Behind the Paper: How IL-6 shapes the anti-tumor battle and supports TGFβ immune modulatory vaccines in pancreatic cancer
The study highlights that the antitumor efficacy of TGFβ-specific T cells in pancreatic cancer critically depends on IL-6 signaling. IL-6R blockade compromises the immune response by reducing vaccine-induced T-cell infiltration as well as increasing immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages.
Exploration of drug repurposing for Mpox outbreaks targeting gene signatures and host-pathogen interactions
Monkeypox (Mpox) has emerged as a public health concern. In our study, we explored drug repurposing through multi-omics approaches to identify therapeutic targets. Our findings highlight key host-pathogen interactions (HPI), offering valuable insights for future treatments.
Multimodal model in the prediction of the delivery mode
We utilize these heterogeneous data obtained by the digital twin-empowered labour monitoring system to develop and assess an automated assessment tool capable of predicting the delivery mode.
Digital Twin for Fetal and Maternal Health
Digital Twin-Empowered Labour Monitoring System (DTLMS) is developed by Guangzhou Lianyin Medical Co., Ltd. (Lian-Med, China) for comprehensive maternal and fetal safety monitoring, and also offers decision support to optimize the use of caesarean section.
