Background/Aims: The renal resistive index (RI) is a novel candidate as a renal injury prognostic indicator, but it remains unclear how renal RI levels correspond to renal injury in diabetic nephropathy. Methods: To examine this issue, we compared …

The effect of red raspberry fruit (RSP) was assessed in obesity-prone, Zucker Fatty rats as a model of cardiometabolic risk. RSP reduced fasting triglycerides and fasting glucose but did not appear to affect fasting insulin, low-density lipoprotein, or …

High-dose radiotherapy effects are regulated by acute tumour endothelial cell death followed by rapid tumour cell death instead of canonical DNA break damage. Pre-treatment with ultrasound-stimulated microbubbles (USMB) has enabled higher-dose radiation …

Color Doppler image indicating blood flow in the left ovary of a mouse. … … Blood Flow in the Murine Left Ovary …

A thrombus (blood clot), composed mainly of activated platelets and fibrin, obstructs arteries or veins, leading to various life-threatening diseases. Inspired by the distinctive physicochemical characteristics of thrombi such as abundant fibrin and an …

Recently, covalent-organic polymers (COPs), which covalently cross-link different types of organic molecules to form organic network structures, have received significant attention in various fields. However, the design of COPs that allows them to act as …

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have long since been investigated to provide a versatile drug-delivery platform due to their multitudinous merits. Presently, gadolinium (Gd), a T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, was doped into MSNs …

The interaction between methylene blue (MB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been widely studied spectroscopically, but details about their interactions remain unclear. Here, we combined photoacoustic (PA) imaging with nanoparticle tracking analysis …

Heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) depends on infarct size and adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling, both influenced by the inflammatory response. Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin- like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) is an inhibitory receptor of …
