Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant neoplasm characterized by a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic strategy. The PDAC tumor microenvironment presents a complex heterogeneity, where neutrophils emerge as the predominant constituents of the innate immune cell population. Leveraging the power of single-cell RNA-seq, spatial RNA-seq, and multi-omics approaches, we included both published datasets and our in-house patient cohorts, elucidating the inherent heterogeneity in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and revealed the correlation between NETs and immune suppression. Meanwhile, we constructed a multi-omics prognostic model that suggested the patients exhibiting downregulated expression of NETs may have an unfavorable outcome. We also confirmed TLR2 as a potent prognosis factor and patients with low TLR2 expression had more effective T cells and an overall survival extension for 6 months. Targeting TLR2 might be a promising strategy to reverse immunosuppression and control tumor progression for an improved prognosis.

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in refining the application of multi-omics and spatial multi-omics within the realm of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) research. We scrutinized the current landscape of multi-omics and spatial multi-omics technologies, accentuating their combined potential with AI to provide unparalleled insights into the molecular intricacies and spatial heterogeneity inherent to DLBCL. Despite current progress, we acknowledge the hurdles that impede the full utilization of these technologies, such as the integration and sophisticated analysis of complex datasets, the necessity for standardized protocols, the reproducibility of findings, and the interpretation of their biological significance.

Background: Considering that the treatment of gout is poor, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to identify candidate biomarkers and therapeutic targets for gout.

Methods: A drug-targeted MR study was performed for gout by integrating the gout genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary data and cis expression quantitative trait loci of 2,633 druggable genes from multiple cohorts. Summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analyses based on transcript and protein levels were further implemented to validate the reliability of the identified potential therapeutic targets for gout.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication and repetitive activities. Gut microbiota significantly influences behavior and neurodevelopment by regulating the gut-brain axis. This review explores gut microbiota-influenced treatments for ASD, focusing on their therapeutic applications and mechanistic insights.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal and common form of pancreatic cancer, it has no specific symptoms, and most of the patients are diagnosed when the disease is already at an advanced stage. Chemotherapy typically has only a modest effect, making surgery the most effective treatment option. However, only a small percentage of patients are amenable to surgery.

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has emerged as a fundamental component of the standard treatment regimen for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, accurately predicting the treatment effectiveness of ICIs for patients at the same TNM stage remains a challenge. In this study, we first combined multi-omics data (mRNA, lncRNA, miRNA, DNA methylation, and somatic mutations) and 10 clustering algorithms, successfully identifying two distinct cancer subtypes (CSs) (CS1 and CS2).
