DOSE-RESPONSE ANALYSIS IN THE JOINT ACTION OF TWO EFFECTORS. A NEW APPROACH TO SIMULATION, IDENTIFICATION AND MODELLING OF SOME BASIC INTERACTIONS.

Dose-response analysis in the joint action of two effectors. A new approach to simulation, identification and modelling of some basic interactions.

In systems with several effectors, the results of dose-response (DR) experiments are usually assessed by checking them against two hypotheses: independent action (IA) and concentration addition (CA).Both are useful simplifications, but do not represent the only possible responses, and avoid to a large extent the analysis of the interactions that ar

The hypoxia-driven crosstalk between tumor and tumor-associated macrophages: mechanisms and clinical treatment strategies

Abstract Given that hypoxia is a persistent physiological feature of many different solid tumors and a key driver for cancer malignancy, it is thought to be a major target in cancer treatment recently.Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which have a large impact on tumor develo

Racial Disparities in Service Use among Medicaid Beneficiaries after Mandatory Enrollment in Managed Care: A Difference-in-Differences Approach

Managed care may improve access to health care to previously underserved populations when providers need plan enrollees.However, capitation and utilization bml basic management often give providers the incentive to withhold care.Managed care organizations have yet to demonstrate that racial disparities in treatment are not exacerbated.Using Medicai
