Metabolomic profiling provides real-time insights into tissue physiology and upstream molecular events. Despite its potential in cancer research, large-scale integrative studies in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remain scarce. We analyzed 262 tissue samples from 165 LUAD patients using metabolomic, t...
Non-small cell lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Eleutherococcus senticosus can induce apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of Eleutherococcus senticosus in inducing apo...
Abstract
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive pulmonary disease, and effective therapies to reverse the natural course of IPF are lacking. A growing number of studies have shown that the use of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease. Current treatment options remain limited, driving interest in novel therapeutic approaches. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, while metformin, traditionally ...
Tumor-initiating cells (TICs) tend to reside in poorly vascularized regions of tumors and are subjected to nutrient stress. How TICs activate metabolic plasticity for adapting to periods of low nutrient availability, especially during glucose-limiting conditions, has remained unclarified. Here, w...
