In a paper published in MedComm - Oncology, an international team of scientists summarized the regulatory roles of MRPs in cancer. They further predict the clinical value of MRPs based on data from The Human Protein Atlas and the BEST to explore the correlation between all members of MRPs and the prognosis of patients with cancer. Finally, they provided novel insights regarding strategies targeting MRPs and future directions of research on MRPs and cancer.

This study is the first to reveal the dual regulatory role of copper metabolism imbalance and cuproptosis in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC), providing novel molecular targets and therapeutic strategies for targeting the cuproptosis pathway and its key regulatory genes in the treatment of IBD and CRC. The related findings were published in Research under the title "Unveiling the Cuproptosis in Colitis and Colitis-Related Carcinogenesis: A Multifaceted Player and Immune Moderator."

A team of researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington has received a grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, known as CPRIT, to tackle the critical issue of low physical activity among cancer survivors.[CJM1]  Regular exercise can significantly improve survivors’ quality of life and reduce their risk of death, yet up to 84% don’t get enough to see these benefits.[CJM2] 

A new study from scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reveals that the cells shaping our organs may be far more mobile and coordinated than once believed.
