Multiple-scale Computational Studies of Redox-controlled Supramolecular Co-assembly Nanoplatform: Toward Immunochemotherapy-driven Antitumor Augment
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockades provide an effective and safe therapeutic option in the field of refractory cancer therapy. However, not more than 30% response rate of most cancers seriously impedes their therapeutic efficacy. Previous investigations have proved the effectiveness of combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy for unsatisfactory response to anti-PD1

Cytokine storm syndrome in COVID-19 patients: Characteristics and Diagnosis
Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) is a critical condition induced by a cascade of cytokine activation, characterized by overwhelming systemic inflammation, hyperferritinaemia, haemodynamic instability and multiple organ failure. At the end of 2019, the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, and rapidly developed into a global pandemic. There is a dramatic increase of inflammatory cytokines in patients with COVID-19, suggesting the existence of cytokine storm in some critical illness patients. Here, we summarize the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation of CSS, and highlight the current understanding about the recognition and diagnosis of CSS in COVID-19.
