Developing a personalized heterologous prime boost vaccination strategy for tumor therapy by Ramirez-Valdez, RA

“…The limited success of therapeutic cancer vaccines to date is likely due to sub-optimal generation of anti-tumor CD8 T cells and insufficient tumor microenvironment (TME) modulation. …”

Maternal postpartum six-week check and short-term health outcomes for women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy: an observational study using the Clinical Practice Research Da... by Ramakrishnan, R, Korb, D, Li, Y, Knight, M, Carson, C

“…The proportion of women who received a SWC check was highest in 2007 (66.8%) but subsequently decreased. Women were less likely to have a SWC record if they were younger, of a minoritised ethnicity, living in more deprived areas, were multiparous, had severe HDP, preterm birth, caesarean birth, or had a low birthweight baby. …”

Industrial policy refraction: how corporate strategy shapes development outcomes in Brazil by Zylberberg, E

“…</p> <p>I introduce the inductively derived concept of <em>industrial policy refraction</em>, proposing that foreign firms respond to host countries' industrial policies in ways that are consonant with their corporate strategies; that centralized firms are less likely to comply with a host government's demands than are decentralized firms. …”

Molecular and physiological consequences of prematurity and blood pressure elevation on the young adult left ventricular stress response by Huckstep, O

“…Collectively, these findings suggest preterm-born young adults have reduced myocardial functional reserve which likely contributes to risk of future disease including heart failure. …”

Early Neoarchean geodynamic regime in the North China Craton: constraints from 2.7 Ga granitoids in the southern Jilin terrane by Liu, J, Zhang, H, Palin, RM, Liu, Z, Zhang, J, Cheng, C, Liu, X, Zhao, C

“…Combined with previous studies, we suggest that the North China Craton underwent significant crustal growth during the early Neoarchean, which was likely attributed to the synergistic effects of waning mantle plume activity and the coeval onset of plate tectonics.…”

Belgrave's quest for moral order in Bahrain, 1926-1957 by Fakhro, E

“…It shows how colonial officials responsible for exercising authority over Bahrain viewed these trends with alarm, as likely to spur a broader process of social decline, and ultimately bring about challenges to Britain’s political legitimacy in Bahrain.…”

Building fabric improvement and heat pump deployment: a set of policy conundrums by Killip, G, Topouzi, M, Fawcett, T

“…Setting minimum quality standards for deployment, and a policy framework which allows for local decision-making within nationally (and internationally) determined targets is likely to be part of the answer. This paper sets out the challenge for policy in devolution and coordination, providing a set of unresolved conundrums that future policy needs to meet. …”

Perceptions of a Buruli ulcer controlled human infection model: How, who, and why? by Muhi, S, Schmidt, S, Marshall, JL, O’Brien, DP, Johnson, PDR, McCarthy, JS, Jamrozik, E, Osowicki, J, Stinear, TP

“…An M. ulcerans controlled human infection model (MuCHIM) is likely to accelerate our understanding of this otherwise neglected disease, and may be an efficient platform for testing vaccines and other interventions. …”

Controls on present-day and future rainfall over southern Africa in coupled climate models by Munday, C
