A cyclic tetraaza based bifunctional triphosphonate ligand 10-(2-aminoethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-tris(methylenephosphonic acid) (DO3MP-EA) was synthesized as bone-seeking theranostic agent. The compound was characterized by spectroscopic techniques and labelled with (99m)Tc with more than 97% purity. Blood clearance of 99mTc labelled compound a quick wash out from the circulation. The compound was excreted mainly via kidneys and accumulation of (99m)Tc-DO3MP-EA in bone was 9.53 ± 1.06% of injected dose per gram of bone at 1 h. The preliminary CADD analysis confirms the efficacy of DO3MP-EA (G Score -7.005) as better binding agent for osteocalcin (pdb 1Q8H) rather than other known clinical agents. Subsequently stability constant of chelate with Ga(III) was found to be 18.6 which confirms its efficacy as (68)Ga labelled PET radiopharmaceutical for bone.

The immunosuppressive microenvironment in pancreatic cancer, characterized by low tumor-specific T cells and excessive fibrosis, limits the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Here, three datasets and multi-immunofluorescence staining of tissue microarrays in pancreatic cancer indicate that mesothelin (MSLN) expression negatively correlates with cytotoxic T cells in tumor. Anti-MSLN antibody (αMSLN) treatment of pancreatic cancer in vivo can significantly increase T cell infiltration.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health threat with high mortality and efforts to meet WHO End TB Strategy milestones are off-track. It has become clear that TB is not a dichotomous infection with latent and active forms but presents along a disease spectrum. Subclinical TB plays a larger role in transmission than previously thought.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke. However, the survival of transplanted MSCs is often compromised by the excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ions (Ca) in the ischemic microenvironment following blood flow occlusion. In this study, a protective strategy is developed using functional nanomaterials to escort and shield MSCs.

Background: Since there is currently no cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it is essential to search for diagnostic biomarkers and novel treatments to reduce the severity of this disease. One of these treatment approaches is stem cell transplantation.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in patients with ALS by analyzing clinical and molecular data.
