Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treatment of sepsis in a subject comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of allogeneic Natural Killer cells to said subject, and to methods for predicting a subject's susceptibility to such method of treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to population of T cells with reduced expression of SIGLEC15, wherein the T cells are derived from sentinel lymph nodes in a subject having a cancer. The invention also relates to methods for obtaining such T cells, as well as to their use in therapy and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such T cells.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating a porous membrane are disclosed. The first method includes the following operations. A mesoporous silica thin film with perpendicular mesopore channels is grown on a polymer film. The mesoporous silica thin film and the polymer film are transferred onto a macroporous substrate, in which the polymer film is positioned between the macroporous substrate and the mesoporous silica thin film. The polymer film is removed to form the porous membrane. The second method includes the following operations. A polymer film is formed on a macroporous substrate, wherein the polymer film includes crosslinked polymers including cross-linked polystyrene, cross-linked polymethyl methacrylate, or a combination thereof. A mesoporous silica thin film with perpendicular mesopore channels is grown on the polymer film. The polymer film is removed to form the porous membrane.
