Article Synopsis
  • - Gout is a chronic condition caused by the immune system's reaction to monosodium urate crystals due to high uric acid levels, and recent research sheds light on its inflammatory mechanisms.
  • - A large genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 2.6 million people identified 377 genetic locations linked to gout, with a focus on 149 new loci related to urate and gout inflammation.
  • - The study also pinpointed candidate genes influencing the inflammatory response in gout, including those affecting NLRP3 inflammasome activity, and suggests a potential causal role of specific genetic factors in developing the disease.

Background: Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder in which accumulation of cystine and formation of crystals particularly impair kidney function and gradually lead to multi-organ dysfunction. Lifelong therapy with the aminothiol cysteamine can delay the development of kidney failure and the need for transplant. The purpose of our long-term study was to explore the effects of transitioning from immediate release (IR) to extended release (ER) formulation in Norwegian patients in routine clinical care.

Relapsed/refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a genetically complex and heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop therapeutic combinations to overcome drug resistance in AML. This open-label, multicenter, international, phase 1b study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of venetoclax in combination with alvocidib in patients with R/R AML.
