The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a very important multi-functional organelle in eukaryotic cells. While completing the basic physiological functions, the endoplasmic reticulum becomes a pivotal platform for coordinated signal transduction with its large membrane structure. The endoplasmic reticulum is a...

In light-sensitive higher organisms, the biological clock is a set of functional systems formed by photoreceptor neurons, endocrine systems, and gene timing oscillation expression regulation. It enables the organism to form a rhythm of day and night from microscopic levels...

Mitochondria are a subcellular structure prevalent in eukaryotic cells and the most important source of energy in cells. Most tissue cells in the human body rely on oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria to obtain the energy needed to maintain their metabolism....

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a kind of free DNA released by tumor cells after necrosis and apoptosis. Because it circulates in the blood, the detection of ctDNA can reflect the tumor state in time. In 1940, Mandel and Métais...

Telomeres are short, multi-repeat non-transcribed sequences (TTAGGG) and some binding proteins that make up a special structure. In addition to providing a buffer for non-transcribed DNA, protects chromosome ends from fusion and degradation, chromosomal localization, replication, it plays an important...

The process of tumor formation and deterioration is not only related to the interaction of tumor cells with each other, but also related to the microenvironment of tumor cells and normal cells. In the early days, scientists observed that normal...
