Engineering CAR‐T Therapeutics for Enhanced Solid Tumor Targeting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
CART cell therapy has proven effective for blood cancers but struggles with solid tumors due to diverse antigens and complex environments. Recent efforts focus on improving CAR design and validation platforms. Advances in protein engineering, machine learning, and organoid systems aim to enhance CAR‐T therapy against solid tumors.

Modeling TB-HIV syndemic and treatment [PDF]

J. Appl. Math. 2014 (2014), Art. ID 248407, 14 pp, 2014
Tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be considered a deadly human syndemic. In this article, we formulate a model for TB and HIV transmission dynamics. The model considers both TB and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) treatment for individuals with only one of the infectious diseases or both.

HIV-Infected Patients

Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 2009
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) or allogeneic SCT can lead to durable remissions in patients with hematologic malignancies. In the mid-1980s the first studies demonstrating the use of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) for autologous transplantation instead of bone marrow (BM) were performed.

Is the HCV-HIV co-infection prevalence amongst injecting drug users a marker for the level of sexual and injection related HIV transmission?

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Amongst injecting drug users (IDUs), HIV is transmitted sexually and parenterally, but HCV is transmitted primarily parenterally. We assess and model the antibody prevalence of HCV amongst HIV-infected IDUs (denoted as HCV-HIV co-infection ...
