ABSTRACT Background Drug‐induced hyperpigmentation accounts for 10%–20% of acquired pigmentary disorders and can be misdiagnosed for other causes such as melasma, post inflammatory changes, or heavy metal deposition. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a Southeast Asian plant with an opioid‐like profile, has been increasingly used in the United States for ...

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Why do specific proteins accumulate on “non‐fouling” surfaces? Quantitative proteomics and structural analysis reveal surface‐exposed arginine as the key molecular determinant. ABSTRACT The protein corona determines the biocompatibility of medical devices, yet predicting its composition on anti‐fouling surfaces remains challenging.

Degradation Mechanisms, Encapsulation‐Based Stabilization, and Analytical Detection of Vitamin A
ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an important lipid‐soluble micronutrient essential for vision, immune function, and overall growth and development. However, vitamin A is unstable and susceptible to environmental factors because of its conjugated structure and inherent chemical reactivity.

Reactive Oxygen Species in Breast Cancer: From Redox Dysregulation to ROS‐Responsive Therapeutics
ABSTRACT Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy among women worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases and approximately 670,000 deaths reported in 2022 alone. Despite advances in therapy, metastasis and acquired drug resistance remain major clinical challenges.

This study identified two metabolically distinct thrombus molecular subtypes in AIS: a lipid metabolism‐enriched subtype (C1) associated with cardioembolic stroke and poor functional outcomes, and a folate metabolism‐enriched subtype (C2) linked to atherothrombotic stroke and better prognosis. A six‐metabolite signature further demonstrated exploratory

Associations Between Microbial Depletion and Autonomic Dysregulation in Binge‐Eating Disorder
ABSTRACT Objective The interplay between the gut microbiome and autonomic nervous system remains unexplored in binge‐eating disorder (BED). We aimed to explore specific microbial alterations in BED and examine their potential association with cardiac vagal tone as a distinct bio‐behavioral phenotype.
