Abstract excerpt
To investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying aspartame (APM)-induced malignant phenotypic changes in colorectal cancer (CRC). Candidate targets of APM were identified by integrating the ChEMBL, SwissTargetPrediction, and SEA databases. Differential expression analysis was performed using transcriptomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) CRC cohort, followed by weighted gene co-expression...
