Clinical Value of Pleural Effusion and Serum MMP-3 and CYFRA21-1 Combined with ADA in Differential Diagnosis of Pleural Exudative Effusion

Emergency Medicine International, 2022
Objective. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical value of matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3) and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) combined with adenosine deaminase (ADA) in pleural effusion and serum in benign and malignant

Pleural Effusions in Hematologic Malignancies

Chest, 2004
Nearly all hematologic malignancies can occasionally present with or develop pleural effusions during the clinical course of disease. Among the most common disorders are Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with a frequency of 20 to 30%, especially if mediastinal involvement is present.

Common Signatures of Altered Gene Regulation and Invasiveness of Different Breast Cancer Cell Lines after Matrix Interface Crossing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Interface transmigration reprograms triple‐negative breast cancer cells, triggering a shared switch toward more aggressive and invasive phenotypes. Using a collagen I interface model, this study identifies shared transcriptional changes involving proliferation, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair pathways.

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.
