Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an enzyme crucial in epigenetic regulation and protein degradation, with implications in various cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. While HDAC6 is recognized as a promising therapeutic target for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, its involvement in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) remains underexplored. Currently, there are no direct methods available for characterizing HDAC6 in the brains of living subjects.

Microplastics (MPs) are known as substantial environmental and health threats because of their pervasive existence and potential function in human diseases. This study is the first research in which a comprehensive analysis of various impacts of MPs on cancer cells is performed through pharmacological and in silico approaches. Moreover, our results demonstrate that MPs have both promotive and suppressive impacts on cancer cells, changing some of the important features of these kinds of cells including cellular viability, migration, metastasis, and apoptosis.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) represents the second most frequent type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the most common indolent histology. The disease course of FL is heterogeneous, likely resulting from diverse molecular and immunological features that drive a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. While some patients with low-volume and asymptomatic disease are suitable for observation, patients with high tumor burden, advanced-stage, or symptomatic disease more often necessitate treatment initiation.

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PBVD (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD], bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) in the first-line treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Overall, 84 patients (53 had stage I-II and 31 had stage III-IV disease) received PBVD. The median PLD treatment duration was 16 weeks (interquartile range [IQR]: 8-24) for stage I-II and 24 weeks (IQR: 12-24) for stage III-IV.

Patients participating in clinical trials are highly selected and may not represent the general population. The pivotal study of teclistamab (MajesTEC-1), a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)xCD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated impressive response rates and progression free survival in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with acceptable toxicity. We performed a retrospective study of 58 patients treated as standard of care at four US academic centers to determine how these results translated to the real-world.
