IDENTIFICATION OF THREE SUBTYPES OF OVARIAN CANCER AND CONSTRUCTION OF PROGNOSTIC MODELS BASED ON IMMUNE-RELATED GENES

Identification of three subtypes of ovarian cancer and construction of prognostic models based on immune-related genes

Abstract Background Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC), but different immune microenvironments often constrain the efficacy of immunotherapeutic interventions.Therefore, there is an imperative to delineate novel immune subtypes for development of efficacious immunotherapeutic strategies.Methods The immune subtypes

Viral Co-Infection in Bats: A Systematic Review

Co-infection is an underappreciated phenomenon in contemporary disease ecology despite its ubiquity and importance in nature.Viruses, and other co-infecting agents, can interact in ways that shape host and agent communities, influence infection dynamics, and drive evolutionary selective pressures.Bats are host to many viruses of zoonotic potential

Malfunction of Vascular Control in Lifestyle-Related Diseases: Oxidative Stress of Angiotensin II-induced Hypertension: Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases and Blood Pressure Regulation

The candidate mechanisms for maintaining hypertension in a chronically angiotensin II (Ang II)-infused state include direct vasoconstriction of the vasculature, disturbance of renal water/sodium handling, and central/peripheral sympathetic nerve regulation of hemodynamics.The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been studied SOAP 3 IN 1
