Integrated network toxicology, transcriptomic, and Mendelian randomization analyses explore potential molecular links between acrylamide exposure and clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Acrylamide is a potential carcinogen widely encountered in occupational settings and heat-processed foods. However, the potential molecular relationships between acrylamide-associated targets and clear cell renal cell carcinoma remain po...

Association of baseline non-severe anemia with clinical outcomes following the first recorded diagnosis of systemic sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) carries the highest mortality among systemic autoimmune diseases, yet the prognostic significance of anemia around the time of the first recorded SSc diagnosis is unclear. We examined whether baseline anemia is a...

Circulating tumor plasma cells correlate with tumor burden and routine laboratory markers in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Circulating tumor plasma cells (CTPCs) detected by multiparameter flow cytometry may serve as a minimally invasive marker of disease burden in multiple myeloma (MM). However, the relationship between CTPC burden, routine laboratory param...
