Read MoreKinetically Controlled Polyelectrolyte Complex Assembly of microRNA-Peptide Nanoparticles toward Treating Mesothelioma
Advanced Materials 2024 March 26 [Link] Caleb F Anderson, Anand Singh, Tyler Stephens, Chuong D Hoang, Joel P Schneider Abstract Broad size distributions and poor long-term colloidal stability of microRNA-carrying nanoparticles, especially those formed by polyelectrolyte complexation, represent major hurdles in realizing their clinical translation. Herein, peptide design is used alongside optimized flash nanocomplexation (FNC)…

Read MoreReliably making the primary diagnosis of mesothelioma utilizing serous fluid cytology specimens: an institutional experience
Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology 2024 March 2 [Link] Terri E Jones, Daniel L Geisler, Swikrity Upadhyay Baskota, N Paul Ohori, Jacqueline Cuda, Samer N Khader Abstract Introduction: The diagnosis of mesothelioma has historically been challenging, especially on serous fluid cytology (SFC). Distinguishing between reactive and neoplastic mesothelial cells can be difficult on…
Read MoreInvestigation of the appropriate viscosity of fibrinogen in repairing pleural defects using ventilation and anchoring in an ex vivo pig model
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery 2024 March 21 [Link] Akihiro Fukuda, Masaki Hashimoto, Yoshitaka Takegawa, Nobuyuki Kondo, Seiki Hasegawa Abstract Objective: Our previous study revealed that the viscosity of fibrinogen could influence the effectiveness of ventilation and anchoring (V/A) methods for controlling air leakages. Here, we examined the association between the viscosity of fibrinogen and effectiveness…
