Purpose: To perform a systematic review evaluating clinical outcomes in patients undergoing medial ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (MUCLR) with soft-tissue allograft.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The primary outcomes evaluated were patient-reported outcome scores, return to play (RTP) rates, incidence of postoperative complications, and rates of graft rupture or mechanical failure.

Clusters of differentiation () are cell surface biomarkers that denote key biological differences between cell types and disease state. CD-targeting therapeutic monoclonal antibodies () afford rich trans-disease repositioning opportunities. Within a compendium of systemic lupus erythematous () patients, we applied the Integrated machine learning pipeline for aberrant biomarker enrichment () to profile gene expression features affecting CD20, CD22 and CD30 gene aberrance.
