    SNP rs615552 and lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 influence brain cancer pathogenesis through multi-omic mechanisms

    Multi-omics colocalization analysis reveals key genetic variants in brain cancer

    eQTL analysis indicates that CDKN2A, CDKN2B, and CDKN2B-AS1 co-locate with brain cancer(Fig. 1A, B, C). In the BrainMeta_cis_eQTL dataset, rs615552_AL359922.1 shows…

    CD142-positive synovial fibroblasts drive meniscus destruction in rheumatoid arthritis

    Human subjects research

    This study does not involve sex-based analysis, and sex was not considered in the study design, since RA involves both. Therefore, for human participants, both male and female patients were included. All patients included…

  • The value of prealbumin in predicting post hepatectomy liver failure for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing major hepatectomy

    The value of prealbumin in predicting post hepatectomy liver failure for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing major hepatectomy

    This study aims to explore the value of prealbumin and its comprehensive indicator, the prealbumin-Bilirubin (preALBI) score, in predicting PHLF. A total of 466 patients were included in the study and divided into two groups based on the cut-off…

  • Agent-based simulation of cortical microtubule band movement in arabidopsis zygotes

    Agent-based simulation of cortical microtubule band movement in arabidopsis zygotes

    The CMT band moves upward with a speed of 1.5 ± 1.2 μm/hour and a width of 5.2 ± 2.4 μm

    To determine the mechanism by which the CMT band moves to maintain its position as the zygote expands, we first quantified the width and movement…
