Shifting AAV9 tropism by binding moiety insertion enhances transduction of tumor cell lines and human glioblastoma explants

Abstract Tumor-specific targeting remains a major obstacle for the development of precision cancer therapies. For several tumors and specifically glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis, more effective treatments are urgently needed. Recombinant adeno-as...

High-frequency visual stimulation can increase medial temporal lobe ripple oscillation density

Abstract Background Flickering visual stimulation can evoke neural oscillations, which can influence ongoing brain activity. Electrophysiological recordings of neural oscillations in the ripple band (80–180 Hz) show that these high-frequency oscillations occur in the neocortex an...

Ruling In and Ruling Out Sepsis Using Likelihood Ratios of a Host Response Assay

Overview: SeptiCyte RAPID is an FDA-cleared gene expression test that quantifies host immune response to aid in the diagnosis of sepsis. The test yields a score (the SeptiScore) ranging from 0–15, distributed across four bands (1–4) based on increased likelihood of sepsis. Each b...
