The clinical applications of particulate drug delivery systems have demonstrated limited treatment out- comes, which is largely attributable to the elimination of such systems by the immune system, especially in the liver. Inspired by the mechanism of …

Influenza virus primarily targets the lungs, but dissemination and damage to heart tissue is also known to occur in severe infections. Despite this knowledge, influenza virus-induced cardiac pathogenesis and its underlying mechanisms have been difficult …

Implantation is a sensitive window in reproductive development during which disruptions may increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes including intrauterine growth restriction. Ozone exposure during implantation in rats reduces fetal weight near the …

Recently, our group demonstrated that immobilized VEGF can capture flowing endothelial cells (ECs) fromthebloodin vitroandpromoteendothelializationandpatencyof acellular tissue–engineeredvessels (A-TEVs) into the arterial systemof an ovine animal model. …

Mast cells (MCs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases by releasing pro-inflammatory mediators. Patients and animals with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) also show inflammatory cell accumulation in the heart. Here we detected …

BACKGROUND Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is a new discovered member of the interleukin family and plays anti-inflammatory effect in some inflammatory disease. A recent study found that IL-37 elevated significantly in peripheral blood of patients with acute …

Group III Pulmonary hypertension is observed in patients chronic lung diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) develops as a result of extensive pulmonary vascular …

The presence of disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) in bone marrow is predictive of poor metastasis-free survival of patients with breast cancer with localized disease. DTCs persist in distant tissues despite systemic administration of adjuvant che- …

Gold nanoparticles have been thoroughly used in designing thermal ablative therapies and photoacoustic imaging for cancer owing to their unique and tunable plasmonic properties. While plasmonic properties highly depend on size and structure, controllable …
