A Novel Technique For Microsurgery On Calcified Arteries

The researches find that the indications for free tissue transfer have expanded since the advent of microsurgery over the last 50 years. However, microsurgery on vessels containing calcified plaque presents several unique technical challenges. As calcified vessels thicken, they become stiff and difficult to handle during surgery. Needle and anastomotic holes may remain patent, leading…

HIV Vaccine Protection Identifying A Transcriptional Signature In B Cells

New sequencing study providing insight into HIV vaccine protection; identifying a transcriptional signature in B cells associating with protection from SIV or HIV infection; in five independent trials of HIV-1 vaccines candidates. The gene expression signature was finding to correlate with protection in the only human HIV vaccine trial; that previously showed modest efficacy, RV144.…

Immune Cell Populations Target The Cancer Cells Or Promote Their Growth

The study find that cancer cells are notorious for their camouflage work, which enables them to escape immune targeting. Now scientists are learning how to strip away the disguise and allow the immune system to do its work; by targeting cells called myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that shield the tumor. This would also enhance the…
