Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a zoonotic disease caused by the Mpox virus (MPXV), which has recently attracted global attention due to its potential for widespread outbreaks. Initially identified in 1958, MPXV primarily spreads to humans through contact with infected wild animals, particularly rodents. Historically confined to Africa, the virus has expanded beyond endemic regions, with notable outbreaks in Europe and North America in 2022, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM).

Purpose: Although chemotherapy is one of the standard treatments for gastric cancer, the disease's resistance mechanisms continue to limit the survival rates. (), an immune checkpoint belonging to the B7 family, is significantly overexpressed in gastric cancer. This work investigated the possibility of using suppression to improve the effectiveness of the widely used chemotherapy medication docetaxel.

Background: Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2S (CMT2S) typically present before age 10. Genetic factors account for up to 50 % of neuropathies, which often display varied symptoms. Mutations in the IGHMBP2 gene are associated with both CMT2S and SMARD1, resulting in a rare clinical condition marked by axonal neuropathy, spinal muscular atrophy, respiratory distress, and muscle weakness.
