The diagnostic value of serum miR-17-92 cluster in ischemic stroke.

Introduction: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a prevalent disease that poses a significant threat to human life and is responsible for a substantial financial burden. Research has established the crucial role of the miR-17-92 cluster in lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and traumatic brain injury. Despite this, few research studies had fully detected the potential of the miR-17-92 cluster as a novel circulating marker for diagnosing IS.

Mining database for the therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers among STAT family in glioblastoma.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor with a high mortality rate. Aberrant activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) signaling results in tumor pathogenesis and progression by regulating cell cycle, cell survival and immune response.

Methods: Therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers within the STAT family in GBM were explored using web applications and databases.

Expression and clinical significance of CXC chemokines in the glioblastoma microenvironment.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common subtype of brain cancer, encompassing 16% of all primary brain cancers. The prognosis of GBM is poor, with a 5-year-survial of approximately 5%. Increasing evidence has revealed that chemokines in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are often altered, thus affecting tumor proliferation and metastasis.
