Article Synopsis
- Dysregulation of cytokines and their receptors can lead to serious health issues like cancer and autoimmune disorders, prompting the need for effective treatments.
- Researchers designed specific blockers for the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR), which plays a role in leukemia and inflammatory diseases.
- The engineered proteins were highly stable and effective at inhibiting G-CSFR in cancer cells, suggesting that this method could also be applied to develop treatments for other related cytokine receptors.
Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) leaks are a well-known complication in spinal surgery, caused mostly by incidental durotomy (ID). Management of ID is a matter of ongoing debate. Different treatment strategies have been described ranging from no specific treatment to intraoperative suture or even complex reconstructive procedures.
