Plasmodium falciparum is a major cause of severe malaria. This protozoan infects human red blood cells and secretes large quantities of histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) into the bloodstream, making it a well-known diagnostic marker. Here, however, we identified PfHRP2 as a pathogenic factor produced by P.

- Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a very aggressive cancer, and recent research shows that cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs) influence tumor progression through specific exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs).* -
- In a study, exosomal miR-199a-3p was found to be significantly elevated in CAAs and promoted cancer cell growth, invasion, and drug resistance by modulating key signaling pathways.* -
- High levels of miR-199a-3p were linked to poor patient outcomes for PDAC, indicating its potential as a valuable biomarker and target for treatment.*
Introduction: One of the factors that makes robot-assisted nephroureterectomy difficult is that the optimal port position differs between nephrectomy and bladder cuff excision. In addition, how best to retrieve the specimen after resection while minimizing the size of the wound is a challenge in robot-assisted surgery. To solve these problems, we designed a surgical technique for robot-assisted nephroureterectomy using the GelPoint Platform with a focus on port position optimization and specimen retrieval.
