Super enhancers are a unique class of enhancers that possess a distinct structure and mechanism, which enable them to exhibit stronger gene transcription regulatory function than classical enhancers, thereby regulating cellular activities. In tumor samples, super enhancers have been identified as crucial players in the development and progression of tumor cells, opening up new avenues for cancer research and treatment. This review provides a concise overview of various models regarding super enhancer assembly and activation, examining the mechanisms through which tumor cells acquire or activate these enhancers and regulate carcinogenic transcription programs.

Endocrine therapies targeting estrogen are the first line therapies for ER+ breast cancer. However, resistance to these therapies occurs in about half of patients, leading to decreased survival rates.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered the next promising generation of power devices for vehicles. The microporous layer (MPL) improves the performance through effective water management. In this study, local hydrophilic networks of nano- and macropores are formed in different MPLs.

We aimed to assess the surgical and prognostic outcomes based on the extent of mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND) for resectable clinical stage IA NSCLC.
Methods: From 2016 to 2018, 1,166 patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy with complete mediastinal lymph node dissection (C-MLND) or selective mediastinal lymph node dissection (S-MLND) at five hospitals were enrolled.
