Here we describe how a (19)F-probe incorporated into an endogenous protein by a chemical biology method revealed protein dynamics. By explicit determination of ligand-bound and unbound structures with X-ray crystallography, the quantitative comparison of the protein's dynamics in live cells and in vitro is presented. These results clearly demonstrated the greater conformational fluctuations of the intracellular protein, partially due to macromolecular crowding effects.

Characterizing cell-type spatial relationships across length scales in spatially resolved omics data.
Nat Commun

Spatially resolved omics (SRO) technologies enable the identification of cell types while preserving their organization within tissues. Application of such technologies offers the opportunity to delineate cell-type spatial relationships, particularly across different length scales, and enhance our understanding of tissue organization and function. To quantify such multi-scale cell-type spatial relationships, we present CRAWDAD, Cell-type Relationship Analysis Workflow Done Across Distances, as an open-source R package.

Background: Tubular injury triggered by hyperglycemia is an important pathological characteristic in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Accumulated advanced glycation end products and their precursor methylglyoxal (MGO), contribute to the development of DN. Carnosine has been shown to prevent the development of DN but the underlying mechanism still needs to be studied in depth.

Purpose: The study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 (Ga-FAPI) and F-FDG PET/CT for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in patients with various types of cancer.
Methods: The study enrolled 113 patients with suspected peritoneal malignancy, each of whom underwent Ga-FAPI and F-FDG PET/CT scans. Lesions in all patients were confirmed through pathology or radiological follow-up.

Background: In this introductory talk, we embark on a journey of through the genomic frontiers of Alzheimer's research via the revolutionary Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP).
Method: ADSP integrates together various components that collectively unravel the intricate genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease with the ultimate goal of advancing precision medicine for the millions affected globally by this devastating disease. With a goal of sequencing and analyzing up to 150,000 complete genomes and associated clinical and functional data in the next five years, ADSP has amassed an unprecedented wealth of genomic data from diverse populations, providing a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the genetic underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: "SuperAgers" are older adults (ages 80+) whose cognitive performance resembles that of adults in their 50s to mid-60s. Factors underlying their exemplary aging are underexplored in large, racially diverse cohorts. Using eight cohorts, we investigated the frequency of APOE genotypes in SuperAgers compared to middle-aged and older adults.
