OBJECTIVE: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy globally, but the role of the intratumoral microbiome remains poorly defined. While microbial dysbiosis is increasingly linked to cancer, the composition, function, and c…
Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, yet its precise pathogenesis remains incompletely elucidated. TICAM1, a key adaptor prote…
Chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs) affect a wide population and incur a substantial disease burden including comorbid mental disorders. Although these comorbidities have been extensively documented, the longitudinal trajectories of…
The differential progression of ten chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPC) and four comorbid mental disorders across demographic groups have rarely been reported in the literature. To fill in this gap, we conducted retrospective cohort …

The Hippo signaling pathway controls organ size and tumorigenesis through a kinase cascade that inactivates Yes-associated protein (YAP). Here, we show that YAP plays a central role in controlling the progression of cervical cancer. Our res…
