Cell viability detection is usually accompanied by large errors and toxicity. For the accuracy and safety of detection, it is urgent to develop a practical approach to realize the real-time monitoring of cell viability. Here, a low-temperature persistent phosphor was employed to facilitate the detection of cell viability. Stable low-temperature persistent luminescence originating from BaSiO:Eu, Pr (BSEP) was developed, which could be quantified to describe the viability of baby Syrian hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells. The defect state structure guarantees the excellent persistent luminescence at 193 K of more than 200 h of the as-prepared BSEP phosphor, which ensures the long-term biological application. The structural thermal stability and water tolerance of BSEP suggest the feasibility of the practical application. Our results provide the underlying insights of the low-temperature persistent phosphors for real-time biological detection.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a highly lethal disease, often diagnosed with advanced locoregional and distant metastases, resulting in a median survival of just 3-5 months. This study determines the stratified effectiveness of baseline treatments in all combinations, enabling precise prognoses prediction and establishing benchmarks for advanced therapeutic options.

Methods: The study extracted a cohort of pathologically confirmed ATC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.

Sorafenib (Sora) is a first-line treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It can significantly improve the survival rate of patients with advanced HCC, but it is prone to drug resistance during treatment, so the therapeutic effect is extremely limited. Here, we demonstrate that an elevated expression of protein kinase p38γ in hepatocellular carcinoma cells diminishes the tumor cells' sensitivity to Sora.

Effect of terahertz radiation on cells and cellular structures.

Front Optoelectron

January 2025

Institute of Physics, Saratov State University, Saratov, 410012, Russia.

The paper presents the results of modern research on the effects of electromagnetic terahertz radiation in the frequency range 0.5-100 THz at different levels of power density and exposure time on the viability of normal and cancer cells. As an accompanying tool for monitoring the effect of radiation on biological cells and tissues, spectroscopic research methods in the terahertz frequency range are described, and attention is focused on the possibility of using the spectra of interstitial water as a marker of pathological processes.

Department of Breast Surgery, Thyroid Surgery, Huangshi Central Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei Polytechnic University, No.141, Tianjin Road, Huangshi, 435000, Hubei, China.

Background: The heterogeneity of breast cancer (BC) necessitates the identification of novel subtypes and prognostic models to enhance patient stratification and treatment strategies. This study aims to identify novel BC subtypes based on PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) and construct a robust prognostic model to guide individualized treatment strategies.

Methods: The transcriptome data along with clinical data of BC patients were sourced from the TCGA and GEO databases.
