Maleated Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) Lignin-Glyoxal-Chitosan Wood Adhesives

In this research, an effective method has been developed to bond wood panel adhesives of good performance using biosourced lignin and chitosan as the two main raw materials. Lignin was thus modified by a deep eutectic solvent (DES) and maleic anhydride (MA), respectively. Then DES/MA modified lignin was reacted with glyoxal to obtain a new environmentally friendly lignin-glyoxal (LG) resin. Next, chitosan was added as a bio-crosslinker to the synthesised LG resin. Finally, the performance…

Recent Advances in Natural Polysaccharide-Based Materials for Wound Healing: Chitosan, Konjac Glucomannan and Cellulose

Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process essential for restoring the integrity of damaged skin. It requires wound dressings that actively regulate the wound microenvironment by preventing infection, maintaining moisture balance, allowing gas exchange, and managing exudate. Natural polysaccharides, such as konjac glucomannan (KGM), chitosan, and cellulose, are well suited to this role because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and intrinsic bioactivity. Extensive research has focused on developing polysaccharide-based wound dressings with enhanced functionality to…

Glutathione Peroxidases 1 and 3 Immunoscores in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: New Insights from a Case-Series Study

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, with a poor prognosis in advanced stages. Although histological tumor grading is an established prognostic parameter, it often fails to capture the biological heterogeneity of RCC. Therefore, identifying novel biomarkers could enhance early diagnosis and improve predictive accuracy. Here, we aimed to test whether immunophenotypes of specific glutathione peroxidase (GPX) family members may have prognostic value in RCC. Methods: We…

SLC16A1 Activates the STAT3/SLC7A11 Pathway to Mediate Ferroptosis Resistance and Tumor Progression in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background: In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), solute carrier family 16 member 1 (SLC16A1) is associated with tumor advancement and reduced sensitivity to ferroptosis, yet the molecular basis of these effects remains unclear. This study seeks to uncover how SLC16A1 contributes to HNSCC tumorigenesis. Methods: To elucidate how SLC16A1 drives HNSCC progression via ferroptosis resistance, we performed RNA sequencing on SLC16A1-knockdown HNSCC cells and controls, followed by functional validation. We next systematically assessed…

Isoliquiritigenin Impedes Breast Cancer Progression through PITX1–PFKP-Mediated Glycolysis Reprogramming

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, primarily due to distant metastasis. Metabolic reprogramming plays a critical role in tumor growth and spread, but the metabolic mechanisms underlying metastasis in breast cancer remain unclear. The primary objective of this study is to identify molecular targets mediating breast cancer progression and to evaluate whether targeting the metabolic reprogramming represents a potential therapeutic strategy. Methods: To uncover key metabolic regulators involved in…

Melatonin in Integrative Oncology: Biological Mechanisms, Therapeutic Evidence and Implementation Strategies

Melatonin, an endogenous indoleamine primarily synthesized in the pineal gland, has emerged as a promising adjunctive agent within integrative oncology due to its pleiotropic biological actions. Beyond its well-known chronobiological functions, melatonin exerts potent redox-regulatory, anti-inflammatory, oncostatic, and immune-modulating effects that are relevant across multiple stages of carcinogenesis and cancer therapy. Oxidative stress (OS), defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) generation and antioxidant defenses, plays a central role in DNA…

In Vivo CAR-T Therapy for Cancer Treatment: Mechanisms, Technological Advances, and Clinical Translation

In vivo Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy reprograms a patient’s own T cells directly inside the body, bypassing the complex and costly traditional manufacturing process. This is achieved by systemically delivering viral or non-viral vectors that genetically modify endogenous T lymphocytes to produce functional CAR-T cells de novo. By eliminating ex vivo cell processing, this strategy can simplify workflows, reduce costs, improve accessibility, and allow faster treatment. Key delivery platforms include engineered lentiviral and adeno-associated viral (AAV)…

Comparative Analysis of Tumor Microbiota Identifies a Metastatic-Specific Bacterial Signature, Highlighting Streptococcus spp. As the Predominant Hub across Cancers

Background: Cancer remains one of the leading global health challenges, with lung cancer (LC), breast cancer (BC), and colorectal cancer (CRC) among the most prevalent and deadly malignancies. The intratumoral microbiota (IM), a distinct microbial ecosystem within tumor tissues, has recently emerged as a potential modulator of carcinogenesis, immune responses, and metastatic progression. However, comparative cross-cancer analyses remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the IM across these cancer types, with particular emphasis on…

The Role of Immunotherapy in Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 has transformed the therapeutic landscape of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and recent clinical trials have extended their application to resectable disease. Multiple randomized phase III trials have demonstrated that neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy, particularly when combined with platinum-based chemotherapy, significantly improves pathological complete response (pCR), major pathological response (MPR), event-free survival (EFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) compared to
