Activity Of Cytotoxic Lymphocytes In Patients With Preeclampsia
With preeclampsia, the average levels of biochemical parameters in mild and severe form did not differ significantly from those in the group with uncomplicated preeclampsia of pregnancy. There is a tendency to a decrease in total protein and an increase in bilirubin, creatinine, urea, and blood trans-ferases as it becomes heavier.

Single‐cell insights into the role of T cells in B‐cell malignancies
Single‐cell technologies have transformed our understanding of T cell–tumor cell interactions in B‐cell malignancies, revealing new T‐cell subsets, functional states, and immune evasion mechanisms. This Review synthesizes these findings, highlighting the roles of T cells in pathogenesis, progression, and therapy response, and underscoring their ...

ANTIMICROBIAL AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF ALKALOIDS PRODUCED BY ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI
In this study, 55 endophytic fungal strains isolated from alkaloid containing plants in Mongolia were screened for their production of alkaloids. TLC analysis of ethanolic crude extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids in 5 endophytic fungal strains ...

Axitinib induces senescence-associated cell death and necrosis in glioma cell lines: The proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, potentiates axitinib-induced cytotoxicity in a p21(Waf/Cip1) dependent manner. [PDF]
Glioblastoma is associated with a poor overall survival despite new treatment advances. Antiangiogenic strategies targeting VEGF based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are currently undergoing extensive research for the treatment of glioma.

Inherited defects in lymphocyte cytotoxic activity
Summary: The granule‐dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes plays a critical role in the defense against virally infected cells and tumor cells. The importance of this cytotoxic pathway in immune regulation is evidenced by the severe and often fatal condition, known as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytic syndrome (HLH) that occurs in mice and humans

Exploiting the neoantigen landscape for immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Immunotherapy approaches for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have met with limited success. It has been postulated that a low mutation load may lead to a paucity of T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Cytotoxic Activities and Structure-Cytotoxic Relationships of Steroidal Saponins.
We have systematically examined the cytotoxic activities of the steroidal saponins mainly isolated from the Liliaceae plants against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells and found several structure-activity relationships. Some steroidal saponins evaluated in the assay system showed considerable cytotoxic activities, which were almost as potent as ...
