Guanosine‐Quadruplex Hydrogels as Dynamic, Mechanically Tunable and Ion Conductive 3D Scaffolds for Cell Culture Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Versatile guanosine‐quadruplex (GQ) hydrogels are developed as dynamic biomatrices for cell culture. These scaffolds are fabricated under mild aqueous conditions, present improved stability, tunable mechanical properties within physiological ranges; fibrillar, porous microstructure, ion conductivity, and cytocompatibility.

Multiomics identifies the link between intratumor steatosis and the exhausted tumor immune microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Steatotic HCC can be diagnosed by MRI and forms a pro‐tumor immune microenvironment with high expression of PD‐L1, M2 polarization of macrophages and activation of CAFs, which may be a good target for combined immunotherapy. Abstract Background and Aims Immunotherapy has become the standard‐of‐care treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its ...

Non-visualized Thyroid Gland by Tc-99m MIBI Scan with Normal Thyroid Scan [PDF]

Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2013
We present the case of a 21-year-old man who was referred to us for parathyroid scintigraphy with high blood levels of intact parathormone and osteoporosis. Several methods and radiopharmaceuticals, e.g., Tc-99m MIBI and Tl-201 chloride/Tc-99m pertechnetate (Tl-201/TcPO−4) subtraction, are commonly used for this purpose.

Thyroid “claw sign” a useful diagnostic marker in the outsized lesions of isthmus: A large colloid cyst.

Radiology Case Reports, 2021
Thyroid isthmus lesions are generally small sized and can be solid or cystic. Discerning isthmic origin of a large nodule, especially if purely cystic, can become a diagnostic challenge because of thin thyroid tissue in it.

Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Multitask Deep Learning Model for Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis and Disease‐Free Survival From Cytology Images in Bladder Cancer: A Multicenter Study With Pan‐Cytology Validation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through self‐supervised pretraining and supervised fine‐tuning on large‐scale cytology image datasets, CytoNet predicts lymph node metastasis and survival. Across independent cohorts, this multitask framework demonstrates robust performance, improves risk stratification beyond radiological assessment, and provides interpretable evidence to support ...

Intrasplenic Thymus Organogenesis from Injectable Tissue Fragments Restores Functional T‐Cell Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Clinical intramuscular thymus transplantation yields only short‐lived efficacy and marginal therapeutic benefits. Benefiting from the spleen's intrinsic strengths—rapid vascular perfusion, abundant developmental factors, and resident progenitors—the intrasplenic thymic grafts achieve robust thymic regeneration and substantial T‐cell reconstitution ...

TH/TRs–COL11A2 Axis Mediates Loss of a Differentiated Astrocyte State in Hypogyrified Brains

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a gyrencephalic congenital hypothyroidism pig model, this study reveals cerebral atrophy and cortical hypogyrification. Single‐cell sequencing identifies astrocytes as major TH‐responsive cells, with the COL11A2‐enriched Astro‐2 state nearly absent.

When the Number Matters: Contextualising Australian Reference Values for ⁹⁹ᵐTc-Pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake. [PDF]

J Med Radiat Sci
Are the historical 1%–4% thyroid uptake reference values still valid in modern practice? This editorial examines why contemporary Australian and international data suggest otherwise and situates the new reference range reported by Wornes (https://doi.org/10.1002/jmrs.70078) and colleagues within the broader international literature.
