Abstract Following the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), the number of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‐HCT) for chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has dramatically decreased. Imatinib was the first TKI introduced to the clinical arena, predominantly utilized in the first line ...

Regulation of autoimmunity and donor cell engraftment by recipient Lyt-2+ cells during the graft-versus-host reaction. [PDF]
When lymphocytes from DBA/2 mice are transferred to (C57BL X DBA/2)F1 (BDF1) mice, the ensuing graft-vs.-host reaction (GVHR) causes an autoimmune illness resembling human SLE.

Generalizing causal inferences from individuals in randomized trials to all trial-eligible individuals [PDF]
We consider methods for causal inference in randomized trials nested within cohorts of trial-eligible individuals, including those who are not randomized. We show how baseline covariate data from the entire cohort, and treatment and outcome data only from randomized individuals, can be used to identify potential (counterfactual) outcome means and ...

Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

Magnetron plasma mediated immobilization of hyaluronic acid for the development of functional double-sided biodegradable vascular graft [PDF]
The clinical need for vascular grafts is associated with cardiovascular diseases frequently leading to fatal outcomes. Artificial vessels based on bioresorbable polymers can replace the damaged vascular tissue or create a bypass path for blood flow while stimulating regeneration of a blood vessel in situ.
