Enhanced CRISPR‐cas systems for genome editing and molecular diagnostics
This review systematically summarizes the major optimization strategies for CRISPR‐Cas systems, focusing on the engineering of Cas proteins, guide RNAs, reporter probes, and the incorporation of chemical additives. The aim is to enhance editing precision and diagnostic capability, thereby expanding the CRISPR system's potential for broader biomedical ...

We detect the risk factors and image characteristics of incidentally detected IAAD. Independent risk factors of IAAD included fatty liver and smoking. In the ultrasound findings of IAAD, an intimal flap was frequently observed. In the CT scan, displacement of intimal calcifications was frequently observed. For suspected IAAD, the abdominal aorta should

ABSTRACT Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide, and postoperative recurrence continues to limit long‐term survival. Liver‐resident natural killer (NK) cells are key effectors of antitumor immunity in the hepatic microenvironment. Interleukin‐37 (IL‐37), an anti‐inflammatory cytokine, has

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.
