IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...

Diagnostic value of pleural fluid and serum C-reactive protein/albumin ratio in exudate/transudate, infectious/non-infectious pleural fluid discrimination

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
As a new parameter, the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) has been shown to be more accurate than CRP and albumin alone in predicting the diagnosis and overall prognosis in cancer, sepsis, and vascular and non-vascular conditions.

Architecture‐Driven Sensor Stability in Weft‐Knitted Engineering Textiles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Textile‐integrated sensor architectures are systematically compared to evaluate their electromechanical behavior under combined mechanical and environmental loading. Pocket‐based integration exhibits stable and reproducible signals, whereas tunnel‐based routing shows higher sensitivity accompanied by increased variability.

Role of C-Reactive Protein in Discrimination between Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions

Diagnostics, 2021
Background: There is still no wide agreement regarding the efficacy of the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRPs), pleural fluid levels of CRP (CRPpf), and their ratio (CRPr) in the discrimination between transudative (Tr) and exudative (Ex) pleural ...

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

Identification and Analysis of Antimicrobial Activities from a Model Moss Ceratodon purpureus

Metabolites, 2023
The emergence of bacterial drug resistance is often viewed as the next great health crisis of our time. While more antimicrobial agents are urgently needed, very few new antibiotics are currently in the production pipeline.

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Development, structure, and secretion of leaf colleters in Clusia criuva Cambess. subsp. criuva (Clusiaceae)

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022
Colleters produce a secretion composed of hydrophilic and/or lipophilic substances which lubricates and protects the shoot apical meristem against biotic and abiotic agents. Little attention has been given to these structures in Clusiaceae.

Exudate components exert different influences on microbially mediated C losses in simulated rhizosphere soils of a spruce plantation

, 2017
Root exudates play a vital role in driving ecosystem carbon (C) cycling; however, few studies have examined the degree to which a specific exudate component affects soil C loss.
