Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell therapy, originally employed in hematological malignancies treatment, has made significant strides in addressing solid tumors in recent years. Presently, second-generation CAR-T therapy has reached clinical implementation, while fifth-generation CAR-T therapy is in active development. However, initial clinical trials in solid tumors have shown limited success, primarily due to the immunosuppressive microenvironment of the tumor and the scarcity of tumor-specific antigens.

Purpose Of Review: Persistent disparities in access to kidney transplantation, particularly living donor transplant and preemptive transplant, have gained increasing national attention including efforts to describe their multifactorial root causes. Multilevel structural impediments occurring at the recipient, donor, clinician, and health system level contribute to these disparities. This review overviews these key barriers, as well as recent successful interventions designed to address longstanding disparities.

On July 11, 1992, eighteen years after the Carnation Revolution ended the fascist dictatorship in Portugal, the Portuguese public broadcaster ran a news story about the launch of the first ever gay magazine to reach Portuguese newsstands, one that was written in Portuguese despite still bearing the title of its parent publication, .

In this article, we offer a critical picture of 's peculiar place in the landscape of late 20-century homosexual media in Europe.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by decreased platelet counts and increased bleeding risk. Although paediatric ITP often resolves spontaneously, some children do not respond to first-line treatments, thus requiring rituximab as a second-line therapy to reduce bleeding risks and corticosteroid exposure. Currently, there is no reliable method to predict the efficacy of rituximab.

Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science is ascendant within public health in the United States, but D&I scientists have long voiced concern at their field's capacity to fulfill two essential and intertwined public health responsibilities: analyzing and intervening in macrosocial determinants and achieving health equity. To help break this impasse, we explore D&I's theoretical roots by critically reviewing three historical eras, eras that D&I's origin story has identified as foundational to D&I's development: 1890-1903: Tarde's Laws of Imitation. 1920-1960: Rural Sociology.
