In-vivo efficacy of biodegradable ultrahigh ductility Mg-Li-Zn alloy tracheal stents for pediatric airway obstruction
Tracheal stenosis, a debilitating condition limits air passage to lungs affecting pediatric and adult populations. Current biodegradable polymeric stent therapies are far from ideal. An ultrahigh ductility biodegradable magnesium based alloy (LZ61-KBMS) developed herein may offer a viable solution.
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC): a striking example of race/ethnicity health disparity due largely to genetics
cSCC is a common cancer for non-Hispanic whites and its incidence is increasing not only in non-Hispanic whites but also in Latinos and Asians. Thus, there is a dire need to understand how cSCC may affect patients from diverse genetic ancestry backgrounds differently.
