The gut microbiota influences development 1 , 2 – 3 and homeostasis 4 , 5 , 6 – 7 of the
mammalian immune system, and is associated with human inflammatory 8 and immune …

Background Platelet transfusion carries risk of transfusion‐transmitted infection (TTI). Pathogen
reduction of platelet components (PRPC) is designed to reduce TTI. Pulmonary adverse …

We have employed computer-based molecular modeling approaches to design peptides from
the ras-p21 and p53 proteins that either induce tumor cell reversion to the untransformed …

BACKGROUND At a high‐volume center, it became necessary to provide benchmarks for
the accuracy and risk of malignancy per urine cytology diagnostic category. The additive …

Background Lumbar puncture (LP) is a frequently performed diagnostic and therapeutic
procedure in oncology patients. Transfusing to a minimum preprocedural platelet threshold of 50 …

Goals We have developed the anti-cancer peptide, PNC-27, which is a membrane-active
peptide that binds to the HDM-2 protein expressed in the cancer cell membranes of solid tissue …

Patients treated with anti-neoplastic therapy often develop thrombocytopenia requiring
platelet transfusion which has potential to exacerbate pulmonary injury. This study tested the …

CD99(MIC2) is a widely expressed cell surface glycoprotein and functions as a tumor suppressor
involved in downregulation of SRC family of tyrosine kinase. CD99 expression is tightly …

The gut microbiota influences the development and homeostasis of the mammalian immune
system 1 – 3 , can alter immune cell compositions in mice 4 – 7 , and is associated with …

Anemia in hospitalized patients is common, with multiple potential contributing factors.
Evaluation of anemia in patients with cancer is particularly challenging given the potential …
