CD44 is a ubiquitous leukocyte adhesion molecule involved in cell-cell interaction, cell adhesion, migration, homing and differentiation. CD44 can mediate the interaction between leukemic stem cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix, thereby inducing a cascade of signaling pathways to regulate their various behaviors. In this review, we focus on the impact of CD44s/CD44v as biomarkers in leukemia development and discuss the current research and prospects for CD44-related interventions in clinical application.

Gastric cancer is an aggressive malignancy characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity arising from complex genetic and environmental interactions. This study employed single-cell RNA sequencing, using the 10 × Genomics platform, to analyze 262,532 cells from gastric cancer samples, identifying 32 distinct clusters and 10 major cell types, including immune cells (e.g.

Augmented extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is a mechanical hallmark of cancer. Mechanotransduction studies have extensively probed the mechanisms by which ECM stiffness regulates intracellular communication. However, the influence of stiffness on intercellular communication aiding tumor progression in three-dimensional microenvironments remains unknown.

Electronic address:

A gold-cerium bimetallic asteroid nanoplatform (CeO@GNSs/Myr-HA) was obtained by electrostatically adsorbing ultra-small cerium dioxide (CeO) onto gold nanostars (GNSs) and further loading myricetin (Myr) and hyaluronic acid (HA). This nanoplatform exhibited three types of enzymatic properties-that is, GOD (glucose-oxidase), POD (peroxidase) and GSH-Ox (glutathione oxidase) mimicking catalytic activities. These enzymatic properties work together to effectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells.

Lung malignancies, including cancerous lymphangitis and lymphomas, can mimic interstitial lung diseases like cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) on imaging, leading to diagnostic delays. We aimed to identify potential biomarkers to distinguish between these conditions. We analyzed bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from 8 patients (4 COP, mean age 59.
