13C background signal, obtained for an empty rotor, was shown by spin counting experiments to be equivalent to 1 mg of observable carbon for cross-polarization (CP) spectra and 69 mg of observable C for Bloch decay (BD) spectra. The BD background was mainly due to Kel-F in the stator. with minimal signal detected from the Kel-F end-caps. The CP background was attributed to non-Kel-F components of the stator, probe, or probe supports. The BD background signal was eliminated by using a modified dipolar dephasing pulse sequence in which the absence of 19F decoupling (rather than the absence of 1H decoupling) causes selective elimination of the Kel-F signal.

Background: Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Environmental factors, specifically endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), like phthalates, are increasingly being linked to cancer development. Phthalates, widely used in consumer products, can activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR).

Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors have significantly improved the survival of patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, becoming a first-line treatment option. However, the development of resistance to these inhibitors is inevitable. To address this challenge, novel strategies are required to overcome resistance, necessitating a deeper understanding of its mechanisms.

Background: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the most common tick-borne viral infection in Eurasia. Outcomes range from asymptomatic infection to fatal encephalitis, with host genetics likely playing a role. BALB/c mice have intermediate susceptibility to TBE virus (TBEV) and STS mice are highly resistant, whereas the recombinant congenic strain CcS-11, which carries 12.

Background: Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, demonstrates significant clinical heterogeneity, ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive metastatic disease. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains associated with poor survival. SLC1A5, a key glutamine transporter, plays a dual role in promoting tumor growth and immune modulation.
