- * Quantum dots (QDs), a type of engineered nanoparticle, are highlighted as promising tools for gene delivery, particularly to retinal cells, due to their unique properties such as photoluminescence and biocompatibility.
- * The study reviews the criteria for using QDs in gene delivery, including their physical and chemical traits, and presents findings that support their potential in biomedical applications like biosensing and drug delivery.
Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia is a rare event in post-liver-transplantation recipients. In the present report, we described a case of extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia, M/M subtype, following orthotopic liver transplant.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 50-year-old Iranian woman who underwent orthotopic liver transplant due to hepatitis B-related cirrhosis (Child C, MELD (model for end-stage liver disease score) = 22).
