Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on analyzing the outcomes of different molecular subtypes of breast cancer in a resource-limited setting in north India, specifically looking at data from 944 female patients treated between 2014-2018.
  • Findings reveal that HR+HER2- was the most common subtype and had the best overall survival rates, while HR-HER2- showed the poorest outcomes across various patient categories.
  • The conclusion emphasizes the urgent need for better access to personalized treatment options, especially for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, to improve long-term survival rates.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder that develops over decades. AD brain proteomics reveals vast alterations in protein levels and numerous altered biologic pathways. Here, we compare AD brain proteome and network changes with the brain proteomes of amyloid β (Aβ)-depositing mice to identify conserved and divergent protein networks with the conserved networks identifying an Aβ amyloid responsome.

Combining the photoisomerization of molecules with an electrical device is important for developing optoelectronic devices. Field effect transistors (FETs) with atomically thin channels are suitable for this purpose because the FET properties respond to chemical changes in molecules. Since the photoisomerization wavelength of the switching molecules can be tuned, complex logic operations can be realized if a specific molecule is delivered to the target FET of an integrated circuit.
