,
August 2018 in “Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology” This study found that dengue virus infection caused inflammation and cell death in human hair-follicle dermal papilla cells, which may contribute to increased hair shedding observed during the epidemic in Taiwan.
January 2022 in “SSRN Electronic Journal” In this case study, a neoadjuvant therapy combining gemcitabine and Disitamab Vedotin proved effective and safe for a muscle-invasive bladder cancer patient with severe renal insufficiency, who could not tolerate platinum-based treatments. The study suggests this regimen may be a viable alternative, pending further research.
