Background: Recent studies have demonstrated a greater risk of dementia in female veterans compared to civilians; with the highest prevalence noted for former service women with a diagnosis of psychiatric (trauma, alcoholism, depression), and/or a physical health condition (brain injury, insomnia, diabetes). Such findings highlight the need for increased and early screening of medical and psychiatric conditions, and indeed dementia, in the female veteran population. Further, they call for a better understanding of the underlying biopsychosocial mechanisms that might confer heightened risk for female veterans, to tailor preventative and interventional strategies that support brain health across the lifespan.

Curcumin-coated iron oxide nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy of breast cancer.

Photochem Photobiol Sci

January 2025

Nanosensors Laboratory, Research & Development Institute, University of Vale do Paraíba, Av. Shishima Hifumi, 2911, Urbanova, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil.

Breast cancer is the deadliest cancer among women and its treatment using traditional methods leads the patient to experience adverse effects. However, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapy modality that works through a photosensitizing agent, which treating activated by a suitable light source, releases reactive oxygen species capable of treating cancer. Furthermore, recent research indicates that combining PDT and nanoparticles can enhance therapeutic effects.

Unlocking a Decade of Research on Embryo-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Discoveries Made and Paths Ahead.

Stem Cell Rev Rep

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Reproduction and Population Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ghent, Salisburylaan 133, Merelbeke, B-9820, Belgium.

Over the past decade, research on embryo-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) has unveiled their critical roles in embryonic development and intercellular communication. EVs secreted by embryos are nanoscale lipid bilayer vesicles that carry bioactive cargo, including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and DNAs, reflecting the physiological state of the source cells. These vesicles facilitate paracrine and autocrine signaling, influencing key processes such as cell differentiation, embryo viability, and endometrial receptivity.

Classifying the molecular subtype of breast cancer using vision transformer and convolutional neural network features.

Breast Cancer Res Treat

January 2025

Department of Radiological Technology, Faculty of Medical Technology, Niigata University of Health and Welfare, 1398 Shimamichou, Kita-Ku, Niigata, Japan.

Purpose: Identification of the molecular subtypes in breast cancer allows to optimize treatment strategies, but usually requires invasive needle biopsy. Recently, non-invasive imaging has emerged as promising means to classify them. Magnetic resonance imaging is often used for this purpose because it is three-dimensional and highly informative.

Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis: Current and Emerging Therapies.

Curr Cardiol Rep

January 2025

The Pauley Heart Center, Virginia Commonwealth University, 1200 East Broad Street West Hospital, 8th Floor, West Wing, Richmond, VA, 23231, USA.

Purpose Of Review: In this article, we describe current and newer TTR stabilizers, TTR silencers which include small interfering RNA agents (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, and TTR depleters, which investigates the use of monoclonal antibodies to remove amyloid fibril deposits for patients with advanced disease.

Recent Findings: Once thought to be a rare and fatal condition, increased recognition, improved non-invasive diagnostic tools, and the explosive development of novel therapies, has transformed the landscape of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Advances in cardiac imaging with respect to echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and radionuclide bone scintigraphy has increased the diagnosis of ATTR-CM over the last twenty years.
