Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cancer Biology Models:
There seems to be a decline in studies focused on classical cancer biology models, such as those solely centered on tumor cell lines, as researchers increasingly adopt more complex in vivo or organoid systems. - Single-Cell Analysis in Non-Cancer Contexts:
While single-cell analysis has gained traction, its applications in non-cancer contexts have decreased, possibly overshadowed by cancer-related single-cell studies. - Basic Mechanistic Studies without Translational Focus:
Research that lacks a clear translational application or relevance to human health is becoming less prominent, as there is a stronger push towards studies with direct clinical implications.
