Physicochemical Characterization and Asymmetric Catalytic Properties of New Biobased Organocatalytic Surfactants by Elliot Calbrix, Pascale de Caro, Sophie Thiebaud-Roux, Christine Cecutti, Emeline Vedrenne

“…This article describes the synthesis of new biobased organocatalytic surfactants soluble in water, composed of a hydrocarbon chain grafted onto an imidazolidinone moiety. The imidazolidinone moiety acts as catalyst, but also as the polar head of the surfactant, while the fatty chain constitutes the hydrophobic tail. …”

Oncolytic Virotherapy for Hematological Malignancies by Swarna Bais, Eric Bartee, Masmudur M. Rahman, Grant McFadden, Christopher R. Cogle

“…Because these past strategies lack specificity for malignant cells and often impair the normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, prior efforts to ex vivo purge autografts have resulted in prolonged cytopenias and graft failure. The ideal ex vivo purging agent would selectively target the contaminating cancer cells while spare normal stem and progenitor cells and would be applied quickly without toxicities to the recipient. …”

Strategies Affording Prevascularized Cell-Based Constructs for Myocardial Tissue Engineering by Claudio Muscari, Emanuele Giordano, Francesca Bonafè, Marco Govoni, Carlo Guarnieri

“…The production of a functional cardiac tissue to be transplanted in the injured area of the infarcted myocardium represents a challenge for regenerative medicine. Most cell-based grafts are unviable because of inadequate perfusion; therefore, prevascularization might be a suitable approach for myocardial tissue engineering. …”

Understanding and Prevention of “Therapy-” Induced Dyskinesias by Iciar Aviles-Olmos, Zinovia Kefalopoulou, Thomas Foltynie

“…However, the spectre of dyskinesia in the absence of L-dopa, the so-called “off-phase” or graft-induced dyskinesia (GID), remains a major obstacle particularly in the further development of cell therapy in PD, but it is also a concern for proponents of gene therapy approaches. …”
