The viruses threats provoke concerns regarding their sustained epidemic transmission, making the development of vaccines particularly important. In the prolonged and costly process of vaccine development, the most important initial step is to identify protective immunogens. Machine learning (ML) approaches are productive ...
Enhancer RNA (eRNA), a type of non-coding RNA transcribed from enhancer regions, serves as a class of critical regulatory elements in gene expression. In cancer biology, eRNAs exhibit profound roles in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and therapeutic response modulation. In this review, we outline eRNA identification methods ...
Recently, the mRNA presence of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) in cancer biopsies has been shown to be associated with poor survival. Given the pregnancy-related function of PSGs, we hypothesized that PSGs might act in a sex-dependent behavior in cancer patients. A differential sex effect of PSG genes with respect ...
Super-enhancers (SEs) are typically located in the regulatory regions of genes, driving high-level gene expression. Identifying SEs is crucial for a deeper understanding of gene regulatory networks, disease mechanisms, and the development and physiological processes of organisms, thus exerting a profound impact on research ...
MDM2 (Mouse Double Minute 2), a fundamental governor of the p53 tumor suppressor pathway, has garnered significant attention as a favorable target for cancer therapy. Recent years have witnessed the development and synthesis of potent MDM2 inhibitors. Despite the fact that numerous MDM2 inhibitors and degraders have been ...
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are transcribed from DNA but are not translated into proteins. Studies over the past decades have revealed that ncRNAs can be classified into small RNAs, long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs by genomic size and structure. Accumulated evidences have eludicated the critical ...
