Background And Objectives: Lineage-based classification has critical clinical implications in pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET). As the most prevalent subtype of multilineage PitNET, PitNET originating from both pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1 (Pit1) and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF1) lineages (Pit1/SF1-adenoma) is expected to exhibit rich and varied clinical behaviors. A comprehensive understanding of the clinical and pathological characteristics of Pit1/SF1-adenoma will provide mechanistic insight and influence the prognosis and treatment of PitNET.

Background: Additional immunotherapies are still warranted for non-responders to checkpoint inhibitors with refractory or relapsing cancers, especially for patients with "cold" tumours lacking significant immune infiltration at treatment onset. We developed XFab-α4-1BB/CD40L, a bispecific antibody targeting 4-1BB and CD40 for dendritic cell activation and priming of tumour-reactive T cells to inhibit tumours.

Methods: XFab-α4-1BB/CD40L was developed by engineering an anti-4-1BB Fab arm into a CD40L trimer based on XFab® platform.

Introduction: Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a disfiguring disease and is resistant to treatment. Several treatment methods are available, but the efficacy is limited. This prospective, rater-blinded, split-body comparative study investigated the efficacy and safety of long-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite laser in the treatment of KP.
