The Effects of Mindfulness on Lactation: An Integrative Review.

It is well-known that stress and high levels of cortisol can negatively impact lactation outcomes. Mindfulness techniques are also known to be effective at reducing stress, and there has been some research into the effects of these techniques on breastfeeding. However, there has not yet been an integrative review examining the outcomes of the research carried out on this subject in the past 10 years.

Engineered type 1 regulatory T cells designed for clinical use kill primary pediatric acute myeloid leukemia cells.

Type 1 regulatory (Tr1) T cells induced by enforced expression of IL-10 (LV-10) are being developed as a novel treatment for chemotherapy-resistant myeloid leukemias. In vivo, LV-10 cells do not cause graft vs host disease while mediating graft vs leukemia (GvL) effect against adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since pediatric AML (pAML) and adult AML are different on a genetic and epigenetic level, we investigate herein whether LV-10 cells also efficiently kill pAML cells.
