Protein serine/threonine phosphatases in tumor microenvironment: a vital player and a promising therapeutic target.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is involved in cancer initiation and progression. With advances in the TME field, numerous therapeutic approaches, such as antiangiogenic treatment and immune checkpoint inhibitors, have been inspired and developed. Nevertheless, the sophisticated regulatory effects on the biological balance of the TME remain unclear.

Millisecond-level transient heating and temperature monitoring technique for ultrasound-induced thermal strain imaging.

Ultrasound-induced thermal strain imaging (US-TSI) is a promising ultrasound imaging modality that has been demonstrated in preclinical studies to identify a lipid-rich necrotic core of an atherosclerotic plaque. However, human physiological motion, e.g.

Emerging nanoprobes for the features visualization of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. In particular, the unpredictable rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques (VASPs) can cause serious cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and even sudden death. Therefore, early evaluation of the vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques is of great importance.
