GM‐CSF enhances tumor invasion by elevated MMP‐2, ‐9, and ‐26 expression
Cancer Medicine, 2013 Granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) promotes tumor progression in different tumor models in an autocrine and paracrine manner. However, at the same time GM‐CSF is used in cancer therapies to ameliorate neutropenia.

Identification of Circular RNAs Associated With Chemoresistance in Colorectal Cancer
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Chemoresistance is a major clinical obstacle for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new type of non-coding RNA that participated in the development of chemoresistance. However, the profiles and effects of circRNAs in

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.
