Imatinib mesylate - uncovering a fast track to adaptive immunity
Article Abstract:
Some types of gastrointestinal stromal tumors refractory to the antiproliferative effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, Novartis), in vitro are shown to respond to the drug in vivo, with the response dependent on immune-cell function. A new type of cell in mice, which is called as the interferon-producing killer dendritic cell (IKDC), might account for the immune effect of imatinib mesylate and might act as a key link between innate and adaptive immunity.

An ideal situation that is slowly developing is a collaboration between architects and furniture designers towards creating living environments that feature both aesthetically pleasing and functional furnitures.
