Ultrasound (US) is an important diagnostic tool in healthcare, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where it is often the only available imaging modality. However, in remote and resource-limited settings, multiple barriers limit access to ultrasound including a shortage of professional sonographers and long travel distances. Teleultrasound, where non-experts perform US procedures under the […]

C-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc were shown to have a partially redundant function in cells. Since their identification, extensive efforts were made to characterize their respective function at homeostasis and their role in various infamous diseases. Still, very little is known about those proteins at a biophysical level, except for c-MYC. Interestingly, despite being critical for […]

Spinal disorders constitute a significant global health concern, impacting a substantial portion of the population. Clinical studies have consistently highlighted a significant relationship between muscle dysfunction and spinal disorders, emphasizing the crucial role of paraspinal muscles in the biomechanical functioning of the spine. Previous research from our group delving into the microstructural properties of paraspinal […]

Improving the quality of X-ray imaging and radiation therapy is crucial to the efficacy of cancer treatments. Recently, hafnium dioxide nanoparticles (HfO2 NPs) have been approved in the European Union as a radiosensitizer and are currently in clinical trials in the United States. This is based on hafnium’s ability to amplify local radiation doses by […]
