Purpose: The positron range effect can impair PET image quality of Gallium-68 (Ga). A positron range correction (PRC) can be applied to reduce this effect. In this study, the effect of a tissue-independent PRC for Ga was investigated on patient data.

Women face unique and multifaceted challenges throughout their lifespans, shaped by biological, societal, and health care-related factors. These challenges have led to gender disparities in disease burden, access to care, and representation in medical research, underscoring the need to increase targeted investments in women's health. Historically, research on diseases that disproportionately affect women has been underfunded, hindering progress in closing gender health gaps.

Cell-free synthetic biology incorporates purified components and/or crude cell extracts to carry out metabolic and genetic programs. While protein synthesis has historically been the primary focus, more metabolism researchers are now turning toward cell-free systems either to prototype pathways for cellular implementation or to design new-to-nature reaction networks that incorporate environmentally relevant substrates or new energy sources. The ability to design, build, and test enzyme combinations has accelerated efforts to understand metabolic bottlenecks and engineer high-yielding pathways.

Increased virulence and drug resistance in species of resulted in reduced disease control and further demand the development of potent antifungal drugs. The repurposing of non-antifungal drugs and combination therapy has become an attractive alternative to counter the emerging drug resistance and toxicity of existing antifungal drugs against and non-albicans species. This study aimed to accelerate antifungal drug development process by drug repurposing approach.

We investigated whether various modified cyclodextrins (CDs) and emulsifiers could be applied as dispersing agents in ready biodegradability tests of poorly water-soluble substances. Trimethylated α-, β-, and γ-CDs and partially methylated β-CD were not biodegraded in the test period but accelerated the biodegradation of octabenzone and anthraquinone. The process by which trimethylated α-, β-, and γ-CDs enhance the biodegradation of test substances has been partially uncovered.
