Proteome profiling of salivary small extracellular vesicles in glioblastoma patients
Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in intercellular communication under physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer. EVs cargo reflects their cell of origin, suggesting their utility as biomarkers. EVs are detected in several biofluids, and their ability to cross the blood–brain barrier has highlighted their potential as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in… Continue reading Proteome profiling of salivary small extracellular vesicles in glioblastoma patients

Trends and factors associated with secondhand smoke exposure among US cancer survivors, 2013–2020
Abstract Background Secondhand smoke (SHS) poses a significant public health threat. Cancer survivors are at a greater risk of adverse health outcomes from SHS because of its association with poor prognosis and other downstream clinical events. Methods A nationally representative sample of US adults aged 20 years and older was analyzed from the National Health and… Continue reading Trends and factors associated with secondhand smoke exposure among US cancer survivors, 2013–2020
Trends and factors associated with secondhand smoke exposure among US cancer survivors, 2013–2020
A nationally representative sample of US adults aged 20 years and older was analyzed from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2013 and 2020 . The prevalence of SHS exposure was higher in cancer survivors who were younger, racial minorities, and had a household income below 130% of the federal poverty level .
New technologies reveal cross-cutting breakdowns in Alzheimer’s disease
After decades of fundamental scientific and drug discovery research, Alzheimer’s disease has remained inscrutable and incurable, with a bare minimum of therapeutic progress. But in a new review article in Nature Neuroscience, MIT scientists write that by employing the new research capability of single-cell profiling, the field has rapidly achieved long-sought insights with strong potential for both… Continue reading New technologies reveal cross-cutting breakdowns in Alzheimer’s disease
