Integrative bulk and single-cell transcriptomic analysis identifies a migrasome-associated lncRNA signature predictive of prognosis and immune landscape in clear cell renal cell ca... by Junlin Shen, Chun Wang, Mingpeng Zhang, Bin Chen, Liwei Liu, Jing Tian, Zhiqun Shang

“…IntroductionClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by high recurrence and metastasis rates, leading to poor prognosis. Migrasomes, a class of organelles mediating intercellular communication, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) both play critical roles in tumor progression; however, the prognostic significance of migrasome-associated lncRNAs in ccRCC remains unclear.MethodsMigrasome-associated lncRNAs were identified using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and a prognostic risk signature was constructed. …”
