Extracellular vesicles: from intracellular trafficking molecules to fully fortified delivery vehicles for cancer therapeutics.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as viable tools in cancer treatment due to their ability to carry a wide range of theranostic activities. This review summarizes different forms of EVs such as exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and oncosomes. It also sheds the light onto isolation methodologies, characterization techniques and therapeutic applications of all discussed EVs.

Left Compartmentectomy for Adult-Type Granulosa Tumor of the Retroperitoneum: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Granulosa tumors are rare tumors arising from the cells of the sexual cord and stroma of the ovary. They account for 5% of ovarian cancers and 70% of stromal cancers of the sex cords. Retroperitoneal tumors (RPTs) are also rare and develop in the retroperitoneal and subperitoneal space.

Is CT pulmonary angiography overutilized in the evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism? A retrospective study.

Introduction: Despite the high mortality rate of acute untreated pulmonary embolism (PE) at 30%, diagnosing PE is challenging. While the prevalence of PE has decreased in recent years, the overuse of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) remains a concern. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) provides guidelines using the Wells score for PE assessment.

Ameliorative role of camel protein hydrolysates diet against alkaline stress in Oreochrmis niloticus: Hematology, immune responses and their regulating genes expression, and histopathological assays.

This investigation looked at the ameliorative role of camel whey protein hydrolysates-diet (PH) in Oreochromis niloticus stocked under alkaline conditions. One hundred sixty fish (16.02 ± 0.

Synthesis and evaluation of amino acid ionic liquid for enhanced oil recovery: experimental and modeling simulation studies.

Recovering the remaining oil after primary and secondary extraction methods poses a significant challenge. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, which involve injecting fluids into reservoirs, aim to increase recovery rates. Ionic liquids, known for their adaptability, are emerging as promising agents in EOR, improving oil displacement by reshaping fluid properties and interacting with reservoir rocks.
