Abstract Purpose To investigate the feasibility of adapting a commercial prostate biopsy system for transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)‐guided hybrid gynecological (GYN) high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT). Leveraging 3D‐TRUS and MR image fusion, the prototype system aims to improve real‐time needle placement accuracy.

CNS Mitochondria‐Derived Vesicle in Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Brain Mitochondria Dysfunction
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Our goal was to develop practical, noninvasive methods to assess mitochondrial status through the detection of mitochondria‐derived vesicles (MDVs).

Mucus Physically Restricts Influenza A Viral Particle Access to the Epithelium
The infectious potential of respiratory viruses depends on their ability to navigate through a layer of mucus that serves as a protective barrier in the lung. It is demonstrated that influenza A virus penetration through mucus is significantly limited by the gel's internal microstructure and, to a lesser extent, by adhesive binding to mucin glycans ...

Silica-coated admixtures of bismuth and gadolinium oxides for 3D printed concrete applications: Rheology, hydration, strength, microstructure, and radiation shielding perspective [PDF]
This study examines the impact of replacing up to 5 vol% of Portland cement (PC) with both pristine Bi2O3/Gd2O3 (BG) and silica-coated BG particles. Two different types of silica coatings, each with varying synthesis methods, were applied to coat the BG structures, and their impact on the fresh, hardened, microstructure and radiation-shielding ...

Depletion of TP53 in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Triggers Malignant‐Like Behavior
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) with TP53‐depleting mutations are generated, mimicking commonly occurring events in vitro. Loss of TP53 does not alter pluripotency status or in vitro differentiation potential but causes genetic instability and transcriptome changes and confers superior clonal and anchorage‐free growth and higher chemotherapeutic ...
