In vivo administration of hypomethylating agents mitigate graft-versus-host disease without sacrificing graft-versus-leukemia.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) while preserving a beneficial graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. Thus, their use in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) provides a promising strategy to treat GVHD. However, 3 obstacles prevent their routine use in human clinical trials: (1) low circulating number of Tregs in peripheral blood, (2) loss of suppressor fu...
متن کاملEnhancing Media Playback Security without Sacrificing Performance
Many problem domains require software solutions that have specific constraints on performance to be useful. One particular subset of these problems is the set of problems in the real-time domain, which require computation to complete within a timeframe associated with some physical world frame of reference. For example, systems in the domain of software radio, transportation control, and media ...
متن کاملIrinotecan and 5-FU/ leucovorin in metastatic colorectal cancer: balancing efficacy, toxicity, and logistics.
Variations of fluorouracil (5-FU) therapy have formed the backbone of chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer for many years. With the advent of newer agents that often work best with or even require chemotherapy to optimize their activity, the issue of the optimal schedule and regimen of administration of 5-FU has taken on a renewed importance. The combination of irinotecan with 5-FU/leuco...
متن کاملTyrphostin 4-nitrobenzylidene malononitrile reduces chemotherapy toxicity without impairing efficacy.
In mice, 4-nitrobenzylidene malononitrile (AG1714), which belongs to the tyrphostin family, reduced toxicity induced by doxorubicin and cisplatin without impairing their antitumor efficacy. AG1714 reduced mortality induced by doxorubicin and cisplatin. It prevented, in a dose-dependent manner, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity as assessed by measurement of serum creatinine and blood urea nitroge...
متن کاملPralatrexate Pharmacology and Clinical Development Running Title: PRALATREXATE
Folates are well known to be essential for many cellular processes, including cellular proliferation. As a consequence, antifolates, the fraudulent mimics of folic acid, have been shown to be potent therapeutic agents in many cancers. Over the past several decades, efforts to improve on this class of drugs have met with little success. Recently, one analog specifically designed to have high aff...
