Finding a needle in a haystack: functional screening for novel targets in cancer immunology and immunotherapies.

Oncogene

January 2025

R. China.

Genome-wide functional genetic screening has been widely used in the biomedicine field, which makes it possible to find a needle in a haystack at the genetic level. In cancer research, gene mutations are closely related to tumor development, metastasis, and recurrence, and the use of state-of-the-art powerful screening technologies, such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR), to search for the most critical genes or coding products provides us with a new possibility to further refine the cancer mapping and provide new possibilities for the treatment of cancer patients. The use of CRISPR screening for the most critical genes or coding products has further refined the cancer atlas and provided new possibilities for the treatment of cancer patients.

Development of a Patient Reported Outcome Measure of Side Effects for Patients Taking Calcineurin Inhibitors: The FACIT-CNI-Ntx.

Am J Kidney Dis

January 2025

Department of Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, USA; Northwestern University Transplant Outcomes Research Collaborative, Comprehensive Transplant Center, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA; Centre for Patient Reported Outcomes Research, Department of Applied Health Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK.

Rationale & Objective: Valid measures of side effects are important to inform clinical use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs). This study sought to develop and establish the content validity of a PRO measure to capture side effects among kidney transplant recipients taking CNIs.

Study Design: Qualitative interviews for concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing.

The blood-brain barrier is a physiological barrier that can prevent both small and complex drugs from reaching the brain to exert a pharmacological effect. For treatment of neurological diseases, drug concentrations at the target site are a fundamental parameter for therapeutic effect; thus, the blood-brain barrier is a major obstacle to overcome. Novel strategies have been developed to circumvent the blood-brain barrier, including CSF delivery, intracranial delivery, ultrasound-based methods, membrane transporters, receptor-mediated transcytosis, and nanotherapeutics.

Anterior Shoulder Instability (ASI) is a common orthopedic condition often resulting in altered shoulder kinematics. Understanding the biomechanics of the unstable shoulder is critical to determine the most appropriate treatment. This study aims to conduct the first systematic review and meta-analysis of three-dimensional (3D) shoulder kinematic studies in ASI patients.

Animal models of kabuki syndrome and their applicability to novel drug discovery.

Expert Opin Drug Discov

January 2025

Division of Genetics and Genomics, Department of Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

Introduction: Kabuki Syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, and multiple congenital anomalies. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the and genes. Despite its significant disease burden, there are currently no approved therapies for KS, highlighting the need for advanced research and therapeutic development.
