A 36-year-old woman with a history of neck swelling was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a common but typically slow-growing thyroid cancer with a good prognosis. Despite frequent lymph node metastasis, mortality rates are low. This cancer can rarely spread to unusual areas like the axillary region.

Radiotherapy (RT) is widely applied in tumor therapy, but inevitable side effects, especially for skin radiation injury, are still a fatal problem and life-threatening challenge for tumor patients. The main components of topical radiation protection preparations currently available on the market are antioxidants, such as SOD, which are limited by their unstable activity and short duration of action, making it difficult to achieve the effects of radiation protection and skin radiation damage treatment. Therefore, we designed a drug-free antioxidant hydrogel patch with encapsulated bioactive epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the treatment of radiation skin injury.

Radioactive Ce in ionic (I-Ce), nano (N-Ce, 11 ± 9 nm mean primary particle size ± standard deviation) and micron-sized (M-Ce, 530 ± 440 µm) forms associated with natural and artificial diets in natural river water and synthetic freshwater were used to measure the real-time biokinetics of dietary Ce assimilation in a freshwater food chain. The model food chain consisted of microalgae (Raphidocelis subcapitata), snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) and prawns (Macrobrachium australiense). Pulse-chase experiments showed that 91-100 % of all forms of cerium associated with all diets and water types were eliminated from the digestive system of the snail and prawn within 24 h, with no detectable cerium assimilation.

Introduction: Leukemic stem cells (LSC) are the source of relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thus, eliminating LSC is one of the overarching goals of AML research. Radioimmunotherapy is an immunotherapeutic approach which utilizes radioactive isotopes as effector molecules based on the proven ability of ionizing radiation (IR) to kill LSC.

Cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a recently discovered second messenger that modulates several signal transduction pathways in bacterial and host cells. Besides the bacterial system, c-di-AMP signaling is also connected with the host cytoplasmic surveillance pathways (CSP) that induce type-I IFN responses through STING-mediated pathways. Additionally, c-di-AMP demonstrates potent adjuvant properties, particularly when administered alongside the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine through mucosal routes.
