Published: January 2025

The tumor microenvironment (TME) has been linked with the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common histological subtype of pancreatic cancer. A central component of the TME are cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which can either suppress or promote tumor growth in a context-dependent manner. In this review, we will discuss the multi-faceted roles of CAFs in tumor-stroma interactions influencing cancer initiation, progression and therapeutic response.

Corn leaf blight and stem rot caused by are significant diseases that severely affect corn crops. Glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the transfer of sugar residues to diverse receptor molecules, participating in numerous biological processes and facilitating functions ranging from structural support to signal transduction. This study identified 101 genes through functional annotation of the TZ-3 genome.

Breast cancer is a significant health challenge worldwide, and disproportionately affects women of African ancestry (AA) who experience higher mortality rates relative to other racial/ethnic groups. Several studies have pointed to biological factors that affect breast cancer outcomes. A recently discovered stromal cell population that expresses P ROCR, Z EB1 and P DGFRα (PZP cells) was found to be enriched in normal healthy breast tissue from AA donors, and only in tumor adjacent tissues from donors of European ancestry (EA).

Inflammation is a complex factor in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms (IA), but its specific cellular inflammatory factors remain uncertain. We collected two cohorts and measured the representation of vascular inflammation-related proteins using the Olink CVD II Vascular Inflammation Panel. We subsequently validated our findings using ELISA and RT-qPCR.
