A Preliminary Investigation towards the Risk Stratification of Allogeneic Stem Cell Recipients with Respect to the Potential for Development of GVHD via Their Pre-Transplant Plasma Lipid and Metabolic Signature [PDF]

, 2019
The clinical outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) may be influenced by the metabolic status of the recipient following conditioning, which in turn may enable risk stratification with respect to the development of transplant-

Roadmap to Nanomedical Applications: Nanotoxicology and In Vitro Guidelines for Lanthanide‐Doped Luminescence Nanothermometers

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Lanthanide‐based luminescence nanothermometry holds multifaceted potential for nanomedical applications, yet despite significant research advances, clinical translation of the engineered nanomaterials is still controversial and widely disputed. This is related to crucial nanotoxicological aspects that must be addressed at the preclinical level ...

Osmotic properties of polyethyleneglycols: quantitative features of brush and bulk scaling laws [PDF]

arXiv, 2002
From glycosylated cell surfaces to sterically stabilized liposomes, polymers attached to membranes attract biological and therapeutic interest. Can the scaling laws of polymer "brushes" describe the physical properties of these coats? We delineate conditions where the Alexander - de Gennes theory of polymer brushes successfully describes the ...

Antibiotics, duration of infectiousness, and transmission of disease [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Humans, domestic animals, orchard crops, and ornamental plants are commonly treated with antibiotics in response to bacterial infection. By curing infectious individuals, antibiotic therapy might limit the spread of contagious disease among hosts. But antibiotic suppression of within-host pathogen density might also reduce the probability that the host

Bioinspired Cationic Antimicrobial Polymers

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Antibiotics are an essential tool of modern medicine, which is critically endangered by the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Without effective antibiotics, a number of medical advancements from the last century are in jeopardy, threatening our global public health and leading to a high death toll.

Treatment of Severe Steroid-Refractory Acute-Graft-vs.-Host Disease With Mesenchymal Stem Cells–Single Center Experience

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018
The most effective treatment of steroid refractory acute graft vs. host disease (aGvHD) is not yet established and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) appear to be a promising therapy for the condition. We report single center case series of three patients, who

Competent hosts and endemicity of multi-host diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this paper we propose a method to study a general vector-hosts mathematical model in order to explain how the changes in biodiversity could influence the dynamics of vector-borne diseases. We find that under the assumption of frequency-dependent transmission, i.e.

Development of a Novel Double‐Layered Wound Dressing Composed of Chitosan Film and Tigecycline‐Loaded Electrospun Polycaprolactone Nanofibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The antibacterial double‐layered wound dressing is fabricated using chitosan (CH) film as the contact layer and tigecycline (Tig)‐loaded poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers as the top layer. The CH film has a uniform morphology, and the PCL‐Tig nanofibers show a smooth, randomly oriented, and beadless structure.

Cytokine Detection and Modulation in Acute Graft vs. Host Disease in Mice

Mediators of Inflammation, 1994
A murine model for acute lethal graft vs. host disease (GVHD) was used to study the role that a number of cytokines play in the development of lethal GVHD. In this study we focused on the role of IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ and TNF-α.

Complement and CD4+ T cells drive context-specific corneal sensory neuropathy

eLife, 2019
Whether complement dysregulation directly contributes to the pathogenesis of peripheral nervous system diseases, including sensory neuropathies, is unclear.
