A Clinicopathological Study of Angiogenesis in Meningiomas Using Immunohistochemical Markers.

Background: Meningioma is a neoplasm arising from arachnoid cap cells and an important group of tumors of the meninges. The extent of surgical resection is one of the most important factors predicting recurrence along with histologic grading which in turn depends on factors such as the tumor site, vascularity, and peritumoral brain edema.

Objectives: We studied the relationship between Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, angiogenesis, and peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) in different grades and subtypes of meningioma.

A benchmark dataset for validating mutations in .

Unlabelled: Echinocandins are the recommended antifungal therapy for infections in many countries. While echinocandin resistance remains uncommon, recent reports demonstrate an increase in such cases, with the potential for echinocandin-resistant transmission between persons. The expansion of whole-genome sequencing capacity in public health laboratories provides a great opportunity to leverage genomic data to detect echinocandin resistance-conferring mutations.

An overview on in-vivo generation of CAR-T cells using CRISPR-loaded functionalized nanocarriers for treating B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has become a milestone in the management of B cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Yet, the traditional method-dependent on ex vivo manipulation, amplification, and reinfusion of autologous T cells-is high-cost, low-scalability, and severely immune-related toxicity. Here, we report a new nano-immunoengineering platform that allows in vivo production of chimeric antigen receptor T cells through the use of functionalized nanoparticles carrying clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) gene editing elements.

Estimated Burden of Coccidioidomycosis.

Importance: Coccidioidomycosis is an underrecognized fungal infection that can cause serious illness and constitutes a considerable public health burden. The number of cases is likely substantially higher than the nationally reported total, as surveillance does not capture patients who do not seek medical care or who are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Coccidioidomycosis is not reportable in all states, and cases not reported to public health entities are likewise missed.
