Estimating Optimal Dynamic Treatment Regimes Using Irregularly Observed Data: A Target Trial Emulation and Bayesian Joint Modeling Approach [PDF]
An optimal dynamic treatment regime (DTR) is a sequence of decision rules aimed at providing the best course of treatments individualized to patients. While conventional DTR estimation uses longitudinal data, such data can also be irregular, where patient-level variables can affect visit times, treatment assignments and outcomes. In this work, we first

This study optimizes sterilization methods for bioprinted 3D corneal stroma patches made from cornea‐derived decellularized extracellular matrix (Co‐dECM) hydrogels and human keratocytes. It demonstrates the superiority of electron beam sterilization in preserving the mechanical, biochemical, and immunomodulatory properties of hydrogels, ensuring ...

Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models
This review discusses kidney diseases with a focus on kidney fibrosis and the models currently used. It highlights the limitations of animal and 2D in vitro models in replicating human kidney anatomy and physiology. Consequently, there is a significant need for humanized 3D in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, membranes and hydrogels, on‐chip ...
