Identification of GPR35-associated metabolic characteristics through LC-MS/MS-based metabolomics and lipidomics

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) has gained increasing attention as a promising target in treating inflammatory and gastrointestinal tract conditions, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Metabolites including kynurenic acid, lysophosphatidic acids, chemokine 17, and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid have been suggested to be endogenous ligands of GPR35. However, […]

Sesquiterpenoids from the sunflower family as potential anti-inflammatory candidates

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal.  Inflammation is an essential part of the immune response to injury and infection. Emerging evidence indicates that long-term low-grade inflammation is positively correlated with many diseases, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Due to common anti-inflammatory drugs are suitable for treating acute inflammation and […]

Baseline differences in metabolic profiles of patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma responding or not responding to treatment with nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel)

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a preparation widely used in chemotherapy for cancers. However, only some patients benefit from this treatment. Therefore, identifying which patients will respond to nab-paclitaxel therapy is crucial. A cohort of 32 patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) treated with nab-paclitaxel […]

Cuproptosis-related MTF1 inhibits kidney renal clear cell carcinoma progression by suppressing proliferation and regulating immune cell infiltration

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal.  Cuproptosis is a newly identified specific form of programmed cell death. This study aims to identify cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) from the Cancer Genome Atlas database and to evaluate CRG biological functions. Using lasso regression, four KIRC prognosis-associated […]

Aging and cancer hallmarks as therapeutic targets

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal.  The prevalence of age-related diseases has been progressively increasing worldwide. The pathogenesis of these disorders, including cancer, is closely associated with an age-dependent decline in cellular functions. There are multiple layers of crosstalk between aging processes and oncogenesis. Therefore, a better understanding of the interplay between […]

Emerging role of HJURP as a therapeutic target in cancers

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Holliday junction recognition protein (HJURP) is a key molecular chaperone for centromere protein A (CENP-A), which is essential for chromosome separation during mitosis and cell cycle regulation. Recent studies have identified the essential role of HJURP in carcinogenesis. Abnormal upregulation of HJURP expression has been observed […]
