Integrative network toxicology and transcriptomic analyses identify DCP1B and HAS2 as key prognostic biomarkers in formaldehyde-associated Wilms tumor

Background and objectives Wilms tumor, a common childhood malignancy, has been hypothesized to be associated with environmental factors such as formaldehyde exposure. As a potential endocrine disruptor with reported pro-proliferative effects, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of formaldehyde in Wilms tumor re...

Bisphenol A promotes colorectal cancer malignancy through CXCL8 upregulation associated with p38 MAPK activation: A potential link to type 2 diabetes mellitus comorbidity.

BPA-induced CXCL8 upregulation is associated with CRC malignant progression and enhanced p38 MAPK signaling, and TEAD4 may function as an upstream transcriptional regulator of CXCL8, although its direct regulation by BPA remains unclear.

Genetically informed prioritization of immune checkpoint–associated genes in head and neck cancer highlights HGF and AKT1

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are used to treat head and neck cancer (HNC), but clinical responses vary, and systematic genetic evaluation is needed to prioritize candidate susceptibility genes. We applied summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) and HEIDI testing to screen 624 immune checkpoint–related genes, i...
