BCMA-directed CAR T-cell Therapy in patients with multiple myeloma and CNS involvement.

We investigated BCMA-directed CART in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and CNS involvement. Ten patients who received either ide-cel (n=6) or cilta-cel (n=4) were included in this analysis. Patients had brain/cranial nerve and/or spinal cord involvement/leptomeningeal disease evident on either MRI (100%) and/or CSF (40%).

Outcome of Patients With Central Nervous System Multiple Myeloma (CNS-MM) Treated With CNS-Directed Radiation Therapy.

Background: The prognosis of multiple myeloma involving the central nervous system (CNS-MM) is poor. We report outcomes of CNS-MM treated with CNS-directed radiation therapy (RT).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with CNS-MM treated with CNS-directed RT from 2015 to 2024.

A novel combination therapy using Dapagliflozin and Cycas media extract in experimentally induced diabetic wounds by targeting novel pathways in wound healing.

Diabetes mellitus, a globally prevalent condition, often complicates wound healing, leading to chronic, non-healing wounds. This study explores a novel combination therapy using Dapagliflozin and Cycas media extract for treating experimentally induced diabetic wounds in rats. By targeting the Notch signaling pathway, a critical pathway in wound healing, this research investigates the efficacy of this combination therapy in accelerating wound repair.

sGC stimulator (BAY 41-8543) combined with PDE9 inhibitor (BAY 73-6691) reduces renal fibrosis in 5/6 nephrectomized rats.

Renal fibrosis is closely related to the prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The increase in cGMP reduces renal fibrosis. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and phosphodiesterase (PDE) are key enzymes that maintain cGMP levels.
