Dual effect of targeting LSD1 on the invasiveness and the mechanical response of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.

Biomed Pharmacother

January 2025

Department of Molecular Medicine, Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas Margarita Salas (CIB Margarita Salas-CSIC), Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

Epigenetic alterations are hallmarks of cancer, with histone modifiers playing critical roles in gene transcription, DNA homeostasis, and other nuclear functions. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), a key regulator of H3K4 methylation, has emerged as a promising pharmacological target in cancer treatment, including leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common pediatric cancer, remains a significant therapeutic challenge due to limited understanding of how epigenetic therapy impacts leukemia dissemination.

Identifying driver genes in cancer is a difficult task because of the heterogeneity of cancer as well as the complex interactions among genes. As sequencing data become more readily available, there is a growing need for detecting cancer driver genes based on statistical and mathematical modeling methods. Currently, plenty of driver gene identification algorithms have been published, but they fail to achieve consistent results.

Cutting through the noise: A narrative review of Alzheimer's disease plasma biomarkers for routine clinical use.

J Prev Alzheimers Dis

January 2025

Clinical Memory Research Unit, Clinical Sciences in Malmö, Lund University, Lund, Sweden; Memory Clinic, Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. Electronic address:

As novel, anti-amyloid therapies have become more widely available, access to timely and accurate diagnosis has become integral to ensuring optimal treatment of patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma biomarkers are a promising tool for identifying AD pathology; however, several technical and clinical factors need to be considered prior to their implementation in routine clinical use. Given the rapid pace of advancements in the field and the wide array of available biomarkers and tests, this review aims to summarize these considerations, evaluate available platforms, and discuss the steps needed to bring plasma biomarker testing to the clinic.

Revised definition of obesity in Asian Indians living in India.

Diabetes Metab Syndr

November 2024

National Diabetes Obesity and Cholesterol Foundation (N-DOC), New Delhi, India; Diabetes Foundation India, New Delhi, India.

Aim: The prevailing guidelines for obesity in Asian Indians, published in 2009, relied solely on body mass index (BMI) criteria. Recognizing the limitations of BMI in accurately diagnosing obesity and the emergence of new research revealing the association between generalized and abdominal adiposity in Asian Indians and early-onset co-morbid diseases, a comprehensive redefinition was needed.

Method: In a Delphi process focused on obesity in India, experts were invited via email to participate in five rounds.

Background: Bacterial pulmonary superinfections develop in a substantial proportion of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients and are associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation requirements and an increased mortality. Albeit recommended, evidence supporting the use of empirical antibiotics at intubation is weak and of low quality. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of empirical antibiotics, administered within 24hours of endotracheal intubation, on superinfections, duration of mechanical ventilation, and mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19.
