Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting reproductive women. Treatments with Chinese herbal mixtures (HM) and electro-acupuncture (EA) have been proven efficient in clinic. This study evaluated the peripheral and central effects of HM and EA in dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced PCOS rats. The female Wistar rats were divided into control (C), control with placebo (CP), DHT-induced PCOS model (PCOS), PCOS model exposed to herbal mi...

Background: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are heterogeneous malignancies that arise from complex cellular interactions within the tissue microenvironment. Until recently, the absence of reliable methods to unmix tumor- and stroma-derived signals has precluded a comprehensive understanding of how GEP-NETs arise in different tissues. Here, we sought to decipher tumor-derived signals from the surrounding microenvironment by applying Nanostring Digital Sp...
