Due Diligence Regulation and Sustainability Governance in Value Chains: Lessons From the South African Wine Sector

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent raft of due diligence regulation (DDR) addressing social and environmental conditions in global value chains (GVCs) has spread across the UK and Europe. An emerging literature on DDR highlights the politics of its formation. Yet, we know little about how existing sustainability governance along GVCs interacts with DDR or the wider ...

Identification of Crucial Drug Targets and Pathways to Reprogram Drug Resistance Through Epigenetic Modulation in Advanced Lung Cancer Using Integrated Bioinformatics Approach

Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Resistance to chemotherapy, which is demonstrated in almost every patient with advanced‐stage lung cancer (ALC), underscores an urgent need to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel strategies to overcome drug resistance. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify epigenetic targets and modulators that can be

A combination of PD-1 and TIGIT immune checkpoint inhibitors elicits a strong anti-tumour response in mesothelioma

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research
Background Finding effective and curative treatment for mesothelioma remains challenging. While the introduction of immunotherapy combinations using ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) and nivolumab (anti-PD-1) have offered hope for some patients, a large ...

Cancer pattern in Bhutan (2014–2022): Findings from population‐based cancer registry—A pathway to monitor cancer control activities

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 11, Page 2829-2840, 1 June 2026.
What's new? The establishment in 2014 of the population‐based cancer registry (PBCR) of Bhutan created new opportunities for understanding national cancer trends, which previously were anticipated from data in neighbouring countries. This study presents the first nine‐year summary of cancer patterns in Bhutan, derived from PBCR data. From 2014 to 2022,

Integrating polygenic and methylation risk scores for pleural mesothelioma risk stratification

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 11, Page 2866-2879, 1 June 2026.
What's new? Asbestos exposure is a major risk factor for pleural mesothelioma (PM). Most asbestos‐exposed individuals do not develop PM, suggesting that it arises from a complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. This study examined the utility of polygenic risk scores (PRS) and methylation risk scores (MRS) in incorporating genetic ...
