Despite the tremendous potential of cancer immunotherapy, its clinical benefits remain limited. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune responses rely on the secretion of perforin and granzyme B (GZMB) to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. The mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR) on tumor cell membranes can recognize GZMB and promote its internalization in a perforin-independent manner.

Intense hepatobiliary uptake of [Tc]Tc-sestamibi in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) often degrades image quality by obscuring the inferior myocardial wall, leading to equivocal studies. While nonpharmacological interventions are inconsistent, the choleretic agent ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) could potentially accelerate hepatic clearance. The effectiveness of a convenient, single-dose UDCA intervention has not been rigorously evaluated.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents an aggressive cancer type associated with poor prognosis, often treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using cisplatin-based regimens. However, cisplatin resistance limits therapeutic efficacy, necessitating a deeper understanding of resistance mechanisms. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) plays a crucial role in amino acid uptake and is linked to cancer cell survival through activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway.

Robotic total hip and knee arthroplasty: economic impact and workflow efficiency.

J Robot Surg

September 2025

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Orthopedic and Rheumatology Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, 9500 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH, A4144195, USA.

Robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (RA-TJA) is projected to account for 70% of all arthroplasties by 2030, yet its economic value and operational efficiency have yet to be thoroughly synthesized. While early literature emphasized technical precision, evolving payment models and implementation costs have shifted focus toward cost-effectiveness and workflow integration. To evaluate the economic and institutional viability of RA-TJA by synthesizing available evidence on capital costs, perioperative expenses, learning curves, throughput, and long-term adoption trends.

Solvent-Directed Self-Assembly of Sorafenib into Spherical Particles for Enhanced Anticancer Efficacy.

Nano Lett

September 2025

KU-KIST Graduate School of Converging Science and Technology, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea.

Sorafenib, a clinically approved multityrosine kinase inhibitor, exhibits poor aqueous solubility, which limits its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we introduce a solvent-directed self-assembly strategy to modulate the nanostructure of sorafenib without the use of external carriers or complex formulation techniques. In pure water, sorafenib forms large lamellar aggregates, whereas in 30% methanol-water mixtures, it self-assembles into uniform spherical particles approximately 450 nm in diameter.
