Previously, we published an analysis of 149 genomes of 78 different species isolated from the female bladder [14]. Several of the taxa found within the bladder microbiota are also inhabitants of the vaginal microbiota [14,21,22]. This led us to posit that the bacterial communities of these t...
Respiratory diseases cover a broad spectrum, from upper respiratory tract infections to serious conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis (PF), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute lung injury (ALI), lung ischemia–reperfusion injury (LIRI), ...
we also observed a significant increase in the ratio between TNF-α and IL-5 at the same time points, even though the values of TNF-α did not alter during the study time points. Based on the literature, patients with MER-CoV infection presented Th1 and Th17 responses...
Autologous CAR-NK cell therapy uses the patient’s own cells, reducing the risk of rejection and graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD). However, the process of harvesting, modifying, and expanding the patient’s own cells is both time-consuming and expensive. Allogeneic CAR-NK cell therapy offers ...
Protect the treated areas from the sun by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser when washing the treated areas, and pat dry softly. Avoid hot baths, saunas, and strenuous activities for a few days post-treatment. ...
Tukey box-and-whisker plot illustrating Pearson correlations of calcium traces extracted from enhanced data versus raw noisy data with a two-tailed Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test (n= 70). Bottom, Correlation augmentation post-denoising. Each line corresponds to a distinct recording. Scale ...
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a type of vibrant tumor immunotherapy that involves a broad spectrum of immune cells, including dendritic cells (DCs), chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-Ms), T-cell receptor-engineered T cells (TCR-T cells), chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cel...
particularly photoreceptor cells [8,23,25] and glial cells [26], also express CD133, indicating that CD133 plays a general role that is not necessarily linked to a particular condition (e.g., cell stemness or differentiation status) or specific cellular type (epithelial versus nonepithelial) ...
With regard to individual studies, quality versus risk of bias or internal validity are related but distinct concepts, concerned with the critical assessment of individual studies. Risk of bias, refers to aspects of study design, conduct, or analysis that could give rise to systematic error in st...
Lastly, in the necrotroph to biotroph spectrum, some Pythium spp. are necrotrophs whereas others behave as hemibiotrophs like Phytophthora spp. [23]. P. ultimum is a ubiquitous plant pathogen and one of the most pathogenic Pythium spp. on crop species [13]. It does not require another ...
