    Bayesian risk prediction model for colorectal cancer mortality through integration of clinicopathologic and genomic data

    Routine tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging of colorectal cancer is imperfect in predicting survival due to tumor pathobiological heterogeneity and imprecise assessment of tumor spread. We leveraged Bayesian a...

    Spatially resolved multimarker evaluation of CD274 (PD-L1)/PDCD1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint expression and macrophage polarisation in colorectal cancer

    The CD274 (PD-L1)/PDCD1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint interaction may promote cancer progression, but the expression patterns and prognostic significance of PD-L1 and PD-1 in the colorectal cancer microenvironment ...

    Histopathology images predict multi-omics aberrations and prognoses in colorectal cancer patients

    Histopathologic assessment is indispensable for diagnosing colorectal cancer (CRC). However, manual evaluation of the diseased tissues under the microscope cannot reliably inform patient prognosis or genomic v...

    Spatial Technologies: A Game Changer for Studying the Tumor Microenvironment

    Traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) has long been considered the “gold standard” for tissue pathology diagnosis. However, the diagnostic and prognostic value of this technique is limited by a number of fact...

    Smoking and colorectal cancer survival in relation to tumor LINE-1 methylation levels: a prospective cohort study

    Carcinogens in cigarette smoke may cause aberrant epigenomic changes. The hypomethylation of long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (LINE-1) in colorectal carcinoma has been associated with genomic instability...

    Immune cell profiles in the tumor microenvironment of early-onset, intermediate-onset, and later-onset colorectal cancer

    Despite heightened interest in early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosed before age 50, little is known on immune cell profiles of early-onset CRC. It also remains to be studied whether CRCs diagnosed at o...

    Immunological history governs human stem cell memory CD4 heterogeneity via the Wnt signaling pathway

    The diversity of the naïve T cell repertoire drives the replenishment potential and capacity of memory T cells to respond to immune challenges. Attrition of the immune system is associated with an increased pr...
