Environmental carcinogens increase cancer incidence via both mutagenic and non-mutagenic mechanisms. There are over 500 known or suspected carcinogens classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Sequencing of both cancerous and histologically non-cancerous tissue has been instrumental in improving our understanding of how environmental carcinogens cause cancer. Understanding how and defining which environmental or lifestyle exposures drive cancer will support cancer prevention. Recent research is revisiting the mechanisms of early tumorigenesis, paving the way for an era of molecular cancer prevention. Significance: Recent data have improved our understanding of how carcinogens cause cancer, which may reveal novel opportunities for molecular cancer prevention.

Bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) is a significant clinical challenge that limits the long-term effectiveness. Currently, there is a lack of reliable biomarkers to predict bortezomib resistance. Previous studies reported that several proteins regulate bortezomib resistance through targeting ubiquitin-proteasome pathways, including heat shock protein family A member 9 (HSPA9), dickkopf Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor 1 (DKK1), proteasome 26S subunit non-ATPase 14 (PSMD14), and tripartite motif containing 21 (TRIM21).

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between adiponectin levels and the incidence of metabolic dysfunction- associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to explore the predictive value of adiponectin in the onset of these conditions.
Methods: A 17-year follow-up of 35,026 individuals from the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II biobank cohort (2004-2021) was conducted. Adiponectin levels were categorized into quintiles.

Breast cancer is a prevalent malignancy worldwide. The majority of breast cancers belong to the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive luminal subtype that can be effectively treated with antiestrogen therapies. However, a significant portion of such malignancies become hormone-refractory and incurable.

Since its discovery in the late 18th Century, the role of vaccination in preventing death and disease has expanded across many infectious diseases and cancer. Key to our understanding of vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy is knowledge of the immune system itself. Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) represent a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by impaired function of the immune system.

Introduction: Copper complexes, as endogenous metals, have potential in cancer therapy, addressing issues associated with cisplatin. Since cisplatin uses Copper Transporter 1 (CTR1) for cellular entry, copper complexes may utilize this pathway to enhance transport efficiency.
Methods: The Cu/Na dipicolinic acid complex was synthesized to assess its cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis, drug resistance, and inflammation in cancerous and normal lung cells.
