Purpose: There is a need for a simple, non-invasive, and easily accessible 3D imaging technique for the anophthalmic socket to create imaging data for future 3D printing of prostheses. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using a novel …

Calcium ion (Ca2+) overload therapy has emerged as a promising approach for regulating mitochondrial functions and inducing immunogenic cell death. However, the limited intramitochondrial Ca2+ levels and immunosuppressive microenvironment significantly …

Objective: To compare the sensitivity of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the detection of Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) at different grades with that of high frequency ultrasound (US), and to investigate whether PAI can evaluate IUA noninvasively and …

Objectives: To investigate the accuracy of ultrasound in the quantification of tumor thickness (TT) and depth of invasion (DOI) of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and methods: A systematic review search was …

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), albeit usually asymptomatic, is highly lethal if ruptured. The 28-member transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel superfamily, most of which are present in the aortic cells, is understudied in AAA. We aim …

Background & Aims: Effective anti-fibrotic drugs and new non-invasive evaluation methods for liver fibrosis (LF) are urgently needed. Our study aimed to evaluate the histological effects of the Qizhu (QZ) formula on LF and to explore a non-invasive …

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 …
