A method and device treats cancer where blood from a cancer patient passes through an array of passageways within an interior of a chamber. The passageways include wells having porous membrane wall portions that enable a molecular-sized activating agent in a carrier fluid that enhances an immune response to pass through these porous wall portions. Pore size is such to allow the molecular-sized activating agent in the interior of the chamber to enter the wells yet prevents immune cells and cancer cells in the wells to pass through the porous wall portions into the interior of the chamber. Blood is retained in the wells so that it remains in contact with the immune cells and cancer cells for a predetermined period sufficient to enhance an immune response. Then the cells with an enhanced immune response are return to the patient.

Systems, methods, and/or apparatuses may be operative to perform a dialysis process that includes a displacer infusion process. The dialysis machine may include at least one processor and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the at least one processor to access dialysis information for a dialysis process performed by a dialysis machine, the dialysis information indicating a target substance to be displaced from a binding compound by a displacer, and determine an infusion profile for infusing the displacer into a patient during a displacer infusion process of the dialysis process, the infusion profile determined based on the dialysis information and an infusion constraint. Other embodiments are described.

An embodiment provides a method for treating a body fluid of a patient, including: removing the body fluid from a patient; applying a treatment to the body fluid, wherein the treatment comprises an antibody that joins with an aging process targeted antigen (TA) in the body fluid to form an antibody-TA complex, wherein the antibody comprises a tag sensitive to an illumination; removing the antibody-antigen complex from the body fluid; and returning the body fluid to the patient. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Process and system for acellular therapy in a human subject are provided. The process and system relate to an acellular therapy using therapeutic extracellular vehicles fused to biological material obtained from the subject, via transfusion by extracorporeal systems. The process for acellular therapy is in a subject in need of such therapy.

A method and a system for producing a change in a medium. The method places in a vicinity of the medium an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The energy modulation agent has a normal predominant emission of radiation in a first wavelength range outside of a second wavelength range (WR2) known to produce the change, but under exposure to the applied initiation energy produces the change. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the energy modulation agent.

The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, more particularly the field of devices for extracting circulating molecules from the blood of a mammal, and their therapeutic uses, in particular in treating sepsis, cytokine release syndrome and/or any other form of systemic inflammatory response or cytokine shock, caused by bacterial, parasitic, fungal or viral infections, in particular caused by a viral infection, for example coronaviruses with human respiratory tract tropism.
