Adjunct immunotherapies for tuberculosis.

The continued spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis poses a major threat to global tuberculosis control. Treatment is complex and requires longer use of more-expensive, less effective, and toxic anti-tuberculosis drugs, which results in high morbidity and mortality. The poor treatment outcomes and the slow progress in the development and ev...

Procedure for fabricating biofunctional nanofibers.

Electrospinning is an effective processing method for preparing nanofibers decorated with functional groups. Nanofibers decorated with functional groups may be utilized to study material-biomarker interactions i.e. act as biosensors with potential as single molecule detectors. We have developed an effective approach for preparing functional polymers where the functionality has the capacity of s...

New anticancer immunotherapies.

The quest for immunotherapies against cancer has been ongoing for many years, and a greater understanding of the normal mechanisms involved in developing immune responses has now led to clinically effective therapies. With the licensing of Ipilimumab and Sipuleucel-T, immunotherapeutic strategies are taking their place alongside conventional treatments for cancer. This review will consider the ...
