Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

While CAFs are produced as a result of education by cancer cells in non‐scirrhous gastric cancer, normal fibroblasts of scirrhous gastric cancer patients are already pre‐conditioned, forming a stromal field for scirrhous gastric cancer. ABSTRACT Scirrhous gastric cancer has aggressive clinical courses and is characterized by dominating cancer ...

Hepatocyte TrkB is identified as a critical gatekeeper against MASH‐related fibrosis. Mechanistically, TrkB inhibits the TGFβ/SMAD3/FOS axis to suppress CCL2 secretion, thereby blocking pathogenic macrophage recruitment and ameliorating liver fibrosis.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...
