Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most malignant subtype of breast cancer, and it is associated with a high recurrence rate, metastatic potential, and poor prognosis. Thus, effective therapeutic strategies for TNBC are urgently required. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is considered to be a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.

Colorectal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, and the discovery of new diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets is vital. Interleukin-36α (IL-36α) is a proinflammatory factor that can initiate the inflammatory response and promote the systemic T helper-1 (Th1) immune response. In this study, we investigated the immunological role of IL-36α in CRC.

Favism is an acute hemolytic syndrome caused by the ingestion of fava bean (FB) in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient individuals. However, little is known about the global transcripts alteration in liver tissue after FB ingestion in G6PD-normal and -deficient states. In this study, deep sequencing was used to analyze liver genes expression alterations underlying the effects of FB in C3H (Wild Type, WT) and G6PD-deficient (G6PDx) mice and to evaluate and visualize the collective annotation of a list of genes to Gene Ontology (GO) terms associated with favism.
