Epitope is the basic functional motif of antigen inducing immune response. In immunological research and medical practice, the identification and selection of epitopes are the key points. This paper reviews the current progress of the epitope research and its application in disease diagnosis, vaccine research, disease treatment and other fields.

Trends in prescribing montelukast in patients with asthma in real-life: Results from the Turkish adult asthma registry.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)

Department of Chest Disease, Division of Immunology and Allergy, Ankara University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey.
Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) approved for the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis, is widely used, though real-world data on its application in asthma management remain limited. This registry-based study evaluated the use of montelukast in adult asthma patients, examining demographic and disease characteristics, asthma control status, asthma phenotypes, presence of atopy, and treatment regimens. Among 2053 patients analyzed, 61.

Objective: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) is effective in treating major depressive disorder (MDD) with childhood trauma, and virtual reality (VR) can further extend its application form. However, the utilization of VR-EMDR in treating MDD with childhood trauma is still in its infancy, and whether it can improve depressive symptoms and traumatic experience remains unknown.
Method: Seventy-two MDD patients were randomly allocated to the intervention group and the wait-list control group on a 1:1 basis.
Due to its heavy reliance on convenience samples (CSs), developmental science has a generalizability problem that clouds its broader applicability and frustrates replicability. The surest solution to this problem is to make better use, where feasible, of probability samples, which afford clear generalizability. Because CSs that are homogeneous on one or more sociodemographic factor may afford a clearer generalizability than heterogeneous CSs, the use of homogeneous CSs instead of heterogeneous CSs may also help mitigate this generalizability problem.

This study aims to reveal the transduction signaling network that triggers sea cucumber () autolysis. The tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics and transcriptomic techniques were used to analyze expression differences between inhibited and activated sea cucumber autolysis. Flow cytometry was used to identify apoptosis.

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) demonstrate outstanding biocompatibility and optical properties, making them ideal for monitoring cellular uptake. Due to their ultra-small size (typically < 10 nm) and fluorescent nature, CQDs hold significant potential as nanoparticles for bioimaging and tracking intracellular processes. The study examined the optimization parameters for conjugating calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) to CQDs to facilitate Ct-DNA internalization in mouse fibroblast cells (L929) and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7).
