Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the leading form of senile dementia, affecting ∼6 million Americans and having a national economic impact of $321 billion, numbers expected to double by 2050. The major pathological hallmarks of AD include Amyloid Beta (Aβ) plaques and Tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The first goal of this research was to develop novel forms of carbon dots (CD) using various precursors.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder whose pathological hallmarks include tau and amyloid beta aggregation, a phenomenon that has been linked to inflammation and degradation of brain tissue. Prior data published in the Wang lab suggests that carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from citric acid and urea can inhibit aggregation. We sought to characterize the inhibitory effects of a new class of CDs synthesized from varied ratios of Congo red and citric acid.

The prognostic significance of the red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) spans various diseases, yet its utility as a biomarker for hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) remains unclear. We retrospectively studied 1,413 patients with HBV-HCC. Receiver operating characteristic curves identified optimal RAR cut-offs, stratifying patients into H-RAR and L-RAR groups.

Optical tweezers, which leverage the forces exerted by radiation pressure, have emerged as a pivotal technique for precisely manipulating and analyzing microscopic particles. Since Arthur Ashkin's ground-breaking work in the 1970s and the subsequent development of the single-beam optical trap in 1986, the capabilities of optical tweezers have expanded significantly, enabling the intricate manipulation of biological specimens at the micro- and nanoscale. This review elucidates the foundational principles of optical trapping and their extensive applications in the biomedical sciences.

Background: Thymoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm originating from thymic epithelial cells, often associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes can manifest as a range of autoimmune disorders, including myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, and aplastic anemia. Clinical trials involving the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in thymoma have been complicated by a high incidence of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs).
