Despite approvals of several therapeutics to treat advanced HCC in the past few years, the impact of anti-angiogenic treatment on HCC patient overall survival remains limited. This suggests there may be alternative, perfusion-independent roles of endothelial cells that support tumor progression.

Mutations in the DNA mismatch repair gene MSH2 are causative of microsatellite instability (MSI) in multiple cancers. Here, we discovered that besides its well-established role in DNA repair, MSH2 exerts a novel epigenomic function in gastric cancer (GC).

Although hypomethylating agents are currently used to treat patients with cancer, whether they can also reactivate and up-regulate oncogenes is not well elucidated.

For decades, scientists and doctors have been searching for the mechanisms underlying the formation of cancers.  Accumulating studies have revealed that each cancer type (e.g. gastric cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, …
