We present a case of a 60-year-old woman diagnosed with metastasized small bowl NET G3 with high hepatic tumor burden and highly glucometabolic (FDG-avid) disease. In the postchemotherapy setting with progressive disease, the patient underwent PRRT with 177Lu-DOTA-octreotate and 225Ac-DOTA-octreotate initially resulting in stable disease. In a novel approach, 225Ac-DOTA-LM3 (somatostatin receptor antagonist) was administered, leading to a favorable treatment response in the 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. This interesting image illustrates the promising antitumor potential of alpha-sst2 antagonist PRRT with 225Ac-DOTA-LM3, and to the best of our knowledge, it is the first documented evidence of superiority over standard alpha-PRRT from intraindividual comparison.

While human autopsy samples have provided insights into pulmonary immune mechanisms associated with severe viral respiratory diseases, the mechanisms that contribute to a clinically favorable resolution of viral respiratory infections remain unclear due to the lack of proper experimental systems. Using mice co-engrafted with a genetically matched human immune system and fetal lung xenograft (fLX), we mapped the immunological events defining successful resolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung tissues. Viral infection is rapidly cleared from fLX following a peak of viral replication, histopathological manifestations of lung disease and loss of AT2 program, as reported in human COVID-19 patients.

Inorganic nanomaterial-based peroxidase mimics have recently emerged as promising alternatives to natural peroxidases for enhancing the detection sensitivity of bioassays, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among them, magnetically active peroxidase mimics are particularly advantageous due to their ability to facilitate efficient separation and enrichment of target analytes. However, most reported magnetic peroxidase mimics suffer from limited catalytic efficiency and stability.

Annually, millions of humans and animals suffer from chronic and acute pain, creating welfare and quality of life concerns for both humans and animals who suffer this pain. In developing new therapeutic approaches, the challenge is to accurately measure this pain to ascertain the efficacy of novel therapeutics. Additionally, there is a need to develop new and effective analgesic options that may offer alternatives to using opioids that contribute to the opioid epidemic.

The increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders highlights the urgent need for effective mucosal vaccines that elicit targeted immune responses at pathogen entry sites. However, the advancement of mucosal vaccines is limited by challenges in antigen delivery and overcoming mucosal immune tolerance. In this study, we developed a gene delivery platform using chitosan functionalized with lactobionic acid (LA) to enhance targeting of antigen-presenting cells and to form stable DNA polyplexes with high transfection efficiency.

An one-pot method was used to prepare bimetallic nanozymes, with chitosan (CS) and l-tyrosine (L-Tyr) as stabilized dispersed colloidal solutions and a carrier for gold-platinum single atoms (Au-Pt SAs), which exhibited excellent peroxidase activity. A colorimetric method based on CS/L-Tyr/Au-Pt SAs nanozymes was constructed for the colorimetric detection of quercetin (QR) in human serum and orange juice. The synthesized bimetallic nanozymes were characterized by SEM, TEM, HAADF-STEM, FT-IR, XRD and XPS techniques to demonstrate the successful synthesis of CS/L-Tyr/Au-Pt SAs nanozymes.
