged as a fundamental driver of socio-economic progress. The consequent proliferation of science and technology news, which acts as a vital medium for disseminating technological advancements and policy changes, has attracted considerable attention from technology management agencies and innovation organizations. Nevertheless, online science and technology news has historically exhibited characteristics such as limited scale, disorderliness, and multi-dimensionality, which is extremely inconvenient for users of deep application.

Therefore, it is essential to depict the heterogeneous landscape of clones for understanding the cancer biology and overcoming the resistance of cancer therapy. To determine the dynamic clonal feature of OSCC, we constructed the evolutionary trajectory of tumor cells based on single-cell RNA sequencing data.

Backfilling mining is an effective means to mine strip coal pillars, which could decrease high stress and high energy release. However, materials with super-high water content were not widely applied in deeply isolated coal pillar mining due to lower strength characteristics and durability.

Cullin-RING ligase 4 (CRL4) has attracted enormous attentions because of its extensive regulatory roles in a wide variety of biological and pathological events, especially cancer-associated events. CRL4 exerts pleiotropic effects by targeting various substrates for proteasomal degradation or changes in activity through different internal compositions to regulate diverse events in cancer progression. In this review, we summarize the structure of CRL4 with manifold compositional modes and clarify the emerging functions and molecular mechanisms of CRL4 in a series of cancer-associated events.

Objective: This study aims to offer an insightful depiction and visualization of the knowledge structure, prevalent themes, and emerging trends within the domain since the year 2000, employing bibliometric analysis to achieve this goal.
Methods: To conduct this research, a comprehensive collection of literature on molecular glues was sourced from the Web of Science database.
Background: circRNAs have been shown to participate in diverse diseases; however, their role in oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), a potentially malignant disorder, remains obscure. Our preliminary experiments detected the expression of circRNA mitochondrial translation optimization 1 homologue (circMTO1) in OSF tissues (n = 20) and normal mucosa tissues (n = 20) collected from Hunan Xiangya Stomatological Hospital, and a significant decrease of circMTO1 expression was showed in OSF tissues. Therefore, we further explored circMTO1 expression in OSF.

This study aimed to evaluate the changes of hypoxia before and after CIRT in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and whether F-fluoromisonidazole (F-FMISO) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging could predict the response to CIRT in NSCLC patients.
Methods: A total of 29 patients with NSCLC who received CIRT were retrospectively included.
Background: Head and neck cancer is the 6th most common malignancy worldwide, and its incidence is still on the rise. The salvage surgery has been considered as an important treatment strategy for persistent or recurrent head and neck cancer. Therefore, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of salvage surgery for head and neck cancer since the 21st century.
