TL;DR

The AEN score is a robust prognostic tool linking PCD activity to PCa aggressiveness and immune evasion and EZR emerges as a functional effector and potential therapeutic target acting through Hippo signaling in PCa.

Identification of FN1 and TIMP1 as macrophage-associated programmed cell death-related prognostic markers in glioblastoma via integrated bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary intracranial malignancy in adults, characterized by poor survival and high mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that macrophage-associated programmed cell death (MacPCD) plays a critical role in GBM pathogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly under...

A programmed cell death learning signature predicts immunotherapy response and identifies AP1S1 as a regulator of immune exclusion in breast cancer.

This study establishes the PCDsig developed is a potential prognostic and predictive biomarker for breast cancer and provides the first evidence of AP1S1 as a core immunomodulatory oncogene that mediates immune exclusion.

Integrative multi-omics reveals the POSTN+ CAF–APOE+ macrophage axis drives immunosuppression and progression in prostate cancer

An integrated single-cell atlas defines a critical POSTN+ CAF–APOE+ macrophage unit that is associated with a fibrotic and immunosuppressive TME in advanced prostate cancer, and suggested conserved enrichment and adverse prognostic impact of this stromal-immune axis across diverse tumor types, though tissue-specific co...

Multimodal integration of pathomics and single-cell transcriptomics reveals CDC20 as a link between prostate cancer recurrence and benzo[a]pyrene-responsive phenotypes

These findings identify CDC20 as a recurrence-associated molecular node involved in BaP-responsive malignant biological phenotypes and provide a phenotype-anchored framework linking recurrence biology with environmental exposure-related tumor behavior.

Integrating single-cell transcriptomics to construct an oncogene-driven prognostic model and elucidate metabolic-immune crosstalk in hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, its progression and treatment heterogeneity are mainly influenced by driver gene and tumor micro-environment (TME) interactions. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of this process at the single-cell level remain unclear. This study integrate...
