The Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Metabolic Reprogramming, Tumor microenvironment, and Macrophage Regulation: Mechanisms and Advances in Preclinical Studies

Background: Cancer metabolism reprogramming is a hallmark of tumorigenesis, playing a critical role in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Macrophages in the Tumor microenvironment (TME) play a crucial role in tumor progression and immune system evasion. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown potential in influencing cancer metabolism and immune functions, offering new therapeutic possibilities. Objective: This review explores the ...

A squamous epithelial gene interaction perturbation network index for risk stratification in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) exhibits substantial molecular heterogeneity and unfavorable clinical outcomes. Current transcriptomic advances are shifting the focus from static gene expression profiles to the dynamic architecture of gene interaction networks. However, gene interaction perturbation signatures specific to ESCC remain poorly understood. This study aimed to develop a network-informed prognostic index derived from malignant ...
