Efficacy of treatment with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as adoptive cell therapy: an integrative review.

Objective: This integrative review article examines the efficacy of adoptive cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, with a particular focus on the treatment of melanomas and other solid tumors.

Methods: The methodology encompasses theme definition, comprehensive database searches, and a critical review of pertinent literature. Of the 1,947 articles initially identified, 15 were meticulously selected based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Benfotiamine Supplementation Increases Thiamine in Muscle of Endurance-Trained Mice and Affects the Energy Metabolism.

Background: Benfotiamine, a synthetic analog of thiamine, offers greater bioavailability compared to other thiamine salts and increases thiamine stores upon oral intake. Thiamine is essential for energy metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of oral benfotiamine supplementation on energy metabolism, particularly the Krebs cycle function, in the muscle of endurance-trained mice, and to assess its impact on endurance performance.

First Insight into Lignin Valorization as a Promising Biopolymer for the Modulation of the Physicochemical Properties of Port Wine.

Lignosulfonate (LS), kraft lignin (KL), and organosolv lignin (OL) were evaluated as potential modulating agents of the physicochemical properties of Port wine at two different concentrations for 7 and 30 days. KL and LS demonstrated the ability to remove proteins and potentiate the anthocyanin concentration. LS reduced the tannin content and the interaction of salivary acidic proline-rich proteins with wine phenolic compounds.

Strategies for the incorporation of organosolv lignin in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-based films: A comparative study.

Organosolv lignin extracted from vine pruning residues was added to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based films using three strategies: i) lignin incorporated into the film (lignin-based film), ii) lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) incorporated into the film (LNPs-based film), and iii) lignin coated on HPMC films' surface (lignin-coated film). The films obtained were evaluated in terms of morphology, water barrier and mechanical properties, and antioxidant capacity. Results showed that LNPs incorporation did not affect the films´ water vapour permeability (WVP).

ICAM2 is related to good prognosis in dendritic cell immunotherapy for cancer.

To evaluate the behavior of adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 in dendritic cell (DC) immunotherapy. 88 female Balb/c mice were divided into experimental groups. Tumors and lymph nodes were evaluated 7 and 14 days after immunotherapy.
