Cancer's global impact is severe, affecting millions worldwide and driving cancer research to the forefront of biomedical science.
A recent special issue from Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, guest-edited by Dr Daming Gao and Dr Gaoxiang Ge from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, dives deep into the molecular mechanisms behind cancer's malignant phenotype - the key to developing effective cancer therapies.
This issue unites experts in basic cancer research, summarising the latest advances in cancer biology and potential therapeutic strategies.
Covered topics range widely, from the role of the Hippo pathway in tumorigenesis by Dr Zhaocai Zhou (Fudan University) and Dr Lei Zhang (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) to the impact of ageing on breast cancer by Dr Limin Zhao (Nanchang University).
Metabolic reprogramming in cancer is explored by Dr Peng Jiang (Tsinghua University) , Dr Xianjun Yu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, and Dr Xin Lu from Fudan University, while tumour heterogeneity is tackled by Dr Hongbin Ji (Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences).
The tumour microenvironment in prostate cancer is examined by Dr Yundong He (East China Normal University) and Dr Shangcheng Ren (Naval Medical University), while leukaemia immunotherapy is discussed by Dr Junke Zheng and Yaping Zhang from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medcine.
RNA methylation in oesophageal cancer is reviewed by Dr Hecheng Li from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
By exploring cancer's underlying biology, this special issue aims to contribute to the development of mechanism-based approaches for cancer treatment, bringing hope to those affected by this disease.
We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
