Myelin loss induces neural dysfunction and contributes to the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, injury conditions, and aging. Because remyelination is often incomplete, better understanding endogenous remyelination and developing remyelination therapies that restore neural function are clinical imperatives. Here, we use in vivo two-photon microscopy and electrophysiology to study the dynamics of endogenous and therapeutic-induced cortical remyelination and functional recovery after cuprizone-mediated demyelination in mice.

Objective: While researchers are crucial to the successful delivery of implementation trials, their perspectives are rarely captured in the evaluation of these trials. This qualitative study aimed to capture the experiences of a small research team coordinating a large, multisite implementation trial (the Hide and Seek Project) in the Australian healthcare setting.

Design: A qualitative approach was used, whereby members of the Hide and Seek Project research team were invited to take part in semistructured focus groups led by an external facilitator.

Advanced Targeted Therapy for Colorectal Cancer with Lipid Nanoparticles.

Curr Med Chem

Targeted therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) appears to have great potential with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The advances in LNP-based techniques, such as liposomes, exosomes, micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nano-cubosomes, and plant- derived LNPs (PDLNPs), are explored in detail in this thorough review. Every platform provides distinct advantages: liposomes enable precise drug release and improved delivery; exosomes function as organic nanocarriers for focused treatment; SLNs offer greater stability; micelles enhance drug solubility and resistance; nano-cubosomes tackle low bioavailability; and PDLNPs offer biocompatible substitutes.

Slamming hepatocellular carcinoma: targeting immunosuppressive macrophages via SLAMF7 reprograms the tumor microenvironment.

Transl Cancer Res

Department of Hepatology and Gastroenterology, Campus Charité Mitte and Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to limited treatment options. The tumor microenvironment (TME), which is usually immunosuppressive in HCC, appears to be a decisive factor for response to immunotherapy and strategies aimed at inducing a more inflamed TME hold promise to overcome resistance to immunotherapy. Within the TME, the interplay of various cell types determines whether immunotherapy is successful.

Background: Despite approvals of new first-line immunotherapies for advanced/metastatic gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (aGC/GEJC), patients' median survival is around 14 months and their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is affected by disease-related symptoms and treatment-related side effects. Using a targeted literature review (TLR) and patient interviews, this study identified disease- and treatment-related concepts that are important to patients with aGC/GEJC and their HRQoL.

Methods: A TLR was conducted to identify primary qualitative studies from 2018 to 2021 on patients' experiences with aGC/GEJC.
