"Within the intricate milieu of colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) act as pivotal orchestrators, wielding considerable influence over tumor progression. Their review endeavored to dissect the multifaceted functions of CAFs within the realm of CRC, thereby highlighting their indispensability in fostering CRC malignant microenvironment and indicating the development of CAFs-targeted therapeutic interventions. Through a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge, their review delineated insights into CAFs-mediated modulation of cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, immune evasion, and neovascularization, elucidating the intricate web of interactions that sustain the pro-tumor metabolism and secretion of multiple factors. Additionally, recognizing the high level of heterogeneity within CAFs is crucial, as they encompass a range of subtypes, including myofibroblastic CAFs, inflammatory CAFs, antigen-presenting CAFs, and vessel-associated CAFs. Innovatively, the symbiotic relationship between CAFs and the intestinal microbiota is explored, shedding light on a novel dimension of CRC pathogenesis. Despite remarkable progress, the orchestrated dynamic functions of CAFs remain incompletely deciphered, underscoring the need for continued research endeavors for therapeutic advancements in CRC management. This review article is well written, and is informative for journal readers in this field." [Collapse]

"The Esophageal cancer (EC) often occurs in the elderly, with approximately 33% of patients aged ≥ 75 years at the time of diagnosis. Since patients aged 75 years and above are often excluded from many clinical trials of EC, there is a lack of agreement regarding the prognosis and treatment of this population. They retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics, toxic reactions, and survival information of elderly patients with EC aged ≥ 75 years who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Their analyses aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors affecting overall survival. They found that the Charlson comorbidity index and nutritional risk screening 2002 were independent prognostic factors for overall survival.

"Supplementation with 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] improved hepatic steatosis and lipid metabolism in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, linked to its capacity to reverse the proinflammatory M1 polarization of hepatic macrophages, partially by regulating the vitamin D receptor-peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ pathway. The involvement of 1,25(OH)2D3 in inhibiting fatty-acid-induced proinflammatory M1 polarization of macrophages played a direct role in relieving lipid accumulation and metabolism in hepatocytes. Their results are informative for journal readers in this field." [Collapse]

"Despite advances in therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC), the 5-year survival rate for CRC patients in China remains only 56.9%. Their study explored the effects of matrine on CRC by targeting a newly identified anti-apoptotic protein, Shank-associated RH domain interactor (SHARPIN). SHARPIN was discovered through proteomic analysis and its expression was validated in both the TCGA database and our patient cohort using immunohistochemistry. Inhibiting SHARPIN expression led to increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation, invasion, and migration of CRC cells in vitro. Matrine's ability to inhibit SHARPIN and induce apoptosis highlights its potential as a promising therapeutic agent for CRC. Their results are informative for journal readers in this field."
