Background: Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with microbubbles has recently shown great promise in facilitating blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening for drug delivery and immunotherapy in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is currently limited to systems integrated within the MRI suites or requiring post-surgical implants, thus restricting its widespread clinical adoption. In this pilot study, we investigate the clinical safety and feasibility of a portable, non-invasive neuronavigation-guided FUS (NgFUS) system with integrated real-time 2-D microbubble cavitation mapping. Methods: A phase....
Rationale: Since oncogene expression products often exhibit upregulation or abnormally activated activity, developing a technique to regulate abnormal protein levels represent a viable approach for treating tumors and protein abnormality-related diseases. Methods: We first screened out eMIATAC components with high targeted degradation efficiency and explored the mechanism by which eMIATAC induced target protein degradation, and verified the degradation efficiency of the target protein by protein imprinting and flow cytometry. Next, we recombined eMIATAC with some controllable elements to verify....
