A novel copper-dependent mode of death, cuproptosis, has been newly identified. This study developed a cuproptosis score (CS) based on the cuproptosis model to analyse the association of CS with prognosis, immune cell infiltration, drug sensitivity and immunotherapy response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. A typing model of cuproptosis was constructed based on the expression of 19 cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs).

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequently occurring tumors worldwide. Herein, we established a microRNA (miRNA) predicting signature to assess the prognosis of papillary-type RCC (PRCC) patients. miR-1293, miR-34a, miR-551b, miR-937, miR-299, and miR-3199-2 were used in building the overall survival (OS)-related signature, whereas miR-7156, miR-211, and miR-301b were used to construct the formula of recurrence-free survival (RFS) with the help of LASSO Cox regression analysis.
