Immunoregulatory mechanisms of the arachidonic acid pathway in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The central role of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in anticancer immunity. Enzymes and metabolites of the AA pathway can play both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory roles in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, their tailored targeting could be beneficial as a standalone therapy or in combination with current cancer immunotherapy.

Penalties and Rewards for Fair Learning in Paired Kidney Exchange Programs [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A kidney exchange program, also called a kidney paired donation program, can be viewed as a repeated, dynamic trading and allocation mechanism. This suggests that a dynamic algorithm for transplant exchange selection may have superior performance in comparison to the repeated use of a static algorithm.

Game theoretical analysis of Kidney Exchange Programs [PDF]
European Journal of Operational Research, Volume 305, Issue 1,
2023, Pages 373-385, 2019 The goal of a kidney exchange program (KEP) is to maximize number of transplants within a pool of incompatible patient-donor pairs by exchanging donors. A KEP can be modelled as a maximum matching problem in a graph. A KEP between incompatible patient-donor from pools of several hospitals, regions or countries has the potential to increase the number ...
