The immune checkpoint inhibitor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) plays a critical role in regulation. Recent studies have demonstrated functional PD-1 expression peripheral sensory neurons, which contributes to neuronal excitability, pain, and opioid analgesia. Here we report function of the central nervous system (CNS), including spinal cord, thalamus, cerebral cortex. Notably, GABA-induced currents dorsal horn thalamic cortical neurons are suppressed by PD-1-neutralizing...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> NCI-designated cancer centers (NCI-CCs) throughout the U.S. are mandated to translate state-of-the-art research communities and enhance clinical care for patients within their catchment areas. In this era of targeted personalized care, though genetics has been incorporated into centers, it is unknown how these innovations being communicated public served. There particularly limited knowledge surrounding NCI-CCs may integrate patient reported experiences with...
Abstract Since the National Cancer Act established Centers Program in 1971, NCI-designated cancer centers (NCI-CCs) throughout country have been mandated to translate state-of-the-art research communities and enhance clinical care for patients within their catchment areas, including minority underrepresented populations. Precision oncology, which leverages genetics optimize personalized treatment plans patients, has promising potential address health disparities. In this era of targeted...
