Cholesterol Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Brain Metastasis by Stabilizing EGFR Protein to Drive EMT, Metabolic Reprogramming, and Premetastatic Niche Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cholesterol is revealed as a multitasking fuel for lung adenocarcinoma brain metastasis: it locks EGFR at the membrane to sustain AKT/NF‐κB–driven glycolysis and EMT, loosens the blood–brain barrier by promoting Claudin‐5 loss, and rewires microglia through IL‐4R lipid‐raft–JAK1/STAT6 signaling.

Potential Biases in Estimating Absolute and Relative Case-Fatality Risks during Outbreaks.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Estimating the case-fatality risk (CFR)-the probability that a person dies from an infection given that they are a case-is a high priority in epidemiologic investigation of newly emerging infectious diseases and sometimes in new outbreaks of known ...

The Influence of Surgeons' Gender on Surgical Outcomes in Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy: A Japanese Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study analyzed 58 503 laparoscopic right hemicolectomies for colon cancer in Japan between 2018 and 2022, comparing outcomes between male and female surgeons. No significant differences were found in surgical mortality or severe complications. Tailored surgical training programs for female surgeons may further enhance surgical outcomes.

Prognostic Impact of Histologic Subtypes in Mismatch Repair‐Deficient/Microsatellite Instability‐High Colorectal Cancer: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study of 1127 Stage 0–IV Patients

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability‐High (dMMR/MSI‐H) colorectal cancer (CRC) generally confers a favorable survival yet is paradoxically enriched for poorly differentiated (Por) histology, which is linked to aggressive behavior.

What to Make and How to Make It: Combining Machine Learning and Statistical Learning to Design New Materials

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Combining machine learning and probabilistic statistical learning is a powerful way to discover and design new materials. A variety of machine learning approaches can be used to identify promising candidates for target applications, and causal inference can help identify potential ways to make them a reality.
