Multivariate analysis of liquid biopsies for real-time detection of patients with biofilm-associated infections (BAI)

J. C. Liao et al.

Summary: Biofilm-associated infections (BAI) are chronic infections that are refractory to standard antibiotic therapy and challenging to diagnose. Detecting biofilms in patients remains a major challenge in the clinical field. Here, we introduced a microfluidic-based label-free and multivariate analysis (LF-MA) platform to assess biofilm-associated infection disease via multivariate analysis of severity parameters for point-of-care management.

Early Predictor Tool of Disease Using Label-Free Liquid Biopsy-Based Platforms for Patient-Centric Healthcare

Wei Li et al.

Summary: A novel early prediction tool based on liquid biopsy for label-free phenotypic analysis of cell clusters was proposed, aiming to assess and stratify cancer patients in a cost-effective, user-friendly manner. The tool effectively distinguished healthy donors from pretreatment cancer patients and showed significant correlation with treatment duration and cancer stage through multiple quantitative phenotypic parameters. This patient-centric approach can help clinicians identify diseases or indicate the need for new treatment strategies.

Bacterial targeted AIE photosensitizers synergistically promote chemotherapy for the treatment of inflammatory cancer

Tianfu Zhang et al.

Summary: Researchers developed a novel combination strategy of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, which effectively killed bacteria in a three-dimensional bladder cancer model. This strategy has the potential to improve treatment efficacy and allow for treatment guided by fluorescence imaging in vivo.

Macrophage targeting in cancer

Martha Lopez-Yrigoyen et al.

Summary: Tumorigenesis is influenced by interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages play a crucial role in tumor development, with the potential to both promote antitumor responses and exhibit immunosuppressive protumor phenotypes. Targeting TAMs has become a strategy in cancer therapy, with a focus on reprogramming TAMs to support antitumor immune responses.

Novel insights into the function ofCD24: A driving force in cancer

Peter Altevogt et al.

Summary: CD24 is a highly glycosylated protein expressed primarily by immune cells and often overexpressed in human tumors. It plays a role in regulating cell migration, invasion and proliferation in cancer, associated with poor prognosis and used as a cancer stemness marker. The review summarizes recent progress on the role of CD24-Siglec-10 binding axis in tumor immunity and the potential of CD24-based immunotherapy in cancer.

Biofilm matrix disrupts nematode motility and predatory behavior

Shepherd Yuen Chan et al.

Summary: A study found that biofilms produced by the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can interfere with the motility of bacterivorous nematode Caenorhabditis elegans through the production of a specific exopolysaccharide, Psl. This interference reduces the ability of C. elegans to roam and prey on the biofilms.

The discovery of bacterial biofilm in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer

Naomi Nadler et al.

Summary: The carcinogenic effects of microorganisms, such as parasitic infections and biofilm formation, have been linked to various types of cancers. Experimental studies have shown that bacteria like Escherichia coli can drive the development of colorectal cancer. Recent findings suggest alterations in the urinary microbiome of bladder cancer patients compared to healthy individuals.

Label-free biosensor of phagocytosis for diagnosing bacterial infections

Junchen Liao et al.

Summary: Current methods for detecting phagocytosis pose significant challenges, necessitating the development of a rapid, non-disruptive, and label-free detection approach. By using deformability assays and microscopic imaging, it was demonstrated that phagocytic blood cells with internalized bacteria exhibit aberrant physical properties, which were leveraged to develop a novel microfluidics-based biosensor platform for phagocytosis detection. This platform showed promising clinical utility in rapidly diagnosing microbial infections, especially in bloodstream infections, ultimately improving point-of-care management outcomes.

The effects of biofilms on tumor progression in a 3D cancer-biofilm microfluidic model

Yanlin Deng et al.

Summary: It was found that extratumoral bacteria can influence bladder cancer progression similarly to intratumoral bacteria, leading to an increase in cancer stem cell counts. Triple therapy was effective in simultaneously eradicating biofilms and tumors.
