Limited proteolysis combined with mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) facilitates probing structural changes on a proteome-wide scale. This method leverages differences in the proteinase K accessibility of native protein structures to concurrently assess structural alterations for thousands of proteins in situ. Distinguishing different contributions to the LiP-MS signal, such as changes in protein abundance or chemical modifications, from structural protein alterations remains challenging.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasingly offered for the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

However, little is known about the working relationships between pharmacies and public health entities. This exploratory study describes independent community pharmacists' perceptions during COVID-19 of both pre-existing and newly created relationships with public health.

Augmenting 177 Lu-PSMA-617 RLT with the alpha-emitter 225 Ac-PSMA-617 may present an escalating treatment option to increase efficacy. In this study, we aim to evaluate outcome and safety of 225 Ac-PSMA-617 augmentation to 177 Lu-PSMA-617 RLT in patients who present insufficient response to monotherapy with 177 Lu-PSMA-617 RLT.

We aimed to characterize the association of echocardiographic parameters of atrial cardiomyopathy with cognitive function and cerebral changes.
