Article Abstract
Interest in the relational anatomy of the anterior neck among spine surgeons increased after the popularization of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in the 1950s. Five surface landmarks and their relationship to specific spinal levels have been routinely described, comprising the angle of the mandible for the C2-C3 interspace, the hyoid bone for the C3 body, the thyroid cartilage for the C4-C5 disc, and the cricoid cartilage and carotid tubercle for the C6 body. We aimed to investigate the origins of these anatomic relationships and their application in modern practice.

Background: The global increase in diabetes mellitus has been accompanied by a significant rise in related complications. Diabetic patients frequently experience ocular surface disorders and multiple studies have demonstrated that the diabetic corneal epithelium is characterized by increased cellular fragility and compromised barrier integrity. It has been demonstrated that the processes of oxidative stress and inflammation are pivotal in causing ocular tissue damage in diabetic patients.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive decline in dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra (SN). Although its underlying cause has yet to be fully elucidated, accumulating evidence suggests that neuroinflammation contributes substantially to disease development. Treatment strategies targeting neuroinflammation could improve PD outcomes.

Background: Sarcopenia is a complex, multifactorial condition characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. Despite growing awareness, the early diagnosis and pathophysiological characterization of this condition remain challenging due to the lack of integrative biomarkers.
Objective: This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive multilevel profiling of clinical parameters, immune cell phenotypes, extracellular vesicle (EV) signatures, and biochemical markers to elucidate biological gradients associated with different stages of sarcopenia.

The bioenergetic machinery of the cell is protected and structured within two layers of mitochondrial membranes. The mitochondrial inner membrane is extremely rich in proteins, including respiratory chain complexes, substrate transport proteins, ion exchangers, and structural fusion proteins. These proteins participate directly or indirectly in shaping the membrane's curvature and facilitating its folding, as well as promoting the formation of nanotubes, and proton-rich pockets known as cristae.

Background: The development and clinical success of KRAS inhibitors was a landmark achievement in anti-cancer drug development, as oncogenic KRAS had long been considered an intractable therapeutic target. Patients with KRAS mutant lung cancers frequently present with co-mutations in the KEAP1-NRF2 pathway, and because genetic activation of NRF2 results in resistance to all current anti-cancer therapies, we were motivated to explore how aberrant activation of NRF2 impacts the clinical response to KRAS inhibitors.
Methods: A broad range of techniques, including genetic knockouts, scRNA-seq and surface plasmon resonance, were used to determine the effect of KRAS drugs on NRF2.
