The impact of nodule size on malignancy risk in indeterminate thyroid nodules.

Background: The association between malignancy risk and nodule size in indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITNs) remains controversial. Thus, we aimed to explore the impact of nodule size as a predictor of cancer in patients with ITNs.

Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed 113 patients who underwent surgical intervention for ITNs, comparing two groups based on nodule size (≥4 or <4 cm).

A Parkinson's disease model composed of 3D bioprinted dopaminergic neurons within a biomimetic peptide scaffold.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is associated with lost dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the, a process that is not yet fully understood. To understand this deleterious disorder, there is an immense need to develop efficientthree-dimensional (3D) models that can recapitulate complex organs such as the brain.

Fabrication of a Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid In-Field Detection of COVID-19 Antibodies Using Additive Manufacturing Printing Technologies.

The development of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using three-dimensional (3D) printing and bioprinting technologies can enhance and accelerate the optimization process of the fabrication. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to investigate methods to speed up the developing process of a LFIA as a tool for community screening. To achieve this goal, an in-house developed robotic arm and microfluidic pumps were used to print the proteins during the development of the test.
