A novel cancer vaccine is developed by using FeO magnetic nanoclusters (MNCs) as the core and cancer cell membranes decorated with anti-CD205 as the cloak. Because of the superparamagnetism and magnetization of MNCs, it is first achieved for the magnetic retention of vaccine in the lymph nodes with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guide, which opened the time window for antigen uptake by dendritic cells (DCs). Meanwhile, the camouflaged cancer cell membranes serve as a reservoir of various antigens, enabling subsequent multiantigenic response. Additionally, the decorated anti-CD205 direct more vaccine into CD8 DCs, facilitating the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I cross-presentation. These unique advantages together lead to a great proliferation of T cells with superior clonal diversity and cytotoxic activity. As a result, potent prophylactic and therapeutic effects with few abnormalities are observed on five different tumor models. Therefore, such a cancer-derived magnetosome with the integration of various recent nanotechnologies successfully demonstrates its promise for safe and high-performance cancer vaccination.

The photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) stands as a pivotal determinant in the therapeutic efficacy of photothermal nanoagents (PTNAs) within the context of photothermal therapy (PTT). The dearth of universal strategies to greatly enhance PCE has markedly curtailed the practical deployment of PTNAs. Now this problem is addressed by proposing a universal approach founded on molecular rotors and J-aggregates, "highly efficient molecular motor matrix", to greatly elevate the PCE of traditional PTNAs.

Background: MRI assessment for extraprostatic extension (EPE) of prostate cancer (PCa) is challenging due to limited accuracy and interobserver agreement.
Purpose: To develop an interpretable Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network (TabPFN)-based radiomics model to evaluate EPE using MRI and explore its integration with radiologists' assessments.
Study Type: Retrospective.

Cervical cancer remains a major health burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, despite being one of the most preventable cancers. WHO's 90-70-90 targets aim to eliminate cervical cancer globally by 2030. These targets include 90% of girls fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by the age of 15 years, 70% of women screened using a high-performance test by the age of 35 years and again by 45 years, and 90% of women with cervical disease receiving appropriate treatment.

Point-of-care (POC) detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is critical for the early screening and monitoring of prostate cancer (PCa), which facilitates timely intervention and personalized treatment. However, existing POC platforms suffer from inadequate detection sensitivities, susceptibility to matrix interference, and complex sample pretreatment. To address these issues, we proposed a naked-eye and colorimetric sensing platform based on magnetic nanozyme (FeO@ZIF-67@Pt) integrated with a tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-triggered hydrolysis reaction for PSA detection with superior sensing performances.

Background And Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is linked to increased cancer risk and death but the effect of vitamin D substitution on the prognosis of patients with malignant disease is debatable. We aimed to investigate the value of serum vitamin D3 levels in patients with a history of malignancy and confirmed lung metastases.
Materials And Method: Serum Vitamin D2 (25-hydroxyergokalciferol) and D3 (25‑hydroxycholekalciferol) levels were measured in 38 patients (28 with and 10 without lung metastases) using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
