BACKGROUND: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe stroke subtype with high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. Currently, no biomarkers for ICH are available for use in clinical practice. We aimed to explore the roles of RNAs in ICH path...
Monocytes are pivotal immune cells in eliciting specific immune responses and can exert a significant impact on the progression, prognosis, and immunotherapy of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). The objective of this study was to identify monocyte/macrop...
Cytokines have been identified as key contributors to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet conventional treatments often prove inadequate and carry substantial side effects. Here, we present an innovative biohybrid robotic system,...
Translating medical microrobots into clinics requires tracking, localization, and performing assigned medical tasks at target locations, which can only happen when appropriate design, actuation mechanisms, and medical imaging systems are integrated i...
BACKGROUND: Although there has been some progress in the treatment of primary uveal melanoma (UVM), distant metastasis remains the leading cause of death in patients. Monitoring, staging, and treatment of metastatic disease have not yet reached conse...
The Leishmania life cycle alternates between promastigotes, found in the sandfly, and amastigotes, found in mammals. When an infected sandfly bites a host, promastigotes are engulfed by phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophages)...
Macrophages played an important role in the progression and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We employed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify macrophage-related genes (MRGs) and classify patients...
Spectral fingerprinting has emerged as a powerful tool that is adept at identifying chemical compounds and deciphering complex interactions within cells and engineered nanomaterials. Using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence spectral fingerprinting coup...
Inflammatory responses, leading to fibrosis and potential host rejection, significantly hinder the long-term success and widespread adoption of biomedical implants. The ability to control and investigated macrophage inflammatory responses at the impl...
One of the key tissue movements driving closure of a wound is re-epithelialisation. Earlier wound healing studies describe the dynamic cell behaviours that contribute to wound re-epithelialisation, including cell division, cell shape changes and cell...
