Layer-by-Layer Nanoparticles for Cytokine Delivery by Pires, Ivan S.

“…When evaluated for its effectiveness in this highly aggressive model, two doses could significantly enhance survival compared to even five times (5x) the amount of free cytokine. Remarkably, while the model was non-responsive to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4, when combined with LbL-IL-12-NPs, we achieved complete responses with robust immune memory induction. …”

From Research to Search: Technologies and Techniques of Legal Research, 1880-1980 by Reiss Sorokin, Alex

“…It shows that at the same time as the system was likened to human dialogue, it offered a substantially different interaction with court cases, a process that altered the epistemic and social setting of legal research. Chapter five considers the reactions of OBAR’s early users as communication consoles were placed in law firms and libraries across Ohio in the 1970s. …”
