The human intestine plays a pivotal role in nutrient absorption and immune system regulation. Along the longitudinal axis, cell-type composition changes to meet the varying functional requirements. Therefore, our protocol focuses on the processing of the whole human intestine to facilitate the analysis of region-specific characteristics such as tissue architecture and changes in cell populations.

In Cameroon, no study has yet defined a cut-off score or the prevalence of perinatal depression in adolescent mothers. Our aim is to determine the cut-off for teenage mothers in Cameroon.

- Transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß1 is known to encourage tumor growth while also suppressing the immune system's ability to fight tumors; its latent form is associated with glycoprotein-A repetition predominant (GARP) on regulatory T cells.
- Livmoniplimab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the GARP:TGF-ß1 complex to impede the activation and release of TGF-ß1, and it's being studied in combination with another antibody, budigalimab, in a clinical trial for patients with advanced solid tumors.
- In the trial, 57 patients were treated with dosages ranging up to 1500mg, with manageable side effects like fatigue and nausea reported; while no
A series of high-density polyethylene and a statistical copolymer of poly(propylene-co-ethylene) blends in a wide range, namely (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,70, 80, 90, 100) abbreviated as HDPE/VM were systematically investigated by using a rheometer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, polarized optical microscopy (POM) and tensile tests. Rheometer results show that adding VM decreases dynamic viscosity, storage, and loss modulus. Han plot shows that HDPE and VM are compatible and miscible in the range from 20 to 60 VM % in the molten state.

Objective: To examine whether changes in survival without moderate or severe neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18-26 months' corrected age from 1999 to 2018 differed between male and female infants.
Design: This retrospective cohort study used data from the NICHD Neonatal Research Network hospitals. Robust Poisson regression models were used to estimate adjusted relative risks (aRRs) and 95% CIs for survival without moderate or severe NDI between males and females.
