Identification of dual-purpose therapeutic targets implicated in aging and glioblastoma multiforme using PandaOmics - an AI-enabled biological target discovery platform.

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and most common primary malignant brain tumor. The age of GBM patients is considered as one of the disease's negative prognostic factors and the mean age of diagnosis is 62 years. A promising approach to preventing both GBM and aging is to identify new potential therapeutic targets that are associated with both conditions as concurrent drivers.

Lymphocyte resistance to cold anabiosis of different degree.

We studied the resistance of human blood T and B lymphocytes to cold anabiosis (-20 degrees C, -40 degrees C, and -80 degrees C) of different duration.

Effect of cryohypobiosis on conservation of human blood leukocytes.

Morphological and functional indicators were investigated of donor leukocyte concentrates mixed at a ratio of 1 to 1 with three versions of cold-protective and kept at an undercooling temperature (-10 degree C) for 24 hours, and with a cryoprotector of optimal composition for 12 days,. An optimal version of a non-freezing cold-protective solution was found. It was determined that 76+/-4 % of the neutrophils retain there ability of phagocytosis among the viable cells (81+/-5 %) after a 12 day hypobiosis.

[Introduction of human leukocytes in cold anabiosis (-20 degrees C) under an exponential program].

Investigation of effective and accessible method for administration of human blood leukocytes in the cold anabiosis condition at am oderately low temperature of minus 20 degrees C by the exponential program with cryopreservative which does not require washing from the bio-object after its thawing, has been proposed. Morphological and functional properties of the leukocytes after different periods of conservation in the state of cold anabiosis were studied. The data obtained suggest that optimal conservation of the morpho-functional properties of cells with the aid of this method equals 3 weeks.

Phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes at various periods of storage in the state of cold anabiosis (-40 degrees C).

We studied changes in phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes subjected to cold anabiosis. The proposed effective method for introduction of human blood leukocytes into cold anabiosis at moderately low temperature (-40 degrees C) in the presence of a cryopreserving agent does not require washout of the biological material after defrosting.
