Anisotropic polydopamine nanobowls (PDA NBs) show significant promise in biomedicine, distinguished by their unique optical properties and superior cellular uptake compared to spherical nanoparticles. This study presents a novel approach for creating …

Genetic variation at the 19q13.3 KLK locus is linked with prostate cancer susceptibility in men. The non-synonymous KLK3 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17632542 (c.536 T > C; Ile163Thr-substitution in PSA) is associated with reduced prostate …

Solid cancers frequently relapse with distant metastasis, despite local and systemic treatment. Cellular dormancy has been identified as an important mechanism underlying drug resistance enabling late relapse. Therefore, relapse from invisible, minimal …

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) significantly endangers the lives of individuals with Marfan syndrome (MFS), yet the intricacies of their biomechanical origins remain elusive. Our investigation delves into the pivotal role of hemodynamic disturbance in the …

Background: Endometriosis, affecting 10% of women in their reproductive years, remains poorly understood. Both individual and environmental unexplained factors are implicated in this heterogenous condition. This study aims to examine the influence of a …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by localized structural deterioration of the aortic wall, leading to progressive dilatation and rupture. Protease activated receptor 2 (PAR2) dependent signaling has been implicated in the pathophysiology …

Computer-aided segmentation of medical ultrasound images assists in medical diagnosis, promoting accuracy and reducing the burden of sonographers. However, the existing ultrasonic intelligent segmentation models are mainly based on B-mode grayscale …

Periodontitis is a significant independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Yet, the exact mechanism of action is still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of exosomes-miR-155-5p derived from periodontal endothelial cells on …

Deprivation of oxygen and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) severely restrict the antitumor efficiency of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). To address these challs, we report the Bi2MoO6/Prussian Blue-Au (BMO/PB-Au) nanosystem as piezoelectric …

High-frequency ultrasound for assessing the renal characteristics of spontaneous type 2 diabetes mellitus db/db mice …
