Background: Circular (circ)RNAs have emerged as crucial contributors to cancer progression. Nonetheless, the expression regulation, biological functions, and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in mediating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remain insufficiently elucidated.
Methods: We identified circUCK2(2,3) through circRNA sequencing, RT-PCR, and Sanger sequencing.

Background: PR/SET domain 16 (PRDM16) is an important transcription factor in the differentiation process of brown adipocytes, which plays an important role in maintaining the special morphological characteristics and cellular function of brown adipocytes. However, the role of PRDM16 in human colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently unknown.
Methods: Methylation sequencing, methylation-specific PCR (MSP), multiple bioinformatics analyses, Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay and Immunofluorescence (IF) staining, in vitro and in vivo functional experiments were performed to study the biological role of PRDM16 in CRC progression.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is closely associated with the risk of breast cancer. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) are considered surrogate indicators of IR; however, their prognostic value in breast cancer patients has not been discussed. The purpose of this study is not only to explore whether the TyG index and the TyG-BMI can predict the chemotherapy response and long-term prognosis of breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) but also to investigate the possible mediating mechanism and to analyze the relationship between TyG-related enzyme expression and drug resistance and prognosis.

Background: Sampling the air in indoor congregate settings, where respiratory pathogens are ubiquitous, may constitute a valuable yet underutilised data source for community-wide surveillance of respiratory infections. However, there is a lack of research comparing air sampling and individual sampling of attendees. Therefore, it remains unclear how air sampling results should be interpreted for the purpose of surveillance.
