Restoring dignity: community arts in leprosy control.

The evolution of health care is closely linked with the community arts. In Greek mythology, Asclepius, son of Apollo, is commonly referred to as the god of medicine and healing. The World Health Organization and most professional health organisations use, as the traditional symbol of healing and medicine, the staff of Asclepius, which is depicted as a single serpent encircling a staff.

Central role of tumor-associated CD8+ T effector/memory cells in restoring systemic antitumor immunity.

Sustained delivery of IL-12 and GM-CSF to tumors induces the activation of tumor-resident CD8(+) T effector/memory cells (Tem) followed by cytotoxic CD8(+) T effector cell expansion. To determine whether the secondary effectors expanded from tumor-associated Tem or were primed de novo, activation kinetics of tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) CD8(+) T cells were analyzed. Treatment promoted a 4-f...

Restoring Natural Killer Cell Immunity against Multiple Myeloma in the Era of New Drugs

Transformed plasma cells in multiple myeloma (MM) are susceptible to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated killing via engagement of tumor ligands for NK activating receptors or "missing-self" recognition. Similar to other cancers, MM targets may elude NK cell immunosurveillance by reprogramming tumor microenvironment and editing cell surface antigen repertoire. Along disease continuum, these effec...
