Thalamocortical dysconnectivity is associated with pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis Open
Previous studies have suggested that the morphology and function of the thalamus and cortex are abnormal in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, whether the thalamocortical network is differentially affected in this disorder i…

Hypothesis paper: GDF15 demonstrated promising potential in Cancer diagnosis and correlated with cardiac biomarkers Open
GDF15 demonstrated promising diagnostic potential in cancer identification; higher GDF15, combined with elevated cardiac markers, may play a role in the monitoring and prediction of CTRCD risk.

Diagnostic efficacy of GDF-15 in assessing myocardial dysfunction among pan-cancer patients Open
Background Cardiotoxicity represents a significant adverse consequence of cancer therapies, yet there remains a paucity of effective biomarkers for its timely monitoring and diagnosis. This study aims to elucidate the role of Growth Differ…
