Traditional clinicopathological features (TNM, pathology grade) are often insufficient in predictive prognosis accuracy of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The IL6-JAK-STAT3 pathway is aberrantly hyperactivated in many cancer types, and such hyperactivation is generally associated with a poor clinical prognosis implying that it can be used as a promising prognosis indicator. The relation between the IL6-JAK-STAT3 pathway and ccRCC remains unknown. We evaluated the levels of various cancer hallmarks and filtered out the promising risk hallmarks in ccRCC. Subsequently, a prognosis model based on these hallmark-related genes was established weighted correlation network analysis and Cox regression analysis. Besides, we constructed a nomogram based on the previous model with traditional clinicopathological features to improve the predictive power and accuracy. The IL6-JAK-STAT3 pathway was identified as the promising risk hallmarks in ccRCC, and the pathway-related prognosis model based on five genes was built. Also, the nomogram we developed demonstrated the strongest and most stable survival predictive ability. Our study would provide new insights for guiding individualized treatment of ccRCC patients.

N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPDQ), as a recently identified environmental toxicant, has garnered significant attention because of its widespread detection in ecosystems and human habitats. Emerging evidence highlights its potential detrimental effects on various organs. However, its carcinogenic potential remains poorly understood, particularly its role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Unlabelled: The role of RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in modulating the immune microenvironment during ischemic stroke (IS) pathogenesis remains poorly characterized. This investigation systematically explores m6A-mediated immune regulation in IS and identifies critical immune-related biomarkers. Transcriptomic profiles from 108 IS samples were analyzed to discern m6A regulatory patterns.

Introduction: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a common malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality and a very poor prognosis, highlighting the urgent need to identify molecular therapeutic targets. Monocyte chemotactic protein-inducible protein-1 (MCPIP1) is a common inflammatory protein associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, although a comprehensive understanding of its function and the underlying mechanisms involved in PC remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: Immunohistochemistry, western blotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, Transwell, and the scratch assay were used to evaluate the functional role of MCPIP1 in PC.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) critically regulate tumor progression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. This study investigated the characteristics of CAFs in glioblastoma (GBM) and developed a CAF-based risk signature to predict patient prognosis. The single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, whereas the bulk RNA-seq datasets were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), respectively.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) significantly increases dementia risk, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify protein signatures that distinguish dementia risk in T2D patients, develop a proteomic prediction model, and elucidate biological pathways connecting T2D and dementia.
Methods: We analyzed 2,920 plasma proteins from 52,958 participants (including 3,292 with T2D) in the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project with a median follow-up of 14.
