PD‐L1 Promotes Immunological Tolerance and Enhances Visual Protection of hESC‐RPE Grafts in Retinal Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
We generated immune‐tolerant mature hESC‐RPE cells by overexpressing PD‐L1. PD‐L1‐expressing hESC‐RPE grafts exhibited significantly higher survival, reduced apoptosis and enhanced visual protection in retinal degeneration models, which presents an alternative target to improve the efficiency of hESC‐RPE‐based therapy for AMD. ABSTRACT Immune rejection

Bessel Function Model for Corneal Topography [PDF]

Applied Mathematics and Computation 223 (2013), 436-443, 2011
In this paper we consider a new nonlinear mathematical model for corneal topography formulated as two-point boudary value problem. We derive it from first physical principles and provide some mathematical analysis. The existence and uniqeness theorems are proved as well as various estimates on exact solution.

Tirzepatide 10 and 15 mg versus semaglutide 2.4 mg in people with obesity or overweight with type 2 diabetes: An indirect treatment comparison

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Tirzepatide and semaglutide demonstrated clinically meaningful weight reduction in people with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in SURMOUNT‐2 and STEP 2 clinical trials, respectively. In the absence of head‐to‐head trials, this study compared the efficacy of tirzepatide 10 and 15 mg with semaglutide 2.4 mg using an indirect
