Article Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked as the third most common cancer and second deadliest cancer in both men and women in the world. Currently, the cure rate and 5-year survival rate of CRC patients remain relatively low. Therefore, discovering a novel molecular biomarker that can be used to improve CRC screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment would be beneficial. Long non-coding RNA colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT 1) has been found overexpressed in CRC and is associated with CRC tumorigenesis and treatment outcome. CCAT 1 has a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, it is readily detected in CRC tissues and is significantly overexpressed in both premalignant and malignant CRC tissues. Besides, CCAT 1 is associated with clinical manifestation and advanced features of CRC, such as lymph node metastasis, high tumor node metastasis stage, differentiation, invasion, and distant metastasis. In addition, they can upregulate oncogenic c-MYC and negatively modulate microRNAs different mechanisms of action. Furthermore, dysregulated CCAT 1 also enhances the chemoresistance in CRC cells while downregulation of them reverses the malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. In brief, CCAT 1 serves as a potential screening, diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in CRC, it also serves as a potential therapeutic marker to treat CRC patients.

The initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) are intimately associated with genetic, environmental and biological factors. (DSV), a sulfate-reducing bacterium, has been found excessive growth in CRC patients, suggesting a potential role in carcinogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this association remain incompletely understood.

Background: Nearly a billion people worldwide risk Financial Catastrophe (FC) due to Out-of-Pocket (OOP) health expenditures. With Low-and-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) disproportionately impacted, and the global burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) expected to increase 60 % by 2030, Nigeria is of interest. This study aims to evaluate the cost of treating CRC at Nigeria's first private cancer center.

Neural diversity can expand the encoding capacity of a circuitry. A striking example of diverse structure and function is presented by the afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the cochlea. Presynaptic active zones at the pillar IHC side activate at lower IHC potentials than those of the modiolar side that have more presynaptic Ca channels.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are known to self-assemble into a left-handed chiral nematic lyotropic liquid crystalline phase in water. When captured in the solid state, this structure can impart films with photonic properties that make them promising candidates in photonics, sensing, security, and other areas. Unfortunately, the intrinsic hydrophilicity of CNCs renders these iridescent films susceptible to moisture, thereby limiting their practicality.

Increasing long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to participate in regulating the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC), which is a common gastrointestinal malignancy. Here, the specific role and mechanisms of lncRNA LINC00294 were investigated in CRC. The expression levels of LINC00294, miR-499a-5p, and La-related protein 4B (LARP4B) in CRC cells (HCT116 and SW620) and tissues were assessed by RT-qPCR.
