Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and therapeutic resistance across various cancer types, including hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric cancer, breast cancer, retinoblastoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma, colorectal cancer, and clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. Studies investigate the roles of genes, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in regulating cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and the tumor microenvironment. Research also explores potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers and the impact of signaling pathways like Wnt, NF-κB, JAK-STAT, and PI3K/AKT.
