There is no established treatment for late or chronic antibody-mediated rejection of a kidney graft. Rituximab-based treatment is not effective, since long-lived high-affinity plasma cells do not express CD20 and do not depend on previous maturation steps to generate donor-specific antibodies. Conversely, daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, directly targets plasma cells, with proven efficacy in multiple myeloma.

Human adipose-derived multipotent stromal cells enriched with IL-10 modRNA improve diabetic wound healing: Trigger the macrophage phenotype shift.

Bioeng Transl Med

Institute of Pediatric Translational Medicine, Shanghai Institute of Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, School of Medicine Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China.

Diabetic wounds present a significant challenge in regenerative medicine due to impaired healing, characterized by prolonged inflammation and deficient tissue repair, primarily caused by a skewed pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of interleukin-10 (IL-10) chemically modified mRNA (modRNA)-enriched human adipose-derived multipotent stromal cells (hADSCs) in a well-established murine model of diabetic wounds. The modRNAs used in this study were chemically modified using N1-methylpseudouridine-5'-triphosphate (m1Ψ) by substituting uridine-5-triphosphate.

Cardiovascular Disease With Hormone Therapy and Ovarian Suppression in Premenopausal Breast Cancer Survivors.

JACC CardioOncol

December 2024

Division of Epidemiology and Community Health, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Background: Hormone therapies, including aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen, are used with ovarian suppression to improve outcomes in premenopausal patients with breast cancer. Cardiovascular impacts of these treatments among premenopausal women are unknown.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the use of aromatase inhibitors in combination with ovarian suppression, relative to tamoxifen, is associated with greater incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in premenopausal breast cancer survivors.

Overweight, obesity, and cardiovascular disease in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia: the EAS FH Studies Collaboration registry.

Eur Heart J

January 2025

Department of Primary Care and Public Health, Imperial Centre for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, School of Public Health, Imperial College London, White City Campus, 90 Wood Lane, London W12 0BZ, UK.

Background And Aims: Overweight and obesity are modifiable risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in the general population, but their prevalence in individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HeFH) and whether they confer additional risk of ASCVD independent of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) remains unclear.

Methods: Cross-sectional analysis was conducted in 35 540 patients with HeFH across 50 countries, in the EAS FH Studies Collaboration registry. Prevalence of World Health Organization-defined body mass index categories was investigated in adults (n = 29 265) and children/adolescents (n = 6275); and their association with prevalent ASCVD.
