Article Abstract
Application of plasma medicine has been actively explored during last several years. Treating every type of cancer remains a difficult task for medical personnel due to the wide variety of cancer cell selectivity. Research in advanced plasma physics has led to the development of different types of non-thermal plasma devices, such as plasma jets, and dielectric barrier discharges. Non-thermal plasma generates many charged particles and reactive species when brought into contact with biological samples. The main constituents include reactive nitrogen species, reactive oxygen species, and plasma ultra-violets. These species can be applied to synthesize biologically important nanomaterials or can be used with nanomaterials for various kinds of biomedical applications to improve human health. This review reports recent updates on plasma-based synthesis of biologically important nanomaterials and synergy of plasma with nanomaterials for various kind of biological applications.

Window of opportunity evaluation of blood-brain barrier permeability heterogeneity within and across high-grade glioma patients.
Neuro Oncol
September 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in high-grade brain tumors is characterized by contrast accumulation on diagnostic imaging. This window of opportunity study correlates contrast imaging features with the tumor distribution of BBB-permeable (levetiracetam) and -impermeable (cefazolin) drugs.
Methods: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of a high-grade brain tumor underwent MRI for surgical planning.
Impact of ambient temperature exposure on miRNA stability in human plasma.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are considered more stable than mRNA, but the impact of progressive thawing of biological samples after freezing as may happen during shipping delays has not been quantified. To address this, we utilized digital PCR to estimate the absolute concentrations of select miRNAs following progressive thawing of human plasma and maintenance at ambient temperature. Specifically, we quantified let-7b-3p, miR-144-5p, miR-150-5p, miR-517a-3p, miR-524-5p, and miR-1283, which have varying abundance in plasma.

Background: Serum copeptin (sCoP) is used as a surrogate for plasma arginine vasopressin (pAVP) measurement in humans.
Objective: To measure pAVP and sCoP at rest and after osmotic- and non-osmotic stimulation testing in dogs.

Elucidating the earliest biological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) is critical for advancing early detection strategies. While amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathologies have been central to preclinical AD research, the roles of peripheral biological processes in disease initiation remain underexplored. We investigated patterns of F-MK6240 tau positron emission tomography (PET) and peripheral inflammation across stages defined by Aβ burden and neuronal injury in n = 132 (64.

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are amphiphilic polymers that are used extensively in consumer products and PEGylated biotherapeutics. Although PEGs are considered biologically inert with a low toxicity, anti-PEG antibodies have been detected in patients receiving treatment with PEGylated biotherapeutics as well as in healthy individuals. Despite continual exposure in daily life, the prevalence of PEGs within the general population remains unclear.
