Currently, CAR T cell therapies are used mainly among patients with relapsed and/or refractory haematological cancers or other high-risk malignancies. As new genetically modified cellular therapies are developed, differences in a range of variables related to the source cell type (T cells, natural k...
The intermittent feeding strategy of six 4-hourly feeds per 24 h for a median duration of four days [range 0–10 days] did not prevent the loss of rectus femoris muscle, despite improved protein and energy delivery and increased peak concentrations of plasma leucine [134]. Thus, although a...
Eighty-five children (mean ± age 11.4 years, range 6-17) with mild to moderate asthma and demonstratable reversibility in FEV (≥ 15%) to a β agonist were recruited. Use of the DPI during the 4-week open treatment period remained constant at 10-12 puffs/week with use of back-up ...

The mean fibre diameter was measured as 565 nm ± 206 nm, which is within the desired nano-range. It can be seen from the image that the fibres were not perfectly bead-free, with some spindle formation. As this is planned to be used as part of a co-axial electrospinning process, ...
