Abstract: The X-ray imager combines a pulsed X-ray source with a time-sensitive X-ray detector to provide a measure of ballistic photons with a reduction of scattered photons. The imager can provide a comparable contrast-to-noise X-ray image using significantly less radiation exposure than conventional X-ray imagers, notably about half of the radiation.

Abstract: Targeting immune checkpoints, such as Programmed cell Death 1 (PD1), has improved survival in cancer patients by unleashing exhausted CD8+ T-cell thereby restoring anti-tumor immune responses. Most patients, however, relapse or are refractory to immune checkpoint blocking therapies. Here, the inventors show that NRP1 is recruited in the cytolytic synapse of PD1+CD8+ T-cells, interacts and enhances PD-1 activity. In mice, CD8+ T-cell specific deletion of Nrp1 improves spontaneous and anti PD1 antibody anti-tumor immune responses. Likewise, in human metastatic melanoma, the expression of NRP1 in tumor infiltrating CD8+ T-cells QI predicts poor outcome of patients treated with anti-PD1 (e.g. pembrolizumab). Finally, the combination of anti-NRP1 and anti-PD1 antibodies is synergistic in human, specifically in CD8+ T-cells anti-tumor response. Thus the therapeutic inhibition of NRP1 alone or combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g.

Abstract: The invention relates to the combined use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and hematopoietic growth factors as a drug and particularly for treating cytopenia related to hematopoietic diseases or chemotherapy, and also to a pharmaceutical kit comprising both SSRIs and hematopoietic growth factors. This combination is more particularly used for treating patients presenting cytopenia, and patients in need of chemotherapy and more particularly to reduce length of chemotherapy-induced aplasia.
