- 使用了转移相关的基因组,结果通过免疫组织化学验证.
- 机器学习模型被用来识别预测基因签名.
主要成果:
- 细胞相互作用途径,包括焦点粘附和细胞外矩阵-受体相互作用,在患者组之间显示出显著的差异性表达.
- 这些途径的表达在患有BM的LUAD患者的肺组织中最高,在匹配的大脑组织中最低.

Metastasis
5.5K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways
6.3K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
