medical illustration of Viral infections remain a major complication after HSCT. Patient shown receiving an IV treatment of single valent VST with antigen-specific T cells. T cells activated by exposure to adenovirus (shown ghosted over image).
medical illustration of Mid-saggittal section through lumbar spine showing deletorious effects of multiple myeloma. Patient shown presenting with back pain.
medical illustration of Interpretation of Hemoglobin S polymerization. A genetic mutation causes the production of hemoglobin S (Hb S). When deoxygenated, Hb S has the ability to polymerize into rigid rods which reshape the erythrocyte. The sickle shaped erythrocyte is much less flexible, which leads to hemolysis, increased viscosity and acute vaso-occlusive episodes.
medical illustration of Glasdegib is a Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor used to treat chemotherapy resistant AML (acute myeloid leukemia). Glasdegib molecule attaches to the Smoothened transmembrane protein and inactivates the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Glasdegib sensitives cells and reduces chemotherapy resistance.

medical illustration of Midsagittal view of the brain showing a close up of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls the circadian rhythms that guide the body’s natural sleeping and waking cycles. Highlighted are the suprachiasmatic nucleus (in yellow) which sets basic circadian rhythms, the pre optic are (in lavender) which controls slow wake sleep, and the posterior hypothalamic nucleus (in blue) which promotes wakefulness. Overlaying ECG patterns show a waking state, deep sleep and REM sleep.
