Levels of tissue oxygenation and collagen regeneration are critical indicators in the early evaluation of wound healing. Traditionally, these factors have been assessed using separate instruments and different methodologies. Here, we adopt the spatially averaged phosphorescence lifetime approach using Re-diimine complexes (Re-probe) to enable simultaneous quantification of these two critical factors in healing wounds.

Objective: Glucose metabolism plays a crucial role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study is to identify genes related to glucose metabolism in AD by bioinformatics, construct an early AD prediction model from the perspective of glucose metabolism, and analyze the characteristics of immune cell infiltration.

Methods: AD-related modules and genes were screened by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).

Basic helix‑loop‑helix family member e41 (BHLHE41) serves an important role in regulating cell differentiation, circadian rhythms and the response to hypoxia. However, the roles of BHLHE41 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of BHLHE41 in ccRCC and investigate the effect of downregulated BHLHE41 on the growth and migration of ccRCC cells.

Background: Uncoordinated 51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) plays a vital role in autophagy. ULK1 dysregulation has recently been found in several human cancers.

Methods: mRNA expression levels of ULK1 and clinical information were analysed from The Cancer Genome Atlas data.
