Metformin, as a first-line drug in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has been proved to be safe and effective. In recent years, epidemiological studies have found that metformin can inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of lung cancer cells, and is expected to become a new anti-lung cancer drug. Lung cancer is a disease that seriously endangers human health, its morbidity and mortality have been ranked first among all malignant tumors, and the prognosis is poor. In recent years, a great deal of evidence shows that metformin can reduce the risk and mortality of tumors such as lung cancer. Its mechanisms mainly include activating adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase pathway, improving hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, promoting lung cancer cell apoptosis and inhibiting related inflammatory response. The aim of this article is to reviews the study of metformin on lung cancer.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the world, and early detection of lung cancer remains a challenge. The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) from lung and trachea can be collected totally noninvasively. In this study, our aim is to identify differential metabolites between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and control EBC samples and discriminate NSCLC group from control group by orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models.

A previous study classifies solid tumors based on collagen deposition and immune infiltration abundance, identifying a refractory subtype termed armored & cold tumors, characterized by elevated collagen deposition and diminished immune infiltration. Beyond its impact on immune infiltration, collagen deposition also influences tumor angiogenesis. This study systematically analyzes the association between immuno-collagenic subtypes and angiogenesis across diverse cancer types.

Breath analysis is increasingly recognized as a powerful noninvasive diagnostic technique, and a plethora of exhaled volatile biomarkers have been associated with various diseases. However, traditional analytical methodologies are not amenable to high-throughput diagnostic applications at the point of need. An optical spectroscopic technique, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), mostly used in the research setting for liquid sample analysis, has recently been applied to breath-based diagnostics.

The increasing shift from cannabis smoking to cannabis vaping is largely driven by the perception that vaping to form an aerosol represents a safer alternative to smoking and is a form of consumption appealing to youth. Herein, we compared the chemical composition and receptor-mediated activity of cannabis smoke extract (CaSE) to cannabis vaping extract (CaVE) along with the biological response in human bronchial epithelial cells. Chemical analysis using HPLC and GC/MS revealed that cannabis vaping aerosol contained fewer toxicants than smoke; CaSE and CaVE contained teratogens, carcinogens, and respiratory toxicants.
