Constitutive IL-7 signaling promotes CAR-NK cell survival in the solid tumor microenvironment but impairs tumor control by Robin Parihar, Cliona M Rooney, Matthew Dysthe, Ishwar Navin, Corrine Baumgartner, Dayenne van Leeuwen, Josue Pineda

“…However, current cytokine strategies have limitations, including systemic toxicities, exogenous dependencies, and unwanted TME bystander effects. Here, we aimed to overcome these limitations by modifying CAR-NK cells to express a constitutively active interleukin (IL)-7 receptor, termed C7R, capable of providing intrinsic CAR-NK cell activation that does not rely on or produce exogenous signals nor activate bystander cells.Methods We examined persistence, antitumor function, and transcriptional profiles of CAR-NK cells coexpressing C7R in a novel tumor immune microenvironment (TiME) co-culture system and against hematologic and solid tumor xenografts in vivo.Results Peripheral blood NK cells expressing a CAR directed against the solid tumor antigen GD2 and modified with C7R demonstrated enhanced tumor killing and persistence in vitro compared with CAR-NK cells without cytokine support and similar functions to CAR-NK cells supplemented with recombinant IL-15. …”

Ultrasound Assessment in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Diagnosis: From Origins to Future Perspectives—A Comprehensive Review by Stefano Di Michele, Anna Maria Fulghesu, Elena Pittui, Martina Cordella, Gilda Sicilia, Giuseppina Mandurino, Maurizio Nicola D’Alterio, Salvatore Giovanni Vitale, Stefano Angioni

“…<b>Results</b>: Conventional 2D ultrasound remains essential in clinical practice, with follicle number per ovary (FNPO) and ovarian volume (OV) functioning as primary diagnostic criteria. However, sensitivity and specificity values vary significantly depending on probe frequency, cut-off thresholds (≥12, ≥20, or ≥25 follicles), and patient characteristics (e.g., adolescence, obesity). …”

Non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control of robotic manipulator with prescribed performance by Xin Zhang, Ruikang Wang

“…The method performs the controller design by introducing performance functions with constraint effects, and, at the same time, transforms the trajectory tracking deviation using the hyperbolic tangent function, and a new error performance index function is designed accordingly to solve the dilemma that the prescribed performance control (PPC) depends on the first constrained value of the system; the error obtained from the transformation is then combined with the non-singular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) for controller design. …”
