The protein deacetylase HDAC6 has been controversially linked to cancer cell proliferation and viral propagation. We analyzed whether a pharmacological depletion of HDAC6 with a recent proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) kills tumor cells. We show that low micromolar doses of the cereblon-based PROTAC TH170, but not its inactive analog TH170E, induce proteasomal degradation of HDAC6.

Achieving safe influenza vaccination coverage among pregnant and breastfeeding women is a global health goal due to the potential risks of serious influenza for both mother and child. However, vaccine hesitancy remains a significant barrier to vaccination uptake. Since anxiety represents a determinant in vaccine decision-making, this study aimed to assess influenza vaccination hesitancy and anxiety levels in this population and to explore the association between women's characteristics, their reluctance, and anxiety levels.

Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare clinical presentation of refractory status epilepticus following a febrile infection. This study analyzes data from the NORSE/FIRES Family Registry, an international web-based registry available in six languages with data entered by patients, families, and clinicians to explore clinical presentations, survivorship, and long-term outcomes in adult and pediatric FIRES patients. We characterize and examine differences in demographics, prodromal symptoms, seizure frequency, anti-seizure medications (ASMs), quality of life, cognition, mood, and anxiety in adults vs pediatric populations with FIRES.

However, recombinant, solubilized tetrameric NA ectodomains are often challenging to express and isolate, hindering the study of anti-NA humoral responses. To address this obstacle, we established a panel of 22 non-adherent cell lines stably expressing native, historical N1, N2, N3, N9, and NB NAs anchored on the cell surface.

Description: The aim of this American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Update (CPU) is to provide best practice advice (BPA) statements for gastroenterologists and other health care providers who provide care to patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The focus is on IBD-specific screenings (excluding colorectal cancer screening, which is discussed separately) and vaccinations. We provide guidance to ensure that patients are up to date with the disease-specific cancer screenings, vaccinations, as well as advice for mental health and general wellbeing.
