OBJECTIVE: Hyaluronic acid (HA) can be degraded over time. However, the persistence of the effects after injection laryngoplasty (IL) for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) has been observed. The relation between HA residue and clinical voice out...
Regulating inflammatory microglia presents a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet effective therapeutic agents delivery to these cells remains a challenge. This study investigates modified lipid nanoparticle...
BACKGROUND: Novel circulating markers for the non-invasive staging of chronic liver disease (CLD) are in high demand. Although underutilized, extracellular matrix (ECM) components offer significant diagnostic potential. This study evaluates ECM-relat...

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial alterations play a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer. Dysfunctional mitochondria contribute to the acquisition of key hallmarks of cancer, including sustained proliferative signaling, evasion of growt...
Confusing low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (LMWHA) from acid degradation and enzymatic hydrolysis (named LMWHA-A and LMWHA-E, respectively) will lead to health hazards and commercial risks. The purpose of this work is to analyze the structural di...
Biohybrid robots, which comprise soft materials with biological components, have the potential to sense, respond, and adapt to changing environmental loads dynamically. Instead of humans and other living things, biohybrid robots can be used in variou...
The application of nanoparticles in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been greatly increasing, due to their advantageous properties such as nanoscale dimension and tuneability. In this context, manganese (Mn)-based nanoparticles have been greatly ...

BACKGROUND: This pilot study investigated plasma concentrations of hyaluronan, heparan sulfate, and syndecan-1 as possible biomarkers for glycocalyx integrity after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic injection (EI) has been considered a minimally invasive option with high success rates. However, in clinical settings where EI has failed, and after repeat injections or worsening clinical presentation, different treatment moda...
