Adeno-Associated Virus-Mediated Trastuzumab Delivery to the Central Nervous System for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2+ Brain Metastasis

AAV-Mediated Trastuzumab Delivery to the Central Nervous System for EGFR2-Positive Brain Metastases Introduction In the treatment of breast cancer, tumors that are human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive exhibit more aggressive characteristics, posing significant challenges for clinical treatment. Since the approval of trastuzumab ...

Associations of Epigenetic Age Estimators with Cognitive Function Trajectories in the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study

Association Between Epigenetic Age Acceleration Estimates and Cognitive Trajectories in the Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study Background Maintaining cognitive function is crucial for independent living among older adults. With the growth of the aging population, cognitive decline has become a significant public health challenge. Many studies h...

Precise and safe pulmonary segmentectomy enabled by visualizing cancer margins with dual-channel near-infrared fluorescence

Precise and Safe Lung Segmentectomy Enabled by Dual-Channel Near-Infrared Fluorescence Tumor and Pleural Demarcation Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Since the introduction of computed tomography screening, the early detection rate of lung cancer has greatly increased, significantly reducing mortality rates. Studies...

SIRT1-RAB7 Axis Attenuates NLRP3 and STING Activation through Late Endosomal-Dependent Mitophagy during Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury

The SIRT1-Rab7 Axis Regulates NLRP3 and STING Activation in Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Terminal Endosome-Dependent Mitophagy Academic Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the leading causes of death in septic patients, primarily due to the pro-inflammatory changes and permeability defects in endothelial cells (ECs). Mitochondrial ...

Raman-Based Machine Learning Platform Reveals Unique Metabolic Differences Between IDHmut and IDHwt Glioma

Study on Metabolic Differences between IDH Mutant and Wild-type Glioma Cells Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Platform Background Introduction In the diagnosis and treatment of gliomas, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections are commonly used. However, due to background noise interference from the embedding medium, th...

Representation of Genomic Intratumor Heterogeneity in Multi-Region Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patient-Derived Xenograft Models

Manifestations of Genomic-Level Intratumoral Tumor Heterogeneity in Multi-Region Patient-Derived Xenograft Models of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Academic Background and Research Motivation Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) models are widely used in cancer research. PDX models are established by transplanting human tumors into immunodeficient mice. The...

Systematic analysis of NDUFAF6 in Complex I Assembly and Mitochondrial Disease

Systematic Analysis of NDUFAF6 in Complex I Assembly and Mitochondrial Disease Background Mitochondrial complex I (CI) is a crucial component of the respiratory chain, playing an essential role in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) by introducing electrons into the mitochondrial respiratory chain and, together with complexes II-IV, generating and m...

Lipid Unsaturation Promotes Bax and Bak Pore Activity During Apoptosis

Unsaturation of Fatty Acids Promotes Pore-Forming Activity of Bax and Bak in Apoptosis Background Apoptosis is the major form of programmed cell death, involved in fundamental biological processes such as embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and immune system functions. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to neurodegenerative diseases and tum...

Supramolecular Assembly Activated Single-Molecule Phosphorescence Resonance Energy Transfer for Near-Infrared Targeted Cell Imaging

Supramolecular Assembly-Activated Single-Molecule Phosphorescence Resonance Energy Transfer for Near-Infrared Targeted Cell Imaging In recent years, pure organic phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (PRET) research has become a hot topic. In this paper, the authors constructed a single-molecule PRET system with a large Stokes shift (367 nm) an...

Orthogonal proteogenomic analysis identifies the druggable PA2G4-MYC axis in 3q26 AML

Orthogonal Proteogenomic Analysis Identifies Druggable PA2G4-MYC Axis in 3q26 AML Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive malignancy. In particular, the 3q26 chromosomal abnormality subtype of AML has a complex pathogenic mechanism and lacks effective targeted therapies. To address this challenge, Matteo Marchesini and...
