Harnessing chimeric antigen receptor macrophages against solid tumors
Abstract Macrophages are prevalent in multiple tumors and exhibit diverse and potent functional activities. Therapeutic reprogramming of macrophage phenotypes represents a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy. Engineering chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to endow macrophages with anti‐tumor capacities demonstrated encouraging efficacy ...

Laser Disinfection Acts as Biofilm‐Disrupter in Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)
ABSTRACT Infections after joint arthroplasties represent a devastating and progressively escalating complication with increased morbidity and mortality. The eradication of biofilms from infected implants is still an unsolved challenge. The erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, which delivers high‐energy light for rapid tissue ablation ...

Biofilms in Periprosthetic Orthopedic Infections [PDF]
As the number of total joint arthroplasty and internal fixation procedures continues to rise, the threat of infection following surgery has significant clinical implications. These infections may have highly morbid consequences to patients, who often endure additional surgeries and lengthy exposures to systemic antibiotics, neither of which are ...

Identification of miRNA Biomarkers Associated With Staphylococcal Musculoskeletal Infections
ABSTRACT Musculoskeletal infections (MSKIs) pose significant challenges in orthopedic surgery. These infections are often caused by Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis. Early diagnosis is crucial, as it allows prompt treatment before the infection becomes chronic and more difficult to manage.
