Immunity suffers a function deficit during aging, and the incidence of cancer is increased in the elderly. However, most cancer models employ young mice, which are poorly representative of adult cancer patients. We have previously reported that Triple-Therapy (TT), involving antigen-presenting-cell activation by vinorelbine and generation of TCF1-stem-cell-like T cells (scTs) by cyclophosphamide significantly improved anti-PD-1 efficacy in anti-PD1-resistant models like Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), due to T-cell-mediated tumor killing.

Article Synopsis
  • LASIK surgery is the most common type of refractive surgery but carries risks, including infectious keratitis, which can damage the cornea and lead to vision loss.
  • The demand for LASIK is increasing, prompting the medical field to focus on preventing post-operative infections caused by various pathogens.
  • This text discusses a rare case of keratitis post-LASIK surgery caused by Mycobacterium wolinskyi, highlighting its unique clinical and microbial traits and the treatment challenges it poses.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study introduces a simple method for creating hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructures using block copolymer-based photonic microspheres that integrate gold nanoparticles.
  • - The process utilizes confined self-assembly within emulsion droplets to form "onion-like" spherical structures that can effectively incorporate metal ions via a preferential solvent (ethanol).
  • - The final product showcases well-defined optical properties, including a photonic bandgap and plasmonic resonance, proving the effectiveness of this easy two-step fabrication technique for advanced materials.

Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPI) represents the most promising perovskite for single junction solar cells, exhibiting an impressive performance when deposited in a controlled nitrogen environment. In order to foster the real-world application of this technology, the deposition of FAPI in ambient air is a highly desirable prospect, as it would reduce fabrication costs. This study demonstrates that the wettability of FAPI precursors on the hole transporting layers (HTL) used to fabricate inverted -- solar cells is extremely poor in ambient air, hampering the realization of a perovskite active layer with good optoelectronic quality.
