Antibodies directed against the L1 cell adhesion protein inhibit growth of SKOV3ip human ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Responses of SKOV3ip cells in vitro to anti-L1 mAb chCE7 and Genistein were investigated. Genistein potentiated the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of chCE7 in SKOV3ip cells. A combination of mAb chCE7 and Genistein strongly reduced the sensitivity of p44/42 (Erk1,2) kinase, Src kinase and Akt kinase to extracellular stimulation with serum, Epidermal Growth Factor and Hepatocyte Growth Factor. The observed synergy of antibodies directed against L1 with Genistein could lead to a new therapeutic option for ovarian cancer.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) have gained prominence as synthetic receptors, combining simplicity of synthesis with robust molecular recognition akin to antibodies and enzymes. One of their main application areas is chemical sensing. However, direct integration of MIPs with nanostructured transducers, crucial for enhancing sensing capabilities and broadening MIPs sensing applications, remains limited.

Introduction: The large-scale approval of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) has raised concerns about their safety due to treatment-emergent amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).
Methods: We present two cases of patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment due to AD who were enrolled in the GRADUATE I clinical trial. They received subcutaneous gantenerumab every two weeks during the study period.
Follicular lymphoma (FL) outcomes are heavily influenced by host immune activity with immune anti-tumor activity mitigated by PD-1/PD-L1 pathway engagement. Combination CD20-directed therapy plus PD-1 inhibition (PD-1i) increases T-cell tumor killing and NK-cell antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC). Mounting evidence supports immune-priming using PD-1i before cancer-directed agents.

Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune bullous diseases mediated by autoantibodies most often of the immunoglobulin G class, subclasses immunoglobulin G1, and immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), directed against desmosomal adhesion proteins of keratinocytes. This study aimed to evaluate IgG4 immunoreactivity on paraffin sections using immunohistochemistry in patients with pemphigus as a diagnostic test. Fifty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens from patients with pemphigus were selected.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of early treatment and pathophysiology on eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis neuropathy (EGPA-N).
Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients with EGPA-N were diagnosed and treated within a day of admission and underwent clinical analysis. Peripheral nerve recovery rates were evaluated after early treatment by identifying the damaged peripheral nerve through detailed neurological findings.
