Traditional Chinese Medicine Properties and Microcalorimetry: BioScience Evaluation

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The properties theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), characterized by cold, hot, warm, and cool four properties, is fundamental to its development, distinguishing it from natural, botanical, and chemical medicines. However, despite its significance, there is no unified theoretical definition, bioscientific characterization, or ...

Machine learning for subgroup discovery under treatment effect [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In many practical tasks it is needed to estimate an effect of treatment on individual level. For example, in medicine it is essential to determine the patients that would benefit from a certain medicament. In marketing, knowing the persons that are likely to buy a new product would reduce the amount of spam.

Native and Engineered Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Small Science, EarlyView.
Both native and engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) are served as promising therapeutic agents for treating acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To circumvent the limitations of native EVs, various engineering strategies are adopted.
