Prevention of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a major objective in the management of patients with lupus nephritis (LN). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) of variable severity is common in these patients, but recent literature has mostly focused on novel immunosuppressive treatments for acute LN, while the data on CKD is relatively limited. This scoping review aims to summarise available data on the prevalence and risk factors for CKD in patients with LN.

This approach allows scope for targeting "undruggable" proteins, and several PROTACs have reached the stage of clinical candidates. However, the roles of cellular transmembrane transporters in PROTAC uptake and efflux remain underexplored.

This scoping review aims to evaluate existing literature linking the role of light exposure in the development of the infant circadian rhythm. This scoping review is conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

- - Therapeutic DNA cancer vaccines stimulate immune responses but often fall short in effectiveness; researchers found that manganese-doped silica nanoparticles (MSNA) can enhance these vaccines' performance.
- - When combined with plasmid DNA encoding cancer antigens like α-fetoprotein, MSNA significantly increased specific immune responses in animal models, leading to better cancer immunity.
- - The study showed that MSNA not only improved T cell responses against cancer but also successfully prevented tumor growth in models for both liver and HPV-related cancers.
Introduction: Cancer pain management is frequently insufficient worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries where significant challenges related to workforce resources persist. Clinical pharmacists could potentially enhance outcomes in this context, yet their role remains largely unexplored.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating clinical pharmacists into the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to manage cancer pain and assess preliminary outcomes in cancer patients receiving pain treatment.
