We report the first successful orthotopic engraftment of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in immunosuppressed microminipigs and demonstrate high‐contrast near‐infrared fluorescence endoscopic detection using EGFR‐targeted cetuximab. This large‐animal model bridges preclinical imaging research and future clinical translation in esophageal cancer.

S1 Guideline on Infected Interdigital Intertrigo (also called Gram‐Negative Toe Web Infection)
Summary Infected interdigital intertrigo is an exudative, macerating, mixed infection of the toe webs in which gram‐negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacterales) seem prevalent, but in which gram‐positive pathogens (Staphylococcus [S.] aureus, streptococci, enterococci) and fungi (dermatophytes, yeasts) also occur.

Prevalence and Predictors of Urinary Tract Infection and Severe Malaria Among Febrile Children Attending Makongoro Health Centre in Mwanza City, North-Western Tanzania. [PDF]
In malaria endemic areas, fever has been used as an entry point for presumptive treatment of malaria. At present, the decrease in malaria transmission in Africa implies an increase in febrile illnesses related to other causes among underfives.

This study investigates the modularity of encapsulin—a protein nanoparticle—by simultaneously inserting up to four distinct Salmonella epitopes within the encapsulin subunit. The encapsulin variants were transiently expressed in plants where they assembled into nanoparticles; however, their accumulation and stability varied depending on the ...
