Article Abstract

It has been nearly two decades since the term "protein corona" was coined. This term has since evolved to "biomolecular corona" or "biocorona" to capture the diverse biomolecules that spontaneously form on the surface of nanoparticles upon exposure to biological fluids and drive nanoparticle interactions with biological systems. In this Perspective, we highlight the significant progress in this field, including studies on nonprotein corona components, lipid nanoparticles, and the role of the corona in endogenous organ targeting. We also discuss research opportunities in this field, particularly the need for improved characterization and standardization of analysis and how recent advances in artificial intelligence and ex vivo models can improve our understanding of the biomolecular corona in guiding nanomedicine design.

The Chicago Maternity Center provided obstetrical services for the medically underserved on Chicago's Near West Side for nearly eight decades (1895-1974). While its founder's vision, its outreach to underserved communities, the reasons for its decline, and the perceived abandonment of the community when it closed have been well documented, less attention has been paid to the role of trainees in providing obstetrical care. Medical students and residents routinely delivered babies in patients' homes, often without adequate supervision.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, with high rates of recurrence and chemoresistance. Advances in understanding the molecular biology of EOC, particularly BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), have led to more targeted therapies. This review provides an updated summary of systemic treatments for EOC, with an emphasis on personalized therapy approaches and emerging therapeutic strategies.

Background: Despite decades of initiatives to increase nursing workforce diversity, gaps persist between patient population and nursing workforce demographics.

Problem: Emphasis on NCLEX pass rates as a program quality indicator, combined with systemic barriers, creates complex challenges that influence admission and progression policies in nursing education. Evidence suggests these factors disproportionately affect underrepresented minority (URM) students, impacting both academic success and workforce diversity.

Research progress of DNA barcoding in precision medicine and molecular diagnosis- A review.

Anal Chim Acta

November 2025

Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200072, PR China.

Background: A DNA barcode is a short DNA fragment used to classify and identify specific organisms, taking advantage of the specificity and diversity inherent in biological molecules. Since Herbert introduced the concept in 2003, DNA barcoding has been increasingly used in precision medicine and related fields, including species identification and environmental monitoring, over the past few decades. Although numerous molecular diagnostic techniques have emerged, many face notable obstacles such as sensitivity to handling conditions, high expenses, and limitations in accuracy.
