177Lu-DOTATATE is a radionuclide therapy that is FDA approved for the treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Treatment facilities are required to determine the maximum radiation dose from such subjects to the maximally exposed member of the public, ensuring that the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) does not exceed regulatory limits. If the calculated TEDE meets the regulatory limits, the patient is eligible for release and provided instructions with radiation precautions. This study aims to determine a mean transmission factor to the patient to improve accuracy and individualize the estimation of the TEDE.

Role of extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis of mosquito-borne flaviviruses that impact public health.

J Biomed Sci

January 2025

Departamento de Biología Molecular y Biotecnología, Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), 04510, Mexico City, Mexico.

Mosquito-borne flaviviruses represent a public health challenge due to the high-rate endemic infections, severe clinical outcomes, and the potential risk of emerging global outbreaks. Flavivirus disease pathogenesis converges on cellular factors from vectors and hosts, and their interactions are still unclear. Exosomes and microparticles are extracellular vesicles released from cells that mediate the intercellular communication necessary for maintaining homeostasis; however, they have been shown to be involved in disease establishment and progression.

CYP3A5 promotes glioblastoma stemness and chemoresistance through fine-tuning NAD/NADH ratio.

J Exp Clin Cancer Res

January 2025

School of Medicine, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Nankai University, Beijing, China.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exhibits a cellular hierarchy with a subpopulation of stem-like cells known as glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) that drive tumor growth and contribute to treatment resistance. NAD(H) emerges as a crucial factor influencing GSC maintenance through its involvement in diverse biological processes, including mitochondrial fitness and DNA damage repair. However, how GSCs leverage metabolic adaptation to obtain survival advantage remains elusive.
