We have developed a model system that recapitulates nearly all elements of native human skin biology. Currently, the available systems to study biology are limited animal models or other incomplete in vitro culture systems. Animal suffer from well known differences between and organism biology, while fail incorporate critical such as stromal immune cells. Our newly contains skin, allowing for s...

Fungal brain abscess is a rare entity especially in an immune competent host. Here we report a rare case of Candida brain abscess in a 19 year old immune competent patient. The diagnosis was made by CT scan of brain and confirmed by microbiological culture. The patient did not respond to surgical intervention and antimicrobial therapy and succumbed to his illness.

Replication-competent (oncolytic) viruses (OV) as cancer immunotherapeutics have gained an increasing level of attention over the last few years while the clinical evidence of virus-mediated antitumor immune responses is still anecdotal. Multiple clinical studies are currently ongoing and more immunomonitoring results are expected within the next five years. All viruses can be recognized by the...
