Aims: Since many biomarkers of both the tumor and its microenvironment are expected to involve differential expression of divalent proteins capable of protein or peptide ligand interaction, we are developing multivalent nanodevices for the identification of biomarkers in prostate cancer.
Patients & Methods: We compared a multivalent thioredoxin-targeted nanodevice with monovalent thioredoxin in binding to human prostate cell line(s) and freshly frozen tissue specimens obtained after resection from patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer.
Conclusion: The nanodevice binds specifically with enhanced avidity to tumor microenvironment-associated stromal cells in prostate cancer tissue specimens. Cells that bind the nanodevice also reacted with antibodies to dimeric thioredoxin reductases 1 and 2, suggesting the utility of the nanodevice as a potentially specific and functional marker of tumor stromal cells.

Background: As a prevalent and deadly malignant tumor, the treatment outcomes for late-stage patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) are often suboptimal. Previous studies have shown that tumor progression is closely related with tumor metabolism and microenvironment reshaping, with disruptions in energy metabolism playing a critical role in this process. To delve deeper into the understanding of CSCC development, our research focused on analyzing the tumor microenvironment and metabolic characteristics across different regions of tumor tissue.

Background/aim: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (ANETs) are the most prevalent type of appendiceal neoplasm and the fifth most common neuroendocrine tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we described the clinicopathological features of patients with ANET.
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the clinicopathological findings and histopathological reports of six patients diagnosed with ANET between January 2014 and December 2023 at Korea University Medical Center, Anam Hospital.

The extracellular domain (ECD) of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) serves as a promising biomarker for the early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (BC). However, due to the heterogeneity of tumors, assessing HER2 status through a core needle biopsy presents significant challenges. In this study, we propose a facile and high-performance electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) platform utilizing a herceptin-encapsulated gold nanoclusters (HER-AuNCs)/(diisopropylamino)ethanol (DIPEA-OH) ECL system for the clinical evaluation of HER2 ECD in BC patients.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the toothbrushing wear on both enamel and dentin surfaces of reference and commercially available dentifrices.
Methods: Bovine enamel and dentin blocks were initially polished and embedded within a resin composite in square shapes (10×8×6 mm3). Employing toothbrushes equipped with nylon bristles, a toothbrushing machine was utilized, subjecting dentin specimens (n = 36) to 500 brush cycles and enamel samples to 5000 brush cycles (n = 36).
