Exposure to altered gravity influences cellular behaviour in cell cultures. Hydrogels are amongst the most common materials used to produce tissue-engineering scaffolds, and their mechanical properties play a crucial role in cell-matrix interaction. However, little is known about the influence of altered gravity on hydrogel properties.

- Transcranial focused ultrasound (TFUS) is a new technique designed to temporarily change brain activity, and its impact on the default mode network (DMN) was unexplored before this study.
- The research involved 30 healthy participants who underwent either active TFUS or sham treatment, with assessments of brain connectivity and subjective effects on mood, mindfulness, and self-awareness before and after the procedure.
- Results showed that active TFUS significantly altered DMN connectivity and affected participants' mindfulness and sense of self, indicating its potential for both research and therapeutic applications.
Introduction: Despite several therapeutic efforts, lung cancer remains a highly lethal disease. Novel therapeutic approaches encompass immune-checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapeutics and antibody-drug conjugates, with different results. Several studies have been aimed at identifying biomarkers able to predict benefit from these therapies and create a prediction model of response, despite this there is a lack of information to help clinicians in the choice of therapy for lung cancer patients with advanced disease.
