Article Abstract
Precursor plasma cell disorders include monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). These conditions carry a variable risk of progression to symptomatic myeloma and there are ongoing efforts to improve risk stratification to identify patients that are at highest risk of progression. Advanced imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and monitoring, and more sensitive tools to measure serum monoclonal proteins and circulating tumor cells are being developed. The data for early intervention in SMM continues to evolve, with several phase III studies demonstrating benefit compared to observation. There are ongoing studies evaluating the role of combination and T cell immunotherapies in patients with precursor plasma cell disorders. This review will highlight the current state of the art tools in diagnosis, risk stratification, and data for early interception in patients with precursor plasma cell dyscrasias.

Background/aim: Tau protein, which is crucial for sustaining the cytoskeletal network by assisting microtubule construction, contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The hyperphosphorylation of tau causes it to detach from microtubules (MTs), leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in neurons, which ultimately results in cell death. Thionine (TH), a cationic phenothiazine-structured compound, has been the topic of extensive research due to its interesting physicochemical properties.

The construction of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) on gold coatings is one of the most effective strategies for bestowing anticoagulation and antimicrobial properties on the material. However, the poor chemical affinity between fluorinated porous precursors and gold substrates causes the agglomeration of nanostructures, resulting in uneven nanoporous morphology and accelerating lubricant leakage. Simultaneously, the weak interfacial adhesion between the nanostructures and the substrate may lead to the detachment of nanostructures under blood circulation.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β plaques (A), tau tangles (T), and neurodegeneration (N), collectively defining the ATN framework. While imaging biomarkers are well-established, the prognostic value of plasma biomarkers in predicting cognitive decline remains underexplored. This study compares plasma and imaging A/T/N biomarkers in predicting cognitive decline and evaluate the impact of combining biomarkers across modalities.

Most eukaryotic membranes comprise phospholipids bearing two hydrophobic tails, but -acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) stands out as a long-known but poorly understood phospholipid with three hydrophobic groups. What little attention NAPE has received has been devoted to understanding its metabolic functions as a precursor to -acylethanolamine (NAE), a bioactive lipid that acts as an endocannabinoid. Yet, levels of NAPE increase during myocardial infarction and ischemia, suggesting potential signaling roles for this lipid.
