Theoretical approaches to improving the terminological apparatus of psychodiagnostic research in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine by V. I. Barko, V. V. Barko, O. O. Yevdokimova

“…It is proposed to understand individual (individual psychological) properties as generalised characteristics of temperament, character, abilities, orientation, i.e. stable mental phenomena which influence human activity, characterise a personality from the psychological and social aspects and are implemented in society. In addition, it is proposed to clearly distinguish between the concepts of “qualities”, “traits”, “features”, to introduce the terms “individual and personal properties and traits”, and to differentiate psychodiagnostic tools for the study of constitutional, individual and personal traits.…”

From ex vivo to in vivo chimeric antigen T cells manufacturing: new horizons for CAR T-cell based therapy by E. Pinto, L. Lione, M. Compagnone, M. Paccagnella, E. Salvatori, M. Greco, V. Frezza, E. Marra, L. Aurisicchio, G. Roscilli, A. Conforti

“…To date, several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of in vivo T cell reprogramming, by employing injectable viral- or nanocarrier-based delivery platforms in tumour animal models. Additionally, in vivo production of CAR-T cells might reduce the incidence, or at least the severity, of systemic toxicities frequently occurring with ex vivo produced CAR-T cells, such as cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. …”
