ConspectusA key challenge in modern chemistry research is to mimic life-like functions using simple molecular networks and the integration of such networks into the first functional artificial cell. Central to this endeavor is the development of signaling elements that can regulate the cell function in time and space by producing entities of code with specific information to induce downstream activity. Such artificial signaling motifs can emerge in nonequilibrium systems, exhibiting complex dynamic behavior like bistability, multistability, oscillations, and chaos.

Metabolic reprogramming stands out as a defining characteristic of cancer, including glioblastoma (GB), enabling tumor cells to overcome growth and survival challenges in adverse conditions. The dysregulation of metabolic processes in GB is crucial to its pathogenesis, influencing both tumorigenesis and the disease's invasive tendencies. This altered metabolism supplies essential energy substrates for uncontrolled cell proliferation and also creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment, complicating conventional therapies.

Sonographer Experiences of Interprofessional Ultrasound Education: A Qualitative Study.

J Contin Educ Health Prof

January 2025

Ms. Cormack: Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences Department, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, and PhD Candidate, Education Portfolio, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Australia.

Introduction: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) technology has evolved rapidly and is being embraced by many health professionals as a valuable clinical tool. Sonographers are now teaching ultrasound skills to other health professionals in the clinical setting, including doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics, and physiotherapists. The purpose of this study was to understand the breadth of the opportunities, transitions, and challenges experienced by sonographer educators navigating new interprofessional teaching roles.

Introduction: Pseudoprogression is a complication observed following CAR-T therapy that can mimic disease progression; however, its incidence is not well defined. This phenomenon is driven by a robust inflammatory response due to the recognition of CAR-T cells targeting the lymphoma. Misinterpreting pseudoprogression as true disease progression could result in unnecessary alterations to the treatment regimen.

FXa-Responsive Hydrogels to Craft Corneal Endothelial Lamellae.

Adv Healthc Mater

January 2025

Max Bergmann Center of Biomaterials Dresden, Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e. V., Hohe Str. 6, 01069, Dresden, Germany.

Cell-instructive polymer hydrogels are instrumental in tissue engineering for regenerative therapies. Implementing defined and selective responsiveness to external stimuli is a persisting challenge that critically restricts their functionality. Addressing this challenge, this study introduces a versatile, modular hydrogel system composed of four-arm poly(ethylene glycol)(starPEG)-peptide and glycosaminoglycan(GAG)-maleimide conjugates.
