3‐Year Outcomes of Temperature‐Controlled Radiofrequency Ablation of the Posterior Nasal Nerve in Patients With Chronic Rhinitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) ablation of the posterior nasal nerve has been shown to improve chronic rhinitis (CR) symptoms and quality of life (QoL). This study assesses the durability of TCRF's effectiveness and safety 3 years post‐procedure in patients with perennial allergic CR and nonallergic CR.

Label‐Free Microscale Technologies for Isolation of Heterogeneous Circulating Tumor Cells

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from liquid biopsy samples is crucial for cancer treatment and monitoring. This review evaluates primary label‐free isolation methods for capturing heterogeneous CTCs and examines their potential to provide deeper insights into tumor heterogeneity and dynamics of cancer progression.

Harnessing μ‐X‐Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy as a Tool to Assess Extracellular Vesicle‐Induced Biomineralization

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study presents an innovative approach to evaluate cell‐mediated biomineralization using μ‐X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy. By generating elemental maps, the evaluation of mineral deposition by osteoblasts can be assessed in terms of both spatial distribution and degree of maturity.
