Targeting KMT5C Suppresses Lung Cancer Progression and Enhances the Efficacy of Immunotherapy
This study reveals that KMT5C activates DNA damage repair to inhibit STING‐IRF3 pathway, downstream type I IFN signaling and CCL5 secretion, leading to the downregulation of CD8+ T cell infiltration and function in NSCLC, ultimately facilitating tumor progression.

LACK156‐173 is internalized into RA‐FLSs via CAPN2‐mediated endocytosis and inhibits the aggressive phenotype of RA‐FLSs by restoring dysregulated fatty acid synthesis metabolism mediated by overexpressed FASN. The findings suggest that targeting the restoration of fatty acid metabolism could potentially alleviate synovial invasion and joint damage in ...

Virtual Reality-Based Preoperative Planning for Optimized Trocar Placement in Thoracic Surgery: A Preliminary Study [PDF]
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach for treating early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer. Optimal trocar placement during VATS ensures comprehensive access to the thoracic cavity, provides a panoramic endoscopic view, and prevents instrument crowding. While established principles such as the Baseball Diamond Principle
