Exploring mobility data for enhancing HIV care engagement in Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx individuals: a longitudinal observational study protocol by Katherine P Theall, Lisa Hightow-Weidman, Xiaoming Li, Sean Young, Lidia Flores, Seungjun Kim, Maryam Hassani, Cristina De Haro, Mohamed Emish, Zeyad Kelani, Dominic Arjuna Ugarte, Amanda Castel

“…Mobility data that measure individuals’ movements over time in combination with sociostructural data (eg, crime, census) can potentially identify barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement and can enhance public health surveillance and inform interventions.Methods and analysis The proposed work is a longitudinal observational cohort study aiming to enrol 400 Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx individuals living with HIV in areas of the USA with high prevalence rates of HIV. Each participant will be asked to share at least 14 consecutive days of mobility data per month through the study app for 1 year and complete surveys at five time points (baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). …”

Ultrasound-activated miR-195-5p/shikonin nanobubbles remodel immunosuppressive microenvironment via immunogenic cell death to potentiate PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in hepatocellular carci... by Yandi Tan, Qiao Xu, Yezi Chen, Yun Liu, Chaoqi Liu, Xinwu Cui, Yun Zhao

“…Despite the transformative clinical impact of programmed cell death ligand 1/programmed death 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blockade in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME), with objective response rates persistently below 20 %. To address this critical clinical challenge, we engineered ultrasound (US)-responsive lipid nanobubbles (NBs) co-encapsulating microRNA (miR)-195-5p and shikonin (SK) (designated miR-195-5p/SK-NBs), a dual-functional platform designed to synergize PD-L1 suppression with immunogenic cell death (ICD). …”
