Anti-Tumor Effects of TRAIL-Expressing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in a Mouse Xenograft Model of Human Mesothelioma [PDF]
, 2015 Malignant mesothelioma (MM) remains a highly deadly malignancy with poor treatment option. The MM cells further promote a highly inflammatory microenvironment which contributes to tumor initiation, development, severity, and propagation. We reasoned that

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Folate receptor‐⍺ (FR‐⍺) is an attractive target for targeted therapy. Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating adult patients with FR‐⍺ positive, platinum‐resistant epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Therefore,

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.
