In epithelial cancers, aberrant COL17A1 promoter methylation predicts its misexpression and increased invasion [PDF]
Metastasis is a leading cause of death among cancer patients. In the tumor microenvironment, altered levels of extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagens, can facilitate the first steps of cancer cell metastasis, including invasion into surrounding

Integrated Analysis of ECT2 and COL17A1 as Potential Biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer
Background Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract. It presents with atypical clinical symptoms and lacks specific diagnostic indicators. This study is aimed at exploring the potential biomarkers of PC.

Epidermolysis Bullosa Classification and Current Approach to Diagnosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genodermatoses marked by skin fragility and bullae formation induced by minor trauma. Pathologic variants in at least 21 genes are associated with EB, grouped into four major subtypes based predominantly on the plane of cleavage within the skin.

Senescent epithelial cells remodel the tumor microenvironment and drive early LUAD progression: a multiomics risk model and single-cell analysis [PDF]
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality, and there are currently few reliable biomarkers available for accurate prognosis and effective targeted therapy. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that senescent cells play an
