Safety and immunogenicity of an mRNA-1273 vaccine booster in adolescents.
Hum Vaccin Immunother
December 2025
Research and Development, Infectious Disease, Moderna, Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA.
Safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness of an mRNA-1273 50-μg booster were evaluated in adolescents (12-17 years), with and without pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants who had received the 2-dose mRNA-1273 100-µg primary series in the TeenCOVE trial (NCT04649151) were offered the mRNA-1273 50-μg booster. Primary objectives included safety and inference of effectiveness by establishing noninferiority of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses after the booster compared with the nAb post-primary series of mRNA-1273 among young adults in COVE (NCT04470427).

Center for Inherited Myology Research, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, United States of America.
Background: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystemic, CTG repeat expansion disorder characterized by a slow, progressive decline in skeletal muscle function. A biomarker correlating RNA mis-splicing, the core pathogenic disease mechanism, and muscle performance is crucial for assessing response to disease-modifying interventions. We evaluated the Myotonic Dystrophy Splice Index (SI), a composite RNA splicing biomarker incorporating 22 disease-specific events, as a potential biomarker of DM1 muscle weakness.

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Importance: Using albumin-adjusted calcium is commonly recommended for for measuring calcium, but with little empirical evidence to support the practice.
Objective: To assess the correlation between total calcium measurements (with or without adjustment) vs the ionized calcium level as a reference standard.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a population-based cross-sectional study in the province of Alberta, Canada, including adults tested for serum total calcium and ionized calcium simultaneously between January 1, 2013, and October 31, 2019.
Genomic Drivers of Coronary Artery Disease and Risk of Future Outcomes After Coronary Angiography.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Disease characteristics of genetically mediated coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography and the association of genomic risk with outcomes after coronary angiography are not well understood.
Objective: To assess the angiographic characteristics and risk of post-coronary angiography outcomes of patients with genomic drivers of CAD: familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), high polygenic risk score (PRS), and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).
Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective cohort study of 3518 Mass General Brigham Biobank participants with genomic information who underwent coronary angiography was conducted between July 18, 2000, and August 1, 2023.
The Landscape of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Inhibition in Retinal Diseases.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
John F. Hardesty, MD, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
Ever since the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist 2 decades ago, inhibitors of VEGF have revolutionized the treatment of a variety of ocular disorders involving pathologic neovascularization and retinal exudation. In this perspective, we evaluate the current status of anti-VEGF therapies and the real-world challenges encountered with maintaining therapeutic outcomes. Finally, we describe novel VEGF-based and combinatorial approaches that are in clinical development.
