Carrier‐Free, Amorphous Verteporfin Nanodrug for Enhanced Photodynamic Cancer Therapy and Brain Drug Delivery
1 Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) accounts for ≈50% of malignant primary brain tumors and has a five-year survival rate of only 6.9%.[1] Surgical resection improves survival, but ultimately tumor cells that have invaded the surrounding brain tissue limit complete tumor removal without significant neurological injury. These residual GBM cells, usually situated within the 2–3 centimeter margin of the resection cavity,[2] lead to nearly universal tumor recurrence and patient death.
Identification of NanoLuciferase Substrates Transported by Human ABCB1 and ABCG2 and their Zebrafish Homologs at the Blood-Brain Barrier
Abstract ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters expressed at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impede delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain, including agents to treat neurodegenerative diseases and primary and metastatic brain cancers. Two transporters, P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and ABCG2, are highly expressed at the BBB and are responsible for the efflux of numerous clinically useful chemotherapeutic agents, including irinotecan, paclitaxel, and doxorubicin.

Hook Plate Versus Distal Locking Plate for the Fixation of Unstable Distal Clavicle Injuries, Outcomes and Complications: A Meta-Analysis
Distal clavicle fractures account for about 10%-30% of all clavicle fractures [1,2] and 50% of nonunion cases [3]. Injuries to the lateral third of the clavicle could lead to disruption of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament compromising the stability of the fracture and the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), thus, resulting in higher rates of malunion and nonunion [1].

A Senior’s Rating of Every UMN Campus Bar
After four years at the University of Minnesota, my undergraduate journey is coming to an end. It is only right I review all the campus watering holes for future generations of Gophers to see. The average college student at the University of Minnesota will likely stumble into one of these bars throughout their four years. As a disclaimer, everything about these ratings are arbitrary and taken by someone of the legal drinking age. All opinions are none but my own.
