This study intended to determine the molecular subtypes of liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) on the strength of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) and to assess their prognostic value and prospective relationship with immune cell infiltration and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Univariate Cox regression analysis yielded 66 prognosis-related ARGs and classified LIHC into two distinct subtypes, with subtype A demonstrating overexpression of most prognosis-related ARGs and a significant survival disadvantage. Furthermore, a reliable prediction model was developed using ARGs to evaluate the risk of LIHC patients. This model served as an independent prognostic indicator and a quantitative tool for clinical prognostic prediction. Additionally, subtype-specific differences in immune cell infiltration were observed, and the risk score was potentially linked to immune-related characteristics. Moreover, the study identified a significant association between CAF score and LIHC prognosis, with a low CAF score indicating a favorable patient prognosis. In conclusion, this study reveals the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of LIHC and identifies potential therapeutic targets for the disease.

Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most dangerous diseases of the cardiovascular system, which is characterized by acute onset and poor prognosis, while the pathogenesis of AD is still unclear and may affect or even delay the diagnosis of AD. Anchorage-dependent cell death (Anoikis) is a special mode of cell death, which is programmed cell death caused by normal cells after detachment from extracellular matrix (ECM) and has been widely studied in the field of oncology in recent years. In this study, we applied bioinformatics analysis, according to the results of research analysis and Gene Ontology (GO), as well as Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), finally found 3 anoikis-related genes (ARGs) based on machine learning.

There is growing evidence that programmed cell death plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Anoikis is a newly discovered type of programmed death and has garnered great attention. However, the precise involvement of Anoikis in the progression of CTEPH remains poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of cancer that arises from the nasopharyngeal mucosa, and resistance to a form of cell death called anoikis can increase cancer spread.
- Researchers studied genes related to anoikis (ARGs) in NPC using a dataset and found 77 genes that were expressed differently in NPC tissues, indicating their importance in cancer development.
- Key genes identified, including MYC, FN1, BRCA1, and FGF2, were found to be involved in critical cancer pathways and displayed correlations with immune cell types, suggesting these ARGs could be potential targets for treatment in NPC.

Background: Anoikis, a unique form of cell death, serves as a vital part of the organism's defense by preventing shedding cells from re-attaching to the incorrect positions, and plays pivotal role in cancer metastasis. Nonetheless, the specific mechanisms among anoikis, the clinical prognosis and tumor microenvironment (TME) of bladder cancer (BLCA) are insufficiently understood.
Method: BLCA patients were classified into different anoikis subtypes based on the expression of candidate anoikis-related genes (ARGs), and differences in the clinicopathological features, TME, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoints between two anoikis subtypes were analyzed.

Background: Anoikis disrupts the normal apoptotic process in cells, leading to abnormal proliferation and migration, thereby promoting tumor formation and development. However, the role of anoikis in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) still requires further exploration.
Methods: Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) were retrieved from the GeneCards and Harmonizome databases to distinguish various subtypes of BLCA and develop a predictive model for BLCA.
