new Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



Rationale: Growing evidence points to the tumor microenvironment's role in developing drug resistance. A key element of this microenvironment is inter-cellular communication, which includes the release of membrane-encapsulated vesicles containing various cargo, known as extracellular vesicles (EVs). Understanding how EVs contribute to acquired resistance holds significant clinical implications. Methods: Differential centrifugation-based methods were used to isolate EVs from established cell lines and human plasma. TMT labeling proteomics analysis of EVs revealed an abundance of metabolic transporter....
C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is an attractive target for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Here, we aimed to develop a new CXCR4-targeted PET tracer, and to investigate the translational potential for noninvasive imaging of CXCR4 expression in various cancer entities through preclinical and pilot clinical studies. Methods [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 was synthesized and evaluated by cellular uptake, blocking and biolayer interferometry studies in vitro. The pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and imaging specificity were researched in tumor-bearing mice. [18F]AlF-NOTA-QHY-04 PET/CT imaging....
