Prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men, exhibits distinct metabolic reprogramming involving zinc and citrate metabolism. This study investigated whether targeting this unique metabolic profile could offer an effective therapeutic approach. A series of novel oxindole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on transcription factors (TFs) and antiproliferative activity across various cancer cell lines.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. To identify new targets related to the initiation of CD, we screened a pair of twins with CD, which is a rare phenomenon in the Chinese population, for genetic susceptibility factors. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of these patients revealed a mutation in their SERPINB4 gene.

Ovarian cancer is a deadly gynecological disease with frequent recurrence. Current treatments for patients include platinum-based therapy regimens with PARP inhibitors specific for HR-deficient high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOCs). Despite initial effectiveness, patients inevitably develop disease progression as tumor cells acquire resistance.

Background: Previous studies reported significant relationships between obesity and pulmonary dysfunction. Here, we investigated genetic alterations in the lung tissues of high fat diet (HFD) induced obese mouse through transcriptomic and molecular analyses.

Methods: Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed either a normal chow diet (NCD) or HFD for 12 weeks.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the top three cancers globally in both incidence and mortality, posing a significant public health challenge. Most CRC cases are diagnosed at intermediate to advanced stages, and reliable biomarkers for early detection are lacking. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in various cancers, including CRC, playing key roles in tumor development, progression, and prognosis.
