SDF-Net: A Hybrid Detection Network for Mediastinal Lymph Node Detection on Contrast CT Images [PDF]
Accurate lymph node detection and quantification are crucial for cancer diagnosis and staging on contrast-enhanced CT images, as they impact treatment planning and prognosis. However, detecting lymph nodes in the mediastinal area poses challenges due to their low contrast, irregular shapes and dispersed distribution.

This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

Automatic breast cancer grading in lymph nodes using a deep neural network [PDF]
The progression of breast cancer can be quantified in lymph node whole-slide images (WSIs). We describe a novel method for effectively performing classification of whole-slide images and patient level breast cancer grading. Our method utilises a deep neural network.

TLR Agonist Nano Immune Therapy Clears Peritoneal and Systemic Ovarian Cancer
Intraperitoneal administration of immunogenic Toll‐like receptor agonist‐modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles leads to rapid internalization by ascites myeloid cells with trafficking to fat‐associated lymphoid clusters. Activation of myeloid cells counters suppressive immune mechanisms associated with peritoneal metastasis, leading to regional and ...
