Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many other brain diseases/injuries exhibit sex differences in prevalence. onset. and outcomes. Some of these differences are attributed to the fact that the human brain is sexually dimorphic and there are certain regional and structural differences that exist between male and female brains. However. the effect of these sex variations in biomechanical responses of brain have not been elucidated. The paucity of sex-specific knowledge in brain biomechanics and TBI fields is mainly due to the fact that. these fields have predominantly focused on males.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn the most effective way to give patients a vaccine in order for the immune system to react against folate binding protein (FBP) and FBP-containing cancers. The E39 and J65 peptide (a piece of a protein) vaccines are designed to cause the immune system to attack certain cancer cells (those with FBP), which may help lower the risk that the cancer will come back.
