3D Bioprinting and Microfluidic-Based Devices for Cancer Detection and Drug Treatment: Focus on Prostate Cancer
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Mar 8. doi: 10.2174/0109298673298382240307040239. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe burden of increasing cancer incidence among the population, and, in particular, of prostate cancer in men living in highly developed countries, brings with it, on one hand, the need for new devices that allow a faster and earlier diagnosis, ideally in a non-invasive way and with low consumption of expensive reagents, and on the other the need for the assessment of new in vitro models that allow a more reliable assessment of cancer features, including its microenvironment and sensibility to different drugs. At the crossro...

Regulating Triplet Excitons of Organic Luminophores for Promoted Bioimaging
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Mar 11. doi: 10.2174/0109298673301552240305064259. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfterglow materials with organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) exhibit significant potential in biological imaging due to their long lifetime. By utilizing time-resolved technology, interference from biological tissue fluorescence can be mitigated, enabling high signal-- to-background ratio imaging. Despite the continued emergence of individual reports on RTP or TADF in recent years, comprehensive reviews addressing these two materials are rare. Therefore, this rev...

Defective Mitophagy Impairs Response to Inflammatory Activation of Macrophage-Like Cells
CONCLUSION: Data on the involvement of mitophagy, including defective mitophagy, in disturbances of the inflammatory response in sepsis, viral infections, autoimmune diseases and other pathologies have previously been reported. In this work, we studied the role of defective mitophagy in non-infectious chronic inflammatory diseases using the example of atherosclerosis. We showed a dramatic disruption of the inflammatory response associated with defective mitophagy. Compared with cybrids with normal mitophagy, in cybrids with defective mitophagy, the secretion of all studied cytokines changed significantly both quantitativel...
