Development of a Mammalian Cell Line for Stable Production of Anti-PD-1.

Immune checkpoint blockade, particularly targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor, is a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy. The interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, is crucial in immune evasion by tumors. Blocking this interaction with monoclonal antibodies like Nivolumab can restore anti-tumor immunity.

1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene Content of Riesling Wines in Hungary.

1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) is known to give a petrol note when smelling and tasting wine, which is most pronounced in Riesling varieties. Its increasing concentration has been linked to climate change. In the present work, a gas chromatographic method was used to quantify free TDN in "Italian Riesling", "Rhine Riesling", and "Kéknyelű" wines from Hungary.

Can food parenting practices explain the association between parental education and children's food intake? The Feel4Diabetes-study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of food parenting practices (FPP), including home availability of different types of foods and drinks, parental modelling of fruit intake, permissiveness and the use of food as a reward in the relationship between parental education and dietary intake in European children.

Design: Single mediation analyses were conducted to explore whether FPP explain associations between parents' educational level and children's dietary intake measured by a parent-reported FFQ.

Setting: Six European countries.

Diet quality in association to lipidaemic profile in adults of families at high-risk for type 2 diabetes in Europe: The Feel4Diabetes study.

Background And Aims: The role of diet in blood lipids is scarcely investigated in adults at risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and even less studied regarding their socioeconomic status (SES).

Stay-at-home order had an impact on consumers' food purchase habits, as people around the world were able to leave their homes solely in extremely severe or urgent cases. In our research, we delve into the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on consumers' food purchase habits.

Vaccine Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Causing a Severe Form of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis With High Fatality Rate: A Case Series.

During a 2-week period, we have encountered five cases presenting with the combination of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), intracerebral hemorrhage and thrombocytopenia. A clinical hallmark was the rapid and severe progression of disease in spite of maximum treatment efforts, resulting in fatal outcome in for 4 out of 5 patients. All cases had received ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine 1-2 weeks earlier and developed a characteristic syndrome thereafter.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a school- and community-based intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent type 2 diabetes in vulnerable families across Europe: the Feel4Diabetes-study.

The Feel4Diabetes-study implemented a school- and community-based intervention to promote healthy lifestyle and prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in six European countries. The intervention included a special focus on families at increased T2DM risk. The current study evaluates the intervention's cost-effectiveness.

European Childhood Obesity Risk Evaluation (CORE) index based on perinatal factors and maternal sociodemographic characteristics: the Feel4Diabetes-study.

The aim of this study was to develop and examine the predictive accuracy of an index that estimates obesity risk in childhood based on perinatal factors and maternal sociodemographic characteristics. Analysis was conducted by using cross-sectional and retrospective data collected from a European cohort of 2775 schoolchildren and their families participating in the Feel4Diabetes-study. The cohort was randomly divided by using two-thirds of the sample for the development of the index and the remaining one third for assessing its predictive accuracy.
