Introduction
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive forms of esophageal cancer and often presents treatment challenges due to its resistance to chemoradiotherapy (CRT). A recent study titled "Decreased plasma gelsolin fosters a fibrotic tumor microenvironment and promotes chemoradiotherapy resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma" sheds light on an intriguing factor…

Many stem cell therapies are still in the research stage, and some are being used in clinical practice worldwide for specific conditions.
Bone marrow transplants are the most widely used stem cell treatment currently available and are typically used to treat blood disorders like lymphoma or leukemia. Certain diseases or injuries of the skin, bones,…

The human body, a symphony of trillions of cells, each with a unique identity and function, is a testament to the intricacies of life. Despite sharing the same genetic blueprint, DNA, these cells embark on diverse paths, shaping the remarkable organism we are. At the heart of this cellular diversity lies the intricate organization of…

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most aggressive form of ovarian cancer, with a low five-year survival rate. To address this urgent need for new treatment options, researchers have turned to syngeneic mouse models as a game-changer in HGSOC research. These syngeneic models, derived from the same strain of mouse, provide a unique advantage…
