AbstractCancer development is associated with adaptation to various stressful conditions, such as extracellular acidosis. The adverse tumor microenvironment also selects for increased malignancy. Mitochondria are integral in stress sensing to allow for tumor cells to adapt to stressful conditions.

1. IntroductionPediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and unclassified IBD. The incidence rate of PIBD in China has increased in recent years [1,2]. The pathogenesis of IBD involves the environment, genetic predisposition, immunological system, and microbial flora [3,4].

Introduction Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to varying degrees of abnormal glucose metabolism occurring during pregnancy, excluding pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM) prior to pregnancy (American Diabetes Association, 2019). It usually occurs during the second or third trimester and has been increasing in prevalence over the years (Mack and Tomich, 2017). GDM is a common complication of pregnancy, posing significant risks to both the mother and the child (Zhong et al, 2022).

1. IntroductionDecommissioning is the final stage in the life-cycle of offshore oil and gas (O&G, hereafter) platforms, initiated when operations are no longer economically viable [,]. The decommissioning process primarily focuses on reversing the installation process, from well closure to seabed cleaning, while also adapting to specific challenges such as minimizing impacts on finances, human safety, and the environment [,,].

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major risk factor for heart failure (HF) and has elevated incidence among individuals with HF. Since genetics and HF can independently influence T2D, collider bias may occur when T2D (i.e., collider) is controlled for by design or analysis. Thus, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of diabetes-related HF with correction for collider bias.
