Insights

This case report compares two positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers for staging multiple myeloma (MM). 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) targeting Pentixafor show potential for MM detection and staging.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiochemistry

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy originating in the bone marrow.
  • Diagnosis and staging of MM typically involve blood/urine tests and imaging.
  • Positron emission tomography (PET) is a key imaging modality for MM staging.

Role of Septins01:02

Role of Septins

Septins are the recently discovered fourth major protein component of the cytoskeleton, along with microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These proteins can associate with other cytoskeletal filaments and carry out varied roles or can be free-floating in the cytoplasm.
Cellular Functions of Septins
Recent studies have revealed the multifaceted roles of septins in various cellular processes such as cytokinesis, ciliogenesis, and neurogenesis. Septins act as scaffolds and...

The Role of Culture

Culture plays a crucial role in shaping self-identity and influencing thought and behavior, a foundational interest within social psychology. The multicultural perspective recognizes that individuals do not exist in a vacuum; instead, their experiences, perceptions, and actions are deeply influenced by the intersecting dimensions of their cultural, ethnic, and social group affiliations.Cultural Influence on Self-Identity and Social PerceptionCultural frameworks inform how individuals define...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
