To investigate the impact of Wdr4 on the metabolic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we established an orthotopic HCC model in Wdr4-f/f and Wdr4 conditional knockout (Wdr4-cKO) mice. TAMs were subsequently isolated via flow cytometry-based cel...
Macrophages are prominent immune cells in the tumor microenvironment that can be educated into pro-tumoral phenotype by tumor cells to favor tumor growth and metastasis. The mechanisms that mediate a mutualistic relationship between tumor cells and macrophages remain poorly characterized. Here, w...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits profound molecular heterogeneity based on primary tumor location. A comprehensive understanding of the spatially resolved metabolic differences between right-sided (RCC) and left-sided (LCC) carcinomas remains elusive. Here, to eliminate the influence of inter-ind...
Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major public health concern. Gut dysbiosis plays a critical role in its pathogenesis, yet the specific microbial and functional shifts driving ALD progression require further elucidation. This study aims to characterize these alterations a...
