Association of prior fluoroquinolone treatment with survival outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors in Asia.

What Is Known And Objective: Gut microbiota plays an important role in shaping immune responses. Several studies have reported that antibiotics may alter gut microbiota diversity and compromise the therapeutic response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Nevertheless, the impact of a specific class of antibiotics on ICIs therapy is still not known.

A structure-free digital microfluidic platform for detection of influenza a virus by using magnetic beads and electromagnetic forces.

H1N1, a subtype of influenza A virus, has emerged as a global threat in the past decades. Due to its highly infectious nature, an accurate and rapid detection assay is urgently required. Therefore, this study presents a new type of digital microfluidic platform for H1N1 virus detection by utilizing a one-aptamer/two-antibodies assay on magnetic beads.
