Defining melanoma combination therapies that provide senolytic sensitivity in human melanoma cells.

Malignant Melanoma that resists immunotherapy remains the deadliest form of skin cancer owing to poor clinically lasting responses. Alternative like genotoxic or targeted chemotherapy trigger various cancer cell fates after treatment including cell death and senescence. Senescent cells can be eliminated using senolytic drugs and we hypothesize that the targeted elimination of therapy-induced senescent melanoma cells could complement both conventional and immunotherapies.

Premature thymic functional senescence is a hallmark of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivorship.

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) survivors suffer early-onset chronic diseases classically associated with aging. Normal aging is accompanied by organ dysfunctions, including immunological ones. We hypothesize that thymic immunosenescence occurs in cALL survivors and that its severity may correlate with early-onset chronic diseases.

investigation of Lcr35 anti-candidiasis properties in reveals the involvement of highly conserved immune pathways.

Lactic acid bacteria, including the microorganisms formerly designated as , are the major representatives of Live Biotherapeutic Microorganisms (LBM) when used for therapeutic purposes. However, in most cases, the mechanisms of action remain unknown. The antifungal potential of LBM has already been demonstrated using preclinical models (cell cultures, laboratory animals).

Preoperative evaluation of depth of invasion in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The inclusion of depth of invasion (DOI) in the American Joint Committee on Cancer's staging system for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has major clinical impacts. Recent studies have evaluated the reliability of imaging modalities and biopsy techniques to measure DOI preoperatively. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to comprehensively include all previously described methods to measure preoperative DOI in oral tongue SCC (OTSCC) and to compare their reliability.

Visual and Refractive Outcomes Following Laser Blended Vision With Non-linear Aspheric Micro-anisometropia (PRESBYOND) in Myopic and Hyperopic Patients.

Purpose: To report 6-month visual and refractive outcomes following PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision (Carl Zeiss Meditec) treatment using non-linear aspheric micro-anisometropia laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopic and hyperopic presbyopia.

Methods: A retrospective, non-comparative study of 139 consecutive patients with a mean age of 53.13 ± 5.
