This study explores a novel therapeutic strategy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) Burkitt lymphoma (BL) by integrating autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) with tandem anti-CD19/CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. A 20-year-old Asian male with refractory BL, whose lymphoma had not responded to multiple chemoimmunotherapy regimens, received myeloablative ASCT followed three days later by infusion of a novel third-generation CAR T cells engineered with CD28 and CD3ζ signaling domains, along with a TLR2 costimulatory domain. This resulted in sustained complete remission at the 306-day follow-up, without experiencing any severe complications. This case suggests that combining myeloablative ASCT with tandem anti-CD19/CD22 CAR T cell therapy could be an effective approach for R/R BL, warranting further clinical validation.

Resistance to the currently available treatment paradigms is one of the main factors that contributes to poor outcomes in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Novel targeted therapy approaches might enhance the patient's treatment outcome and are urgently needed for this malignancy. While chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR)-based adoptive immunotherapy displays a promising treatment strategy for liquid cancers, their use against cervical cancer is largely unexplored.

Cenobamate is a novel third-generation antiepileptic drug used for the treatment of focal onset seizures and particularly for multi-drug-resistant epilepsy; it acts on multiple targets: GABA receptors (EC 42-194 µM) and persistent neuronal Na currents (IC 59 µM). Side effects include QT interval shortening with >20 ms, but not <300 ms. Our in vitro cardiac safety pharmacology study was performed via whole-cell patch-clamp on HEK293T cells with persistent/inducible expression of human cardiac ion channel isoforms hNav1.

Background: Mutations in the ABO gene, including base insertions, deletions, substitutions, and splicing errors, can result in blood group subgroups associated with the quantity and quality of blood group antigens. Here, we employed third-generation PacBio sequencing to uncover a novel allele arising from an intron splice site mutation, which altered the expected A phenotype to manifest as an Ael phenotype. The study aimed to characterize the molecular mechanism underlying this phenotypic switch.

A functional bioink with potential in bone tissue engineering must be subjected to critical investigation throughout its intended lifespan. The aim of this study was to develop alginate-gelatin-based (Alg-Gel) multicomponent bioinks systematically and to assess the short- and long-term exposure responses of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) printed within these bioinks with and without crosslinking. The first generation of bioinks was established by incorporating a range of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), to evaluate their effect on viscosity, printability and cell viability.

There is a synergistic relationship between epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID), and the approach to managing people with these conditions needs to be holistic. Epilepsy is the main co-morbidity associated with ID, and clinical presentation tends to be complex, associated with higher rates of treatment resistance, multi-morbidity and premature mortality. Despite this relationship, there is limited level 1 evidence to inform treatment choice for this vulnerable population.
