Gold Nanoparticle Shape and Protein Corona Effects on Radiosensitization in Neuroblastoma Cells

Abstract Gold nanoparticle (GNP) radiosensitization is influenced by particle shape and the protein corona acquired in biological environments. We investigated how GNP shape and a preformed human plasma protein corona affect the radiation response of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells e...

Development of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) combined with a lateral flow dipstick DNA biosensor for detection of α thalassemia 1 [Southeast Asia (SEA), --SEA deletion]

This study aimed to develop a one-step loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with a lateral flow dipstick (LAMP-LFD) DNA biosensor for the detection of α 0 -thalassemia (SEA deletion). Genomic DNA was obtained from 48 α 0 -thalassemia (SEA deletion)-positive and 48 (SEA...

Incident Catatonia in Elderly Patients With Chronic Psychosis: Clinical Trajectories and Management Outcomes — A Case Series

Background Incident catatonia in older adults with chronic psychosis may signal underlying organic pathology rather than primary psychiatric exacerbation. We describe three patients with different vulnerability profiles. Methods This retrospective series reviews the clinical cour...

Sesamin Attenuates Interleukin-1β-Induced Inflammation in Human Synovial Cells: Involvement of the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway and NLRP3 Expression

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease characterized by cartilage destruction and is increasingly recognized as involving chronic low-grade inflammation. Synovitis contributes to OA progression through the production of proinflammatory mediators and reactive...

Neutrophil dysregulation following splenectomy in 𝛃‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E: Myeloid homeostasis and the circulating milieu

Cultivating pro-environmental behavioral intention through eco-gamified applications: the roles of intrinsic motivation and e-lifestyle

Purpose Amid growing sustainability concerns and the increasing ubiquity of e-commerce and digital lifestyles, sustainable gamification has emerged as a vital strategy for promoting pro-environmental behavioral intention. This study aims to investigate the direct and indirect eff...

Anti-cancer and anti- genotoxic potential of Yoom Noon rice: induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and inhibiting migration and invasion in vitro

Yoom Noon, a strain of rice from the Royal Initiative of Southern Thailand, is rich in flavonoids and exhibits strong antioxidant properties. However, no research has yet been conducted on its anti-cancer properties, leading us to explore the activity of polished and unpolished Y...

Policy Frameworks, Macro-Demographic Trajectories, and Projections for Supporting At-Risk Elderly Populations Experiencing Solitary Dearth in Thailand

Abstract* Background Thailand is navigating one of the most rapid demographic transitions in human history, shifting from an aging profile into a deeply consolidated aged national structure. Within this profound demographic compression, the phenomenon of “solitary dearth” defined...

Association between medical school admission pathways and documented extracurricular research participation: a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study

Abstract Background Medical schools that use multiple admission pathways may admit students with varying research-related experiences and opportunities. We examined the association between admission pathway and documented extracurricular research participation during medical trai...

From Molecular Cages to Functional Devices: Silsesquioxane Hybrid Platforms for Next-Generation Electronic Materials

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) and related silsesquioxanes provide an atomically precise platform for organic–inorganic hybrid electronics. Existing reviews mainly address synthesis, functionalisation, and application breadth; comparatively few connect molecular arc...

Associations between maternal age at first birth and parenting behaviour among migrant and displaced mothers on the Thailand-Myanmar border

Background Early parenthood is an established risk factor for poor maternal and child outcomes. Research on the association between maternal age at first birth and parenting behaviour remains limited in displacement contexts in low- and middle-income countries, despite the high p...

An integrated framework for developing a national industrial technology roadmap: Thailand perspectives

Purpose This study aims to propose an integrated approach to roadmap development that enhances alignment and practical impact by combining data-driven analysis with stakeholder engagement. Design/methodology/approach The methodology incorporates drivers and trends analysis, socia...

Opegaster plateen n. sp. (Digenea: Opecoelidae) from the giant mudskipper Periophthalmus schlosseri (Pallas, 1770) (Perciformes: Gobiidae) from Thailand

Abstract Mudskippers (Oxudercinae) are amphibious gobioid fishes inhabiting intertidal and mangrove ecosystems throughout the Indo–West Pacific region. Despite their ecological importance, information on their helminth fauna remains scarce. During a survey of parasites infecting...

Sequence-Dependent PNA–AgNP Bioconjugation Enables Electrochemical Discrimination of a Single-Base Mutation in Zika Virus RNA

Abstract Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in RNA viruses such as Zika virus (ZIKV) can alter viral pathogenicity and are therefore critical molecular markers for surveillance. Here, we report an electrochemical hydrogel biosensor that discriminates a clinically relevant ZIK...

Immunogenicity and safety of high-dose versus double-dose quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in adult kidney transplant recipients: a randomized controlled trial (2023)

Background Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at increased risk of influenza-related complications and often exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. While both high-dose (HD) and double-dose (DD) quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (QIIV) aim to enhance immunogenic...
