Article Synopsis
- The study examines the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic HCV infections and liver cirrhosis, highlighting that this risk persists even after successful antiviral treatment.* -
- Researchers analyzed natural killer (NK) cell profiles in patients with cirrhosis, finding significant differences between those who developed HCC and those who did not, with specific markers (TIM-3 and CD38) indicating a higher likelihood of cancer development.* -
- The findings suggest that monitoring NK cell signatures could serve as an effective tool for early assessment of HCC risk in cirrhotic patients who have been treated for HCV.*
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was employed to analyse cellulose viscose fibres treated with different chitosan-based solutions. The analysis reports several new features in the TOF-SIMS spectra for systems with various forms of chitosan-treated surfaces. The characteristic positive ion TOF-SIMS signals for chitosan are reported at m/z 147.

In this study, the interaction of fluorescein isothiocyanate functionalized bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) with cellulose surfaces decorated with trimethyl chitosan (TMC) is investigated. Two types of TMC, one exhibiting a lower and one with a higher degree of cationization are used for protein adsorption. The adsorption is carried out at different pH values and concentrations of the protein solution.

As model proteins, fluorescently labeled bovine serum albumins (FITC-BSA, TRITC-BSA) have been employed. The amount of proteins on such cationically rendered surfaces was quantified by QCM-D.
