Hepatocellular carcinoma, a highly prevalent malignant tumor in China, accounts for nearly half of the newly diagnosed cases and deaths worldwide annually. Among liver cancer patients, 70-80% are diagnosed with tumor spread and metastasis, rendering them ineligible for surgical intervention. However, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular characteristics specific to metastatic liver cancer...

Associate Professor Zheng Jie’s lab in SIST has recently proposed an advanced artificial intelligence model named KR4SL. By integrating knowledge graphs and explainable graph neural networks, KR4SL has made strides in identifying anti-cancer drug targets based on synthetic lethality. This work has been formally published as a Proceedings paper in the top international bioinformatics conferen...

Stress granules (SGs) are membrane-less organelles that transiently arise in the cytoplasm in response to adverse environmental conditions. They form through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). SGs are thought to regulate mRNA functions during stress and participate in cell-fate specification by orchestrating the depletion and release of cytosolic regulatory proteins. Much effort has been focus...
