Semaphorin 3D promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression and metastasis through macrophage reprogramming …

Age-related thymic involution leads to diminished output of naïve T-cells. While this process is suggested to increase the risk of disease severity in the elderly following infection, direct evidence is lacking. We developed two mouse models that allow us …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition, but effective medications to prevent its progression and rupture are currently lacking. The nuclear receptor pregnane-X-receptor (PXR) plays a crucial role in vascular homeostasis. However, …

The pronounced cytotoxic effects of chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting B7-H3 in organoids and liver xenografts derived from colorectal cancer …

Recent advancements in photoacoustic (PA) imaging have leveraged reversibly photoswitchable chromophores, known for their dual absorbance states, to enhance imaging sensitivity through differential techniques. Yet, their deployment in tumor imaging has …

Nuclear medicine is an important tool for use in molecular imaging of important biological processes. Methods for intravenous delivery of radiotracers remains a challenge, with tail vein injections demonstrated to be technically difficult and lacking in …

Molecular ultrasound imaging with actively targeted microbubbles (MB) proved promising in preclinical studies but its clinical translation is limited. To achieve this, it is essential that the actively targeted MB can be produced with high batch-to-batch …

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging diagnostic technology that combines the penetration depth of ultrasound (US) imaging and the contrast resolution of optical imaging. Although PA imaging can visualize several endogenous chromophores to obtain …

Background: Arterial thrombosis, a condition in which thrombi form in arteries, can lead to various acute cardiovascular diseases and impact the quality of life and survival of patients. Berberine (BBR), a quaternary ammonium alkaloid, has been shown to …

Background and aim: Yueju Pill (YJ) not only has good antidepressant effect but also can effectively treat digestive system diseases. However,it remains unclear whether the mechanism of antidepressant action of YJ is related to the peripheral digestive …
