Background: The intricate interplay between the immune system and tumor plays a pivotal role in thyroid cancer (TC) pathogenesis, potentially influencing both the causation and therapeutic outcomes. Despite extensive research, existing literature offers ambiguous insights regarding the association between immune cell traits and thyroid cancer progression.
Methods: To elucidate the potential causal relationships, we conducted an integrated two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is primarily treated with surgery. Targeted therapy is a promising approach to help reduce the high rate of recurrence. This study aims to identify the potential target genes and explore the candidate drugs acting on them effectively with computational methods.

This study is aimed at identifying the potential target genes and candidate drugs for drug-resistant melanoma effectively with computational methods.

Shinya Yamanaka first discovered a method to convert somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells in 2006. Stem cell therapy can be summarized into three aspects (regenerative treatment, therapy targeted at stem cells, and establishment of disease models).
