Informed Consent in Genomic Testing: Healthcare Professionals’ Perceptions on the Value of a Dynamic Consent Platform in Precision Oncology

This qualitative study involving 11 healthcare professionals and a consumer representative found that a dynamic consent platform (CoGenT) could effectively address time barriers and enhance understanding in precision oncology by complementing, rather than replacing, face-to-face discussions, provided it is tailored to specialty-specific needs and prioritizes privacy and usability.

Phytocarbon Dots as an Oral Nano-Degrader of ENO1 for Alleviating Hepatic Fibrosis

This study presents an oral nanotherapeutic platform based on phytocarbon dots derived from *Dianthus superbus* that alleviates hepatic fibrosis by acting as molecular glues to induce the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the upregulated protein ENO1, thereby suppressing the PI3K/AKT-Smad3 pathway.

Light-triggerable phage nanobots reduce neoplastic burden through precise photoablation of cancer cells

This study demonstrates that engineered M13 phage nanobots, functionalized with a tumor-targeting antibody and loaded with Rose Bengal photosensitizers, effectively reduce neoplastic burden in both murine xenografts and human ovarian cancer models by precisely delivering the payload to EGFR-expressing cells for light-triggered photoablation.

Effect of population-wide repeated dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine mass drug administration in Ghana: a cluster-randomised trial

This cluster-randomised trial in Ghana demonstrates that five rounds of community-wide dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine mass drug administration significantly reduced malaria parasite prevalence by 94%, lowered reinfection risk, and improved haemoglobin outcomes in a moderate-to-high transmission setting without serious adverse events.
