    Noninvasive Detection of Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer through Targeted Cell-Free DNA Methylation

    Researchers developed a targeted DNA methylation assay to detect castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer (CRPC-NE) using plasma cell-free DNA, which quantified tumor content and provided a phenotype evidence score that captured diverse CRPC phenotypes.

    Tumor Microenvironment Deconvolution Identifies Cell-Type-Independent Aberrant DNA Methylation and Gene Expression in Prostate Cancer

    Researchers examined methylation patterns and GE in prostate cancer patients by using a novel tumor deconvolution approach to identify and correct for cell-type proportions of the tumor microenvironment in its epigenome-wide association study and differential expression analysis.

    Heat Shock Factor 1 Directly Regulates Transsulfuration Pathway to Promote Prostate Cancer Proliferation and Survival

    Combined inhibition of heat shock factor 1 and cystathionine-β-synthase resulted in more pronounced inhibition of prostate cancer cell proliferation and reduction of transsulfuration pathway metabolites.
