Article Abstract

The REnal cancer consortium for Focused Investigation of Novel biomarkers and Expression (REFINE) consortium represents an important initiative in integrating clinical data with molecular sequencing in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with immunotherapy-based approaches. By leveraging real-world evidence and genomic analysis, this consortium aims to explore putative predictive biomarkers with the potential to inform personalized treatment strategies. Findings from the REFINE database may further contribute to our understanding of disease courses of immunotherapy-based approaches for various molecular subtypes of RCC, associations of race and ethnicity with RCC treatment and outcomes with representation of patient populations underrepresented in clinical trials, and optimizing treatment sequencing.

Introduction: Appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare lesions which are generally incidentally discovered during or after appendectomies. Recent advances have refined their classification and improved diagnostic rates, highlighting their distinct pathologic and clinical presentations. The present study aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms using data from the U.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

Background: Pelvic and acetabular fractures, often resulting from high-impact trauma, pose significant challenges due to extensive blood loss and complex surgical procedures. Tranexamic acid (TXA), widely used in elective orthopedic surgeries, offers a potential strategy for managing blood loss. However, its efficacy and safety in pelvic-acetabular trauma surgeries have shown inconsistent results in prior studies.

Purpose: To explore the causal links between antihypertension drugs usage and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: Multiple genetic analyses, including summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR), traditional MR, and colocalization analysis, were used to explore the causal associations between antihypertension drugs and AMD. Clinical data from the UK Biobank and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was applied to refined risk assessment of specific antihypertensive medications in the context of AMD development.

The global antibiotic resistance issue constitutes a driving force for developing host defense antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) into a new generation of antibiotics. To facilitate this development, we report the antimicrobial peptide database version 6 (APD6) with (i) the consolidated database platform, (ii) the most comprehensive AMP information pipeline (AMPIP), and (iii) the expanded wheel of function. As of 18 March 2025, the APD6 platform housed records for 5188 peptides, including 3306 natural, 1380 synthetic, and 239 predicted AMPs with systematic classification schemes for each group.
