[Features of course of pain syndrome in patients with schwannomatosis].

Objective: To identify the characteristics of pain syndrome in patients with schwannomas depending on genetic predisposition.

Material And Methods: The study included 46 patients with peripheral, spinal and intracranial schwannomas, corresponding to the schwannomatosis phenotype according to the 2022 clinical criteria. All patients underwent sequencing of the , and and a copy number study in the .

Photonic-electronic integrated circuit-based coherent LiDAR engine.

Chip-scale integration is a key enabler for the deployment of photonic technologies. Coherent laser ranging or FMCW LiDAR, a perception technology that benefits from instantaneous velocity and distance detection, eye-safe operation, long-range, and immunity to interference. However, wafer-scale integration of these systems has been challenged by stringent requirements on laser coherence, frequency agility, and the necessity for optical amplifiers.

[Gastrointestinal stromal tumors : Where do we stand?].

For more than 20 years gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have been a paradigm for a targeted treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. A fundamental prerequisite for a neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment of localized GIST or an additive treatment of metastatic GIST is the molecular typing of tumors, ideally at the initial diagnosis. In addition, the possibility of a hereditary or syndromic predisposition must be considered because this results in consequences for the treatment and a different follow-up strategy.

Analysis of the Adherent Cell Response to the Substrate Stiffness Using Tensegrity.

Cell's shape is dependent on the cytoskeleton mechanical properties. Hybrid models were developed that combine the discrete structure for the cytoskeleton and continuum parts for other cell organelles. Tensegrity-based structures that consist of tensile and compression elements are useful models to understand the cytoskeleton mechanical behavior.

Fiber chromatographic enabled process intensification increases monoclonal antibody product yield.

The most straightforward method to increase monoclonal antibody (mAb) product yield is to complete the purification process in less steps. Here, three different fiber chromatographic devices were implemented using a holistic approach to intensify the mAb purification process and increase yield. Fiber protein A (proA) chromatography was first investigated, but traditional depth filtration was not sufficient in reducing the contaminant load as the fiber proA device prematurely fouled.
