Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has been approved to treat various tumors. While most adverse events (AEs) associated with T-DXd are manageable, interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis is a notable AE of special concern. This review describes the incidence, severity, and management of T-DXd-induced ILD/pneumonitis across different tumors.

Emerging evidence highlights the role of thyroid hormones in cancer, though findings are controversial. Research on thyroid-related traits in lung carcinogenesis is limited. Using UK Biobank data, we conducted bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causal links between lung cancer risk and thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism) or function traits (free thyroxine [FT4], normal-range TSH).

Background: Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) is a rare and highly aggressive subtype of cervical carcinomas with poor prognosis. NECC tends to occur in young age which could severely impair mental and physical health of young patients. Therefore, this study aims to develop an individualized prognostic nomogram for young NECC patients.

Activation of inflammasomes is the activation of inflammation‑related caspase mediated by the assembly signal of multi‑protein complex and the maturity of inflammatory factors, such as IL‑1β and IL‑18. Among them, the Nod‑like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is the most thoroughly studied type of inflammatory corpuscle at present, which is involved in the occurrence and development of numerous human diseases. Therefore, targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome has become the focus of drug development for related diseases.

Lin28 is a key regulator of cancer stem cell gene network that promotes therapy-resistant tumor progression in various tumors. However, no Lin28 inhibitor has been approved to treat cancer patients, urging exploration of novel compounds as candidates to be tested for clinical trials. In this contribution, we applied computer-aided drug design (CADD) in combination with quantitative biochemical and biological assays.

The quality issues of ultra-high-temperature (UHT) milk, such as protein hydrolysis and aging gels throughout shelf life, are caused by proteases from psychrophilic bacteria. However, existing enzyme activity detection techniques have low sensitivity and cannot accomplish the detection of product deterioration caused by low enzyme activity. In this study, an attempt was made to analyze the relationship between enzymatically cleaved peptides and product quality using peptidomics techniques.

Background: In recent years, the combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) has emerged as the standard first-line treatment for hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. However, the comparison between the efficacy of CDK4/6i has been poorly explored before. Moreover, it remains unclear about the optimal choice of CDK4/6i in the first-line treatment for HR+/HER2- MBC patients in Asian, especially Chinese populations.

Article Synopsis
  • HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) is a severe form of cancer, and inetetamab has been introduced as a targeted therapy to improve survival rates for metastatic cases.
  • This study used metabolomics and machine learning to identify potential biomarkers from plasma samples of treated BC patients, revealing 6889 unique metabolites and key pathways involved in treatment response.
  • Two metabolites, FAPy-adenine and 2-Pyrocatechuic acid, were highlighted as significant indicators for predicting the efficacy of inetetamab, which could enhance patient diagnostics and treatment strategies.

Astrocytes derive from different lineages and play a critical role in neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI). Whether selectively eliminating these main origins of astrocytes in lumbar enlargement could attenuate SCI-induced neuropathic pain remains unclear. Through transgenic mice injected with an adeno-associated virus vector and diphtheria toxin, astrocytes in lumbar enlargement were lineage traced, targeted, and selectively eliminated.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of different dosing regimens (weekly and every three weeks) of inetetamab in combination with vinorelbine in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ patients with metastatic breast cancer who had received one or more chemotherapy regimens.

Methods: HER2+ patients with metastatic breast cancer who had received one or more chemotherapy regimens were included. Eligible patients received inetetamab administered weekly or every three weeks in combination with vinorelbine injection chemotherapy.

Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have shown promising results in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) when combined with endocrine therapy (ET). It is crucial to evaluate the actual effectiveness and safety of CDK4/6i in clinical practice, as well as to analyze the factors that can predict their outcomes.

Methods: Patients with HR+ MBC who received CDK4/6i-based therapy between May 2016 and May 2023 at Hunan Cancer Hospital were evaluated for progression-free survival (PFS).

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are worried about a bacteria called Staphylococcus equorum that can resist many medicines because it has special genes.
  • They studied one specific sample of this bacteria that has two unique pieces of DNA called plasmids that help it resist medicine.
  • The findings show that these plasmids also have genes that help the bacteria survive against heavy metals, making it a bigger threat to health that needs to be monitored closely.

State representations considerably accelerate learning speed and improve data efficiency for deep reinforcement learning (DRL), especially for visual tasks. Task-relevant state representations could focus on features relevant to the task, filter out irrelevant elements, and thus further improve performance. However, task-relevant representations are typically obtained through model-based DRL methods, which involves the challenging task of learning a transition function.
