Comprehensively prognostic and immunological analyses of GLP-1 signaling-related genes in pan-cancer and validation in colorectal cancer.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has crucial impact on glycemic control and weight loss physiologically. GLP-1 receptor agonists have been approved for treatment of diabetes and obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert anticancer effect in tumorigenesis and development.

Adipose-derived stem cells promote glycolysis and peritoneal metastasis via TGF-β1/SMAD3/ANGPTL4 axis in colorectal cancer.

Peritoneal metastasis, the third most common metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC), has a poor prognosis for the rapid progression and limited therapeutic strategy. However, the molecular characteristics and pathogenesis of CRC peritoneal metastasis are poorly understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the action and mechanism of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), a prominent component of the peritoneal microenvironment, in CRC peritoneal metastasis formation.

A Deep Learning Application of Capsule Endoscopic Gastric Structure Recognition Based on a Transformer Model.

Background: Gastric structure recognition systems have become increasingly necessary for the accurate diagnosis of gastric lesions in capsule endoscopy. Deep learning, especially using transformer models, has shown great potential in the recognition of gastrointestinal (GI) images according to self-attention. This study aims to establish an identification model of capsule endoscopy gastric structures to improve the clinical applicability of deep learning to endoscopic image recognition.
