A study was carried out to determine the titres of haemagglutination inhibiting and neuraminidase antibodies after vaccination of 90 subjects, aged 19 to 35 years, with three aluminium oxide adsorbate and three fluid monovalent influenza A/New Jersey/8/76 vaccines with 54, 108 and 216 IU/dose. Blood samples were taken 1, 3 and 6 months after vaccination. The serological findings showed that adsorbate vaccines induced higher antibody titres than did fluid vaccines with double the antigen content. 'Unprimed persons' reacted to the adsorbate vaccine vaccination with a much higher antibody formation response.

Introduction: Endothelial cells (ECs) play a crucial role in many treatments for cardiovascular diseases, such as blood vessel repair, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. The process of differentiating these cells is complex and involves various sources and numerous molecular and cellular events. Differentiating pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into endothelial cells are one of the most effective sources for creating ECs in the lab and offers great potential for regenerative medicine.

Previous preclinical and translational studies suggest that tissue trauma related to bony fracture and intervertebral disk disruption initiates the formation of pronociceptive antibodies that support chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions. This study tested this hypothesis in the monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) mouse model of osteoarthritis (OA) and extended the findings using OA patient samples. Monosodium iodoacetate was injected unilaterally into the knees of male and female wild-type (WT) and muMT mice (lacking B cells) to induce articular cartilage damage.

Background: The biopharmaceutical industry is increasingly interested in the analysis of trace metals due to their significant impact on product quality and drug safety. Certain metals can potentially accelerate the formation of degradants or aggregates in biotherapeutic proteins, leading to drug product quality concerns. A better understanding of metal-mAb interactions would aid in the development of purification processes and formulations, thereby ensuring better drug quality and safety.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) stands as the sixth most common cause of cancer-related mortality on a global scale, with a strikingly high proportion-over half-of these fatalities occurring within China. The emergence of radiation resistance in ESCC patients significantly diminishes overall survival rates, complicating treatment regimens and reducing clinical outcomes. There is an urgent need to explore the molecular mechanisms that underpin radiation resistance in ESCC, which could lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets aimed at overcoming this resistance.
