Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, with an estimated 12% of women in the United States affected during their lifetime. Researchers have demonstrated that early detection, diagnosis, and treatment are pivotal to increasing survival. The advent of nanotechnology has yielded several novel advances and available modern methods within the clinic to detect and treat breast cancer. Inorganic nanoparticles are broadly utilized for cancer diagnosis and therapeutic purposes. Interestingly, these nanoparticles can also be attached to tumor‐specific ligands and used to deliver chemotherapeutic or hormonal agents with high levels of tumor selectivity. Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the most commonly used nanomaterials, which have attracted much attention to detect and treat breast cancers, owing to their superparamagnetic characteristics. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) utilizing iron‐based magnetic nanoparticles are promising approaches for the radiological detection of breast cancer. Here, we discuss the roles and recent applications of iron oxide nanoparticles in diagnosing and treating breast cancer.

This study evaluated tracheal regeneration studies using scientometric and co-occurrence analysis to identify the most important topics and assess their trends over time. To provide the adequate search options, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) were used to cover various categories such as keywords, countries, organizations, and authors. Search results were obtained by employing Bibexcel. Co-occurrence analysis was applied to evaluate the publications. Finally, scientific maps, author's network, and country contributions were depicted using VOSviewer and NetDraw. Furthermore, the first 25 countries and 130 of the most productive authors were determined. Regarding the trend analysis, 10 co-occurrence terms out of highly frequent words were examined at 5-year intervals. Our findings indicated that the field of trachea regeneration has tested different approaches over the time. In total, 65 countries have contributed to scientific progress both in experimental and clinical fields. Special keywords such as tissue engineering and different types of stem cells have been increasingly used since 1995. Studies have addressed topics such as angiogenesis, decellularization methods, extracellular matrix, and mechanical properties since 2011. These findings will offer evidence-based information about the current status and trends of tracheal replacement research topics over time, as well as countries' contributions.

Cells are smart creatures that respond to every signal after isolation and in vitro culture. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) gradually lose their characteristic spindle shape, multi-lineage differentiation potential, and self-renewal ability, and enter replicative senescence after in vitro expansion. This loss of cellular function is a serious impediment to clinical applications that require huge numbers of cells. It has been proven that substrates with cell imprints can be applied for stem cells' differentiation into desired cells or to re-culture any cell type while maintaining its ordinary activity. This study demonstrated the application of cell-imprinted substrates as a novel method in the long-term expansion of ADSCs while maintaining their stemness. Here we used molecular imprinting of stem cells as a physical signal to maintain stem cells' stemness. First, ADSCs were isolated and cultured on the tissue culture plate. Then, cells were fixed, and stem cell-imprinted substrates were fabricated using PDMS. Afterward, ADSCs were cultured on these substrates and subjected to osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation signals. The results were compared with ADSCs cultured on a polystyrene tissue culture plate and non-patterned PDMS. Morphology analysis with optical and fluorescence microscopy and SEM images illustrated that ADSCs seeded on imprinted substrates kept ADSC morphology. Alizarin Red S and Oil Red O staining, flow cytometry, and qPCR results showed that ADSC-imprinted substrates could reduce the differentiation of stem cells in vitro even if the differentiating stimulations were applied. Also, cell cycle analysis revealed that ADSCs could maintain their proliferation potential. So this method can maintain stem cells' stemness for a long time and reduce the unwanted stem cell differentiation that occurs in conventional cell culture on tissue culture plates.
