CONCLUSIONS: High xCT expression was associated with poor prognosis in OPSCC. Our findings suggest that joint analysis of xCT and p16 may add significant value in OPSCC treatment stratification.
Structural Repetition Detector: multi-scale quantitative mapping of molecular complexes through microscopy
From molecules to organelles, cells exhibit recurring structural motifs across multiple scales. Understanding these structures provides insights into their functional roles. While superresolution microscopy can visualise such patterns, manual detection…

Encapsulated mitochondria to reprogram the metabolism of M2-type macrophages for anti-tumor therapy
M2-type macrophages (M2Φ) play a pro-tumorigenic role and are closely associated with tumor development, where metabolic dysregulation exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and fosters tumor growth. Mitochondria serve as the…
Multiparameter imaging reveals clinically relevant cancer cell-stroma interaction dynamics in head and neck cancer
Epithelial tumors are characterized by abundant inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity, which complicates diagnostics and treatment. The contribution of cancer-stroma interactions to this heterogeneity is poorly understood. Here, we report a…
Glutaraldehyde-enhanced autofluorescence as a general tool for 3D morphological imaging
Routine histochemical techniques are capable of producing vast amount of information from diverse sample types, but these techniques are limited in their ability to generate 3D information. Autofluorescence imaging can…

Empirically establishing drug exposure records directly from untargeted metabolomics data
Despite extensive efforts, extracting information on medication exposure from clinical records remains challenging. To complement this approach, we developed the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) based GNPS Drug Library. This resource…
Detection of Tn-antigen in breast and prostate cancer models by VVL-labeled red dye-doped nanoparticles
Aim: Fluorescence detection of breast and prostate cancer cells expressing Tn-antigen, a tumor marker, with Vicia villosa lectin (VVL)-labeled nanoparticles.Materials & methods: Breast and prostate cancer cells engineered to express…
Restoring mechanophenotype reverts malignant properties of ECM-enriched vocal fold cancer
Increased extracellular matrix (ECM) and matrix stiffness promote solid tumor progression. However, mechanotransduction in cancers arising in mechanically active tissues remains underexplored. Here, we report upregulation of multiple ECM components…
