Leukemia covers a broad category of cancer malignancies that specifically affect bone marrow and blood cells. While different kinds of leukemia have been identified, effective treatments are still lacking for most forms, and even those treatments considered effective can lead to relapses. MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are short endogenous non-coding single-stranded RNAs that help control the epigenetics of gene expression.

Background And Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumorigenesis, drug resistance, and recurrence, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that HBV infection may be associated with liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs), but the exact mechanisms are yet to be resolved. In this study, we aimed to analyze the role of HBV infection in regulating the stemness of HCCs, which is closely linked to drug resistance.

Recently, it has been realized that immune processes participate in the pathogenesis of human cancers. A large number of genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes have been extensively examined for their roles in the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), including IL4 gene rs2070874, IL4RA gene rs1801275, IL18 gene rs187238, IL18RAP gene rs917997, IL17A gene rs8193036, IL23R gene rs1884444 and IL23R gene rs10889677. However, there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further research.

Background: Antibiotics have recently been suggested to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of frequent antibiotic use and genetic susceptibility with the increased risk of the development of colorectal cancer. Therefore, a genome-wide association study was conducted in colorectal cancer patients with frequent antibiotic use and controls to identify potential chromosomal regions that could indicate an increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with antibiotic use.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can cause liver disease and lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To better understand the factors involved in viral infection and pathogenesis and to develop novel therapies, it is crucial to investigate virus-host interactions. HBV infection has been shown to increase the expression of the unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor (URI1), a cellular protein that promotes liver tumorigenesis and HCC metastasis.
