A fluorescent biosensor-based platform for the discovery of immunogenic cancer cell death inducers
Systemic anticancer immunity can be reinstated via the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) in malignant cells.Thus, certain classes of cytotoxic compounds, for example, anthracyclines, oxaliplatin and taxanes are endowed with the capacity to act on cancer cells to ignite premortem stress pathways that lead to the surface exposure of calreticu
Spatio-Temporal Areal Unit Modeling in R with Conditional Autoregressive Priors Using the CARBayesST Package
Spatial data relating to non-overlapping areal units are prevalent in fields such as economics, environmental science, epidemiology and social science, and a large suite of modeling tools have been developed for analysing these data.Many utilize conditional autoregressive (CAR) priors to capture the spatial autocorrelation inherent in these data, a
