Adipose-Derived Stem Cells as Carrier of Pro-Apoptotic Oncolytic Myxoma Virus: To Cross the Blood–Brain Barrier and Treat Murine Glioma

Crossing the Blood–Brain Barrier: Study on Adipose-Derived Stem Cells as Carriers for Pro-Apoptotic Oncolytic Myxoma Virus in the Treatment of Murine Glioblastoma Background and Objective Glioblastoma (GBM) is among the most invasive and aggressive brain tumors, characterized by high recurrence rates and poor prognosis. Despite multimodal intervent...

Flow Cytometry Identifies Changes in Peripheral and Intrathecal Lymphocyte Patterns in CNS Autoimmune Disorders and Primary CNS Malignancies

Flow Cytometry Identifies Changes in Peripheral and Intrathecal Lymphocyte Patterns in CNS Autoimmune Disorders and Primary CNS Malignancies

New Insights into CNS Disease Immunology Mechanisms Revealed by Multidimensional Flow Cytometry In immunological research, understanding the immunopathological mechanisms of central nervous system (CNS) diseases is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment decisions. A study published in Journal of Neuroinflammation in 2024 used multidimensional fl...

Circulating Tumor DNA-Based Stratification Strategy for Chemotherapy Plus PD-1 Inhibitor in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Exploration of a Chemotherapy and PD-1 Inhibitor Personalized Stratification Strategy Based on Circulating Tumor DNA in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Background and Significance of the Study Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally.

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: PD Generation, A North American Study

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: Comprehensive Report Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms. Research has shown that at least seven genes (LRRK2, GBA1, PRKN, SNCA, PINK1, PARK7, VPS35) are directly related to the occurr...

Development and Preclinical Validation of 2-Deoxy 2-[18F]Fluorocellobiose as an Aspergillus-Specific PET Tracer

Academic Report The incidence of global Invasive Fungal Infections (IFIs) has increased over the past few decades, primarily affecting immunocompromised patients, and these infections are often associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most common and deadly IFI pathogens. The main obstacles to effectiv...

High Sensitivity of Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing in Colon Tissue Biopsy by Host DNA Depletion

High sensitivity of high-throughput metagenomic sequencing in colon tissue biopsies: Eliminating the impact of host DNA Background Evaluating bacterial taxonomic structure through next-generation sequencing without culturing has become a common method for studying the relationship between bacterial imbalance and various diseases. Previous studies h...

Novel Time-Dependent Multi-Omics Integration in Sepsis-Associated Liver Dysfunction

Time-Dependent Multi-Omics Integration in Sepsis-Associated Liver Dysfunction Introduction Sepsis, especially severe cases, causes multiple organ dysfunction due to systemic infection, resulting in up to 5 million deaths globally each year. Traditionally, Sepsis-Associated Liver Dysfunction (SALD) was considered a condition accompanied by jaundice ...

QDPR Deficiency Drives Immune Suppression in Pancreatic Cancer

Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a malignancy with a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), showing strong resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies, such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) derived from tumors play a critical role in tumor immune supp...

Prehospital Lactate Levels Obtained in the Ambulance and Prediction of 2-Day In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury

Research Report Background Overview Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of permanent disability and death worldwide. These disorders are dynamic and evolving, involving progressive brain injury and pathophysiological changes accompanied by multi-system damage. The severity of TBI is typically assessed using the Glasgow Coma Sc...
