Cell-resolved virus-host programs across cancers associated with five human oncoviruses: a systematic review

This systematic review of 75 single-cell RNA sequencing studies on five human oncoviruses reveals that while no universal host-gene signature exists, recurring virus-host programs involve complex immune interactions and viral transcript associations that vary by context, highlighting the need for rigorous study designs to develop reproducible biomarkers.

Systematic Review of Microfluidic Inter-Organ Communication: Architectural Topologies, Biomolecular Transport Vectors, and Allometric Scaling in Multi‑Organ‑on‑a‑Chip Systems

This systematic review evaluates the architectural, kinetic, and scaling principles of Multi‑Organ‑on‑a‑Chip systems to enhance preclinical drug translation, while identifying critical barriers such as material absorption, media standardization, and sensing integration that must be overcome for regulatory and clinical adoption.

Chromosomal inversions modulate 3D chromatin interactions and regulatory architecture in Anopheles gambiae

This study utilizes high-resolution Micro-C, RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq analyses to demonstrate that chromosomal inversions (2La and 2Rbc) in *Anopheles* mosquitoes modulate 3D chromatin architecture and rewire enhancer-promoter interactions, thereby altering the expression of key immune genes involved in malaria parasite susceptibility.

CircLMF1 Activates the TFE3-MVP/ABCC1 Pathway to Promote Mesenchymal Transition and Sensitize Glioblastoma to Ferroptosis

This study reveals that the upregulated circLMF1 in mesenchymal glioblastoma promotes proneural-mesenchymal transition and simultaneously sensitizes glioblastoma stem cells to ferroptosis by stabilizing TFE3 to upregulate MVP and ABCC1, thereby identifying a therapeutic vulnerability for combinatorial targeting.

Integrating Multi-dimensional RNA Sequencing to Construct a Prognostic Risk Model for Bladder Cancer

By integrating bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data, this study developed a robust five-gene immune microenvironment-related prognostic model for bladder cancer that accurately predicts patient survival and identifies candidates likely to benefit from immunotherapy.
