Neuroprotective Effects of Nanocurcumin in Spinal Cord Injury: Modulation of Inflammatory and Inflammasome-Associated Signaling in an Integrated In Vivo , In Silico , and Machine-Learning Study

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers secondary neuroinflammatory and inflammasome-associated responses that contribute to tissue damage and functional impairment. This study evaluated nanocurcumin in experimental SCI using integrated experimental, computational, and exploratory mach...

Resident and faculty experiences of an integrated anatomy curriculum in general and orthopedic surgery: a qualitative study of specialty alignment and psychological safety

Clinical anatomy is widely regarded as a precondition of safe operative practice, yet formal instruction usually ends in the preclinical years, leaving a prolonged interval before residents assume operative responsibility. An integrated clinical anatomy curriculum shared by Gener...

Correlation of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) expressed miRNAs (BART4, BART7, and BHRF1) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia stages

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of several B-cell malignancies, but its role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains unclear. EBV-encoded microRNAs, including BHRF1 and BART families, are thought to modulate host cell survival and...
