- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
背景情况:
- 肺癌 (LC) 是中国癌症死亡的主要原因,发病率和死亡率不断上升.
- 在LC患者和健康个体之间存在免疫细胞形状的差异,但因果关系尚不确定.
- 门德尔随机化 (MR) 用于研究免疫细胞和LC风险之间的潜在因果关联.
研究的目的:
- 探索各种免疫细胞类型与患肺癌的风险之间的潜在因果关系.
- 为了确定特定的免疫细胞群体,可以保护或促进肺癌的发展.
主要方法:

02:59Cancer Prevention
6.1K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
