3	What molecular mechanisms link perlecan/HSPG2 upregulation to radioresistance a… The study identifies perlecan/HSPG2 upregulation in radioresistant cells and shows knockdown sensitizes cells, but the mechanistic pathway connecting perlecan t… gap-pubmed-20260410-155422-0d73b76f	open	0.800	cancer biology	2026-04-10	Open →
4	What mechanisms explain how β-catenin mutations can be both oncogenic and tumor… The abstract reports both gain-of-function and loss-of-function CTNNB1 mutations are detected in human cancers, presenting a paradox. Understanding this dual ro… gap-pubmed-20260410-182730-7c309a86	open	0.800	cancer biology	2026-04-10	Open →
5	Why does panobinostat improve progression-free survival but not overall respons… The study shows significant PFS improvement (11.99 vs 8.08 months) but no difference in overall response rates (60.7% vs 54.6%). This disconnect between disease… gap-pubmed-20260410-155318-e707f943	open	0.790	cancer biology	2026-04-10	Open →
6	What determines whether IDH2-mediated metabolic reprogramming confers cross-res… The study demonstrates cross-resistance to CDDP through antioxidant defense mechanisms, but it's unclear if this extends to other chemotherapy classes or what f… gap-pubmed-20260410-155404-e92d1896	open	0.790	cancer biology	2026-04-10	Open →
7	What mechanisms drive the selective increase in complete/near-complete response… Panobinostat significantly increased complete/near-complete responses (27.6% vs 15.7%) while overall response rates were similar.
