Séraphin (1747-1800) is considered the founder of shadow puppetry in France. This "facetious hunchback", well known to Parisians in the late 18th century, ran his own theater until his death in 1800 at the age of 53. His deformity seems to have left its mark on popular memory, and was an integral part of the "Théâtre Séraphin".

- Fatigue is a common and challenging symptom for patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and this systematic review aimed to evaluate how different treatments affect fatigue levels.
- The review analyzed 34 studies out of 1672 identified, finding that anti-TNF and anti-IL17 medications significantly reduced fatigue, while non-pharmacological treatments like physical activity also contributed positively.
- Overall, combining DMARDs with non-pharmacological approaches seemed to enhance the reduction in fatigue for axSpA patients, with some differences noted based on gender and type of axSpA.
One of the main causes of poor prognoses in patient with glioblastoma (GBM) is drug resistance to current standard treatment, which includes chemoradiation and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ). In addition, the concept of cancer stem cells provides new insights into therapy resistance and management also in GBM and glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs), which might contribute to therapy resistance. Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) stimulates astroglial differentiation of GSCs and thereby reduces their self-renewal capacity.
