Transendothelial Movement of Liposomes In Vitro Mediated by Cancer Cells, Neutrophils or Histamine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A two-chamber culture system has been used to examine the ability of small liposomes to cross an endothelial cell barrier in response to various stimuli. Transendothelial transit of liposomes was almost negligible in the presence of intact, healthy endothelial cells (EC). Addition of histamine induced a concentration-dependent increase in the movement of liposomes across the EC monolayer. In the presence of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), migrating in response to a chemotactic gradient of N-Formil-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), both liposomes and IgG crossed EC monolayer by a paracellular pathway, largely independent of an association with the PMNs. The presence of cancer cell, growing in the lower chamber or the presence of cancer cell-conditioned media, also resulted in the passage of liposome across the EC. We conclude that EC monolayers are sufficiently disrupted by several physiologically relevant stimuli to allow for the transendothelial passage of liposomes. These results have important implications for the therapeutic use of liposome in the treatment of cancer or other inflammatory processes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
