Abstract Objective and methods To ascertain the connection between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, relevant data were downloaded from the GEO and TCGA databases.The differentially expressed CRGs (DE-CRGs) were filtered

The elevated polyamines, amine-rich molecules with diverse functions in pathophysiology processes, are implicated in contributing to tumorigenesis and progression.Whether and how they affect the efficacy of chemotherapy is incompletely understood.Our screening assays reveal that the supplement with a low dose of spermidine (Spd), one of the polyami
