Eliciting Anti-Tumor Immunity by Reprogramming Cancer Cells to Type 1 Conventional Dendritic Cells

IntroductionAn important hallmark of cancer is escaping the immune system. Despite advances in immunotherapy, only a subset of patients experiences clinical benefits. It was shown that adoptive T cell or checkpoint inhibition therapy rely on the presence of conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1). cDC1 excel in recruiting and priming protective CD8+ T cells through cross-presentation. However,

Harnessing Dendritic Cell Reprogramming to Elucidate Mechanisms of Tumor Immunity

The presence of conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) in the tumor correlates with positive treatment outcome. The ability to cross-present neoantigens and prime protective CD8+ T-cell responses, makes cDC1s central for tumor immunity. However, in tumors cDC1 are rare and often functionally impaired. Our group reported that overexpression of the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8 and BATF3 (PIB

Differentiating properties of occupancy rate and workload to estimate crowding : A Swedish national cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND: Emergency department (ED) crowding causes increased patient morbidity and mortality. ED occupancy rate (OR; patients by treatment beds) is a common measure of crowding, but the comparability of ORs between EDs is unknown. The objective of this investigation was to investigate differences in ORs between EDs using staff-perceived workload as reference.METHODS: This was a national cross-s

Perceived usefulness of trauma audit filters in urban India : a mixed-methods multicentre Delphi study comparing filters from the WHO and low and middle-income countries

OBJECTIVE: To compare experts' perceived usefulness of audit filters from Ghana, Cameroon, WHO and those locally developed; generate context-appropriate audit filters for trauma care in selected hospitals in urban India; and explore characteristics of audit filters that correlate to perceived usefulness.DESIGN: A mixed-methods approach using a multicentre online Delphi technique.SETTING: Two large

Densifying Dwelling: Accumulation, Accommodation and Affliction through formal housing in Megacity Mumbai

The ordinary cities are the dominant sites of urban living, theorization and debates. This presentation centrally situates the dimension of urban density to unfold a unique, however, ordinary aspect of urban contention. It situates the state’s formal housing paradigm for the urban poor as the case of theoretical intervention from an ongoing research project. It aims to broaden the understanding of

Climate change and the individual : a perspective of China

As a state where the ruling communist party operates in a central planning mode, the policies of the ruling party and central government exert a great influence on national affairs with a long historical tradition in China, which can be even more obviously illustrated in the issues of climate change. But on the other hand, there is still no specific national climate legislation in China, which is

Does the ‘Chinese model’ of environmental governance demonstrate to the world how to govern the climate?

This debate concerns the relevance and suitability of the ‘Chinese model’ of environmental governance for the rest of the world as other countries grapple with how to govern climate change. Tianbao Qin and Meng Zhang argue that heavily directed and enforced environmental regulation, as manifested in China, is an efficient and effective form of governance for bringing about the necessary structural

Development of China’s environmental legislation

Is China a superhero intent on saving the world economy or a monster focused on damaging the global environment? As a developing country with the largest population in the world, China has wrought a stunning miracle of economic development. However, this rapid economic growth, like a double-edged sword, has given rise to severe environmental problems, such as climate change, water pollution and re

Carbon capture and storage in China: status, regulatory framework and outlook

Nowadays China is increasingly facing strong international pressures to reduce carbon emissions, standing at the cross-road of climate change issues: how to fulfill the emission reduction goal without undermining and blocking its ambitions on sustainable economic development. Facing this situation, carbon capture and storage(CCS)can be a new weapon for China to win the battle of climate change mit

The development of the pilot emission trading in developing China

The Chinese government is acutely aware of the problem of climate change. In the crucial crossroads, carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS), a kind of market-based instruments based on cap-and-trade, has become the new hope of carbon governance and the most important measure adopted to mitigate climate change. Based on the description and analysis on the ongoing process of pilot ETS in China and it

Structural association between heterotopia and cortical lesions visualized with 7T MRI in patients with focal epilepsy

PurposeTo analyse structural characteristics of malformations of cortical development (MCD) at 7T and 3T MRI.MethodsTwenty-five patients were examined with a 7T MRI-scanner in addition to 3T examinations performed for epilepsy evaluation. 7T sequences included a 3D-T1-weighted (T1w) MPRAGE, 3D-T2w FLAIR, and heavily T2w axial and coronal high-resolution (0.5×0.5×0.75-1.0 mm3) 2D-TSE sequences.

Social Dimensions of Resilience and Climate Change: A Rapid Review

Climate change and its associated challenges may have an impact on people and communities. Studies provide conceptual and empirical insight of the relationship between social capital and resilience. However, the social dimensions of resilience have received little attention in climate change research. This short article provides a rapid review of published studies that investigate the social dimen
