The evolving field of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, though promising, necessitates more comprehensive imaging methods to enhance therapeutic effectiveness and track cell trafficking in patients and ex vivo. This review examines the application of PET imaging in CAR T-cell trafficking and optimizing their therapeutic impact. The application of PET imaging using various radiotracers is promising in providing evaluation of CAR T-cell interaction within the host, thereby facilitating strategies for improved patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The transition from fetal hemoglobin to adult hemoglobin in red blood cells involves a complex gene regulation system, where HIC2 plays a crucial role by inhibiting the repressor BCL11A, which blocks fetal hemoglobin production.
  • HIC2 expression is regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs), particularly the let-7 family, which decreases HIC2 levels in adult cells and thereby promotes BCL11A activity.
  • The study reveals that this miRNA-mediated pathway (let-7 ⊣ HIC2 ⊣ BCL11A ⊣ HBG) is key in silencing fetal hemoglobin production as cells develop from fetal to adult stages.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor in adults, with a dismal prognosis despite aggressive multi-modal therapy. Immunotherapy is currently being evaluated as an alternate treatment modality for recurrent GBMs in clinical trials. These immunotherapeutic approaches harness the patient's immune response to fight and eliminate tumor cells.

Flow research of the development of receptor bronchial system was conducted in this work since the first day in 4th week of extra-uterine life, by following reactions of isolated tracheal rings in acetylcholine (Ach), histamine (Hist), and prostaglandin (PGF2-alfa) in concentrations of: 10(-4), 10(-3), 10(-2), 10(-1), mol/dm3, at piggy's of ages: 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks. Results shows that Ach causes reaction of smooth muscles since the first day of extra-uterine life in a significant way (p < 0.01).
