Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by systemic endothelial dysfunction. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia remains incompletely understood. This study used human venous endothelial cell (EC) transcriptional profiling to investigate potential novel mechanisms underlying EC dysfunction in preeclampsia.

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains an unmet medical challenge due to its insidious onset, atypical symptoms, and increasing resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic agents. It is imperative to explore novel biomarkers and generate innovative target drugs.
Methods: To identify potential proteins with causal association to EOC subtypes, we conducted a Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis using 15,419 protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) associated with 2015 proteins.

Background: The heterogeneity of cancer makes it challenging to predict its response to immunotherapy, highlighting the need to find reliable biomarkers for assessment. The sophisticated role of cancer stemness in mediating resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is still inadequately comprehended.
Methods: Genome-scale CRISPR screening of RNA sequencing data from Project Achilles was utilized to pinpoint crucial genes unique to Ovarian Cancer (OV).

Individuals with metabolic syndrome have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disorders that is closely tied to visceral adipose tissue dysfunction, as well as an altered interaction between adipose tissue and the cardiovascular system. In metabolic syndrome, adipose tissue dysfunction is associated with increased hypertrophy, reduced vascularization, and hypoxia of adipocytes, leading to a pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory environment. Among the pathways regulating adipose tissue homeostasis is the wingless-type mammary tumor virus integration site family (Wnt) signaling pathway, with both its canonical and non-canonical arms.

Up to 50% of individuals with uveal melanoma (UM), a frequent cancer of the eye, pass away from metastases. One of the major challenges in treating UM is the role of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), which mediate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumors. RTKs are involved in binding multiple growth factors, leading to angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry (VM) phenomena.
