Acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), a member of the acyl-coenzyme A oxidase family, is considered a crucial regulator whose dysregulation is implicated in the occurrence and progression of various cancers. This study aims to elucidate the impact of ACOX1 in CRC, shedding light on its potential as a therapeutic target. Through analysis of the GEO dataset, it was found that ACOX1 is significantly downregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC), and this lower expression level is associated with a worse prognosis.

First-line cadonilimab plus chemotherapy in HER2-negative advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial.

Nat Med

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Holistic Integrative Management of Gastrointestinal Cancers, Beijing Key Laboratory of Carcinogenesis and Translational Research, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute, Beijing, China.

Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors plus chemotherapy have been the standard of care in the first-line treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma; however, the survival benefits are modest in patients with low programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Here we investigated the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (PD-1/cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) bispecific antibody) plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. The prespecified interim analysis is reported here.

The mechanism by which DNA-damage affects self-renewal and pluripotency remains unclear. DNA damage and repair mechanisms have been largely elucidated in mutated cancer cells or simple eukaryotes, making valid interpretations on early development difficult. Here we show the impact of ionizing irradiation on the maintenance and early differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs).

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reported multiple risk loci for schizophrenia (SCZ). However, the majority of the associations were from populations of European ancestry. Here we conducted a large-scale GWAS in Eastern Asian populations (29,519 cases and 44,392 controls) and identified ten Eastern Asian-specific risk loci, two of which have not been previously reported.

Introduction: Aggression and self-harm disproportionately occur in youths preoccupied with social status tracking. These pathological conditions are linked to a serotonin (5-HT) deficit in the brain. Ablation of 5-HT biosynthesis by tryptophan hydroxylase 2 knockout (TPH2-KO) increases aggression in rodents.

Department of Cardiology, Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Medical Center of Soochow University, Suzhou, 215000, China.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases with no effective treatment due to its complex pathogenesis. A novel cell death, disulfidptosis, has been extensively studied in the cancer field but rarely in cardiovascular diseases. This study revealed the potential relationship between disulfidptosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and put forward a predictive model containing disulfidptosis-associated genes (DRGs) of GYS1, MYH10, PDMIL1, SLC3A2, CAPZB, showing excellent performance by SVM machine learning model.
