Challenges and perspectives of CAR-T cell therapy in solid tumours: insights from gastric cancer

Challenges and perspectives of CAR-T cell therapy in solid tumours: insights from gastric cancer Summary CAR-T cell therapy, while effective in hematological malignancies, faces significant challenges in solid tumors like gastric cancer. These hurdles include limited T-cell infiltration, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) hindering CAR-T activity, and a lack of specific, safe target…

I hate when you’re too tired to move or read or play a game, but you’re not sleeping tired? so you just have to lie there staring at nothing until your body has enough energy to get up again

Where's the best place to get reusable face masks with vents/filters? I've been using disposables for a while, but I'd like to try out reusables to see if I like them more. I'd prefer to purchase from small businesses if possible, so if anyone has suggestions that would be fantastic!

Any tips for cooking for someone immunocompromised? I know to wash and cook everything thoroughly, but I don’t know how cooked non-raw meat things need to be.

I do not have the appropriate education answer this question, so here's a diet guide for Immunosuppressed Patients created by Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, distributed by University of Washington Medical Center.

Pangur has been pivotal to my sickness arc, because we are similar levels of old and tired. bed rotting feels nicer when I have my buddy with me

[crimeronan]

all right. despite my best efforts to get better on my own, i do now have to take prednisone. this is fine and will be good for me. i'm announcing it here because of my usual caveat: i'm gonna avoid tumbling much, but if i Do end up making word salad or clearly-psychotic posts: be patient with me and do not worry. my partners have me handled.

So I’m on a treatment that’s whole point is to knock my immune system down a few pegs, it’s literally chemo plus a biologic… but it has whump-y implications because… the slightest paper cut or split in the finger will always get infected… every single time.

It also slows down healing so while you’re waiting 2 weeks for that tiny paper cut to heal, surprise surprise, infection. Something stays open long enough, of course infection will take over. Infection is everywhere all the time.

I can imagine a tough whumpee who is used to soldiering on being just completely astonished and irritated at healing times let alone how inevitable infection is.

being put on an immuno-suppressant biologic for my HS and will need minor surgery later this year for it 🫡 i'm just glad there's something finally being done in a more permanent way cause all of the solutions so far have been temporary. it'll be nice if i don't have to deal with this constantly at least to this severity cause i've had this condition for over a decade now and it's quite literally a pain

I got pneumonia 😢 So I haven't had the energy/time for any art lately, therefore this years b-day piece is just gonna be a amelliana sketch (Cause I thought about them earlier and listened to their playlist)
