Oncolytic Mineralized Bacteria May Be Used for Tumor Immunotherapy via Local Injection Research Background As a novel cancer treatment method, bacteria-based cancer immunotherapy has a long history dating back to the late 19th century when heated, inactivated bacteria were used to treat sarcomas. Initial trials found that these bacteria could trigg...

Generation of Synthetic Whole-Slide Images of Tumors from RNA Sequencing Data via Cascaded Diffusion Models A recent study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, titled “Generation of Synthetic Whole-Slide Image Tiles of Tumours from RNA-Sequencing Data via Cascaded Diffusion Models,” has garnered significant attention. This research, conducte...

Utilization of Lipid Nanoparticles-mRNA Formulations to Eliminate ROS and Accelerate Diabetic Wound Healing Diabetic wounds are common complications in patients with hyperglycemia, characterized by high incidence and recurrence rates, causing substantial global economic losses. Existing treatments, including wound offloading and growth factor thera...

APOE4 Homozygotes Represent a Unique Genotypic Subset of Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the neurodegenerative diseases that modern medicine has yet to conquer, usually with a complex genetic background. While mutations in three genes (APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2) lead to early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s dise...

Differences in Coupling Between Cortical Networks Related to Arousal in Neural Activity and Hemodynamics Academic Background In the absence of specific sensory inputs or behavioral tasks, the brain generates structured activity patterns. This organized activity is modulated by the state of arousal. The relationship between arousal and cortical acti...

Parkinson’s Disease Research Report: Subthalamic Nucleus–Language Network Functional Connectivity Predicts Dopaminergic Modulation of Speech Function Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is primarily characterized by motor impairments, but it also involves non-motor symptoms including speech disorders, severely affecting patients’ quality of life. A...

Academic News Report Background The motor cortex has long been the focus of research on motor control, mainly studying its role in active motor execution. However, even in the absence of actual motor output, the motor cortex also activates during motor imagery. Previous behavioral and imaging studies have confirmed this phenomenon, but how the spec...

Predictive Autoantibody Signature for Multiple Sclerosis Academic Background and Research Significance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous studies have mostly suggested that T cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of MS. Howe...

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analysis Reveal Association between NOMO1 and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord gradually degrade. Although the genetic susceptibility of sporadic ALS patients remains uncertain, TDP-4...

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Mainly Damage Extrasynaptic Components Background Information In recent years, neuroimmunology research has revealed various neurological and psychiatric diseases associated with autoantibodies. In these disorders, autoantibodies target various molecules, including receptor membrane proteins, causing abnormal neural sys...
