As a response to aging of cultured urease-producing microorganisms, the blending method was examined to obtain the required carbonate production amount using the apparent viability (Rcv) based on previous research. As a result, a significantly higher carbonate content than the amount of CaCl2 2H2O used was produced. Since this trend has been obtained in p ...

Adoptive cell transfer (ACT)-based immunotherapy has emerged as a transformative approach for treating cancer, offering durable responses through the ex vivo expansion and reinfusion of antigen-specific immune cells. Despite remarkable clinical successes, most notably with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, ACT remains limited by severe toxic ...

Background: Alcohol use and problems increase during adolescence and peak in early adulthood. Tension reduction theory points to anxiety sensitivity as a risk factor for alcohol misuse, and the theory of planned behavior suggests that injunctive norms (i.e., perceived approval of risky drinking) may be central to this risk trajectory. Methods: This study ...

Cellular immunotherapy remains hindered in the context of solid tumors due to the immunosuppressive microenvironment, in which key endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAM) are suppressed. Microbubble-mediated focused ultrasound is being explored for targeted immunotherapy and can exert local shear stress upon neighboring endothelial cells. However, fluid ...

Crude oil remains a dominant global energy source but spills from pipelines, and reservoirs pose significant environmental and health risks. Remediating petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated soils is critical yet challenging, especially in fine-grained matrices where conventional methods underperform. In this context, electro-washing (EW), either in-si ...
