Core Tip

Core Tip: Lotus plumule exhibits promising efficacy in the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. This extensive study has identified four pivotal hub genes associated with the anti-gastric cancer effects of lotus plumule and elucidated the upstream and downstream targets of one of these genes, which possess significant potential as novel therapeutic and diagnostic targets for gastric cancer. These findings offer groundbreaking and innovative insights into the clinical management of gastric cancer, potentially enhancing its treatment and facilitating early detection.
