Integration of single cell and bulk transcriptomic analyses identifies FAM189A2 as a key prognostic gene in lung cancer. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Integrating single-cell and bulk transcriptomes links malignant epithelial state programs to prognosis, yields a practical eight-gene risk model validated in multiple LUAD cohorts, and nominates FAM189A2 as a putative tumor suppressor and potential biomarker in lung cancer. These findings suggest testable strategies for risk stratification and therapy selection that warrant prospective evaluation.

Proteomic profiling reveals the molecular signatures of chemotherapy-induced human ovarian damage. (PubMed, Hum Reprod)
These findings provide evidence that chemotherapy significantly alters both the ovarian germ cells and stroma, emphasizing the need to further investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms and their impact on ovarian function and fertility preservation. They also suggest target proteins which may drive these chemotherapy-associated ovarian damage for future investigations.

Development of a ferroptosis-related signature and identification of NOTCH2 as a novel prognostic biomarker in pancreatic cancer. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Our study establishes a ferroptosis-related signature for prognostic prediction in pancreatic cancer and identifies NOTCH2 as a critical prognostic biomarker. NOTCH2 may promote pancreatic cancer progression by suppressing ferroptosis, highlighting it as a potential therapeutic target.

Antibacterial, Photoprotective, Anti-Inflammatory, and Selected Anticancer Properties of Honokiol Extracted from Plants of the Genus Magnolia and Used in the Treatment of Dermatological Problems-A Review. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
It acts as an inhibitor of the oncogenic protein KRT18 in melanoma and prevents the progression of highly metastatic melanoma. Future research should explore the signalling pathways and molecular mechanisms of honokiol action and its synergistic effects at the cellular level and help to develop methods for delivering honokiol to the organism by nanocarriers to improve selective therapies in some diseases.

A Novel Primary Cell Line Model of Localized Prostate Cancer and Radioresistance-A Role for Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase. (PubMed, Cells)
Our research provides a paired primary model of treatment-naïve and radioresistant disease to address mechanisms of therapy resistance, while expanding the repertoire of localized prostate cancer cell lines for the research community. In addition, our findings present NNMT as a potential therapeutic target for sensitization of radioresistant disease.
