Breaking into HIV-1's Epigenetic Vault: Cure Strategies to Eliminate the Viral Reservoir.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus that integrates into the host cell's DNA as a provirus. Transcription from the provirus is regulated in large part by cellular proteins and epigenetic factors. These may be repressive or permissive to productive infection. The host factors that regulate this balance are therefore attractive targets for HIV-1 therapeutics. Indeed, proviral chromatin is the focus of two of the current HIV-1 cure strategies. "Shock and Kill" uses latency reversal agents to open the provirus's chromatin, promoting high levels of gene expression that induc

Cellular zinc metabolism and zinc signaling: from biological functions to diseases and therapeutic targets.

Zinc metabolism at the cellular level is critical for many biological processes in the body. A key observation is the disruption of cellular homeostasis, often coinciding with disease progression. As an essential factor in maintaining cellular equilibrium, cellular zinc has been increasingly spotlighted in the context of disease development. Extensive research suggests zinc's involvement in promoting malignancy and invasion in cancer cells, despite its low tissue concentration. This has led to a growing body of literature investigating zinc's cellular metabolism, particularly the functions of

Clostridium butyricum alleviates multiple myeloma by remodeling the bone marrow microenvironment and inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway through the gut‒bone axis.

Emerging evidence reveals a strong connection between the gut microbiota and cancer. However, the exact role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood, and the therapeutic potential of microbiota-targeted interventions represents a promising strategy that demands urgent mechanistic and translational investigation. First, we conducted a comprehensive microbiome-metabolite analysis between MM patients and healthy individuals. The result revealed a marked compositional difference characterized by reduced abundances of butyrate-producing bacteria and diminished buty

Oral health in patients scheduled for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the Orastem study.

Despite advances in transplant medicine, prevalence of complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains high. The impact of pre-HSCT oral health factors on the incidence and severity of complications post-HSCT is poorly understood. The aim of this prospective, observational study was to analyze oral health in patients planned for HSCT. Patients ≥18 years requiring HSCT were included from five sites between 2011-2018. General health, oral findings and patient-reported symptoms were registered in 272 patients. Oral symptoms around disease onset were reported by 43 patie

How I treat cytopenias after CAR T-cell therapy.

Increasing use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) has unveiled diverse toxicities warranting specific recognition and management. Cytopenias occurring after CAR-T infusion invariably manifest early (90 days). Variable etiologies of these cytopenias, some of which remain incompletely understood, create clinical conundrums and uncertainties about optimal management strategies. These cytopenias may cause additional sequelae, decreased quality of life, and increased resource use. Early cytopenias are typically attributed to lymphodepletion chemotherapy, however, infections and hyp

Oxidative Stress: Signaling Pathways, Biological Functions, and Disease.

The dysregulated accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species disrupts redox homeostasis, triggering oxidative stress (OS) and driving pathophysiological changes across multiple organ systems. OS modulates critical signaling pathways, induces inflammation, impairs mitochondrial function, alters metabolic homeostasis, and dysregulates autophagy, contributing to disease progression. While prior research has largely focused on OS within single-organ diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and oncological disorders), the systemic role of OS in pan-organ di

Микроэкология и тренировка: целевое воздействие на ось микробиота-Гут-Брэйна для лечения заболеваний центральной нервной системы.

Кишечная микробиота (ГМ) может играть решающую роль в развитии и развитии заболеваний центральной нервной системы (ЦНС). Микроэкология и упражнение могут влиять на состав и функции ГМ, оказывая тем самым позитивное воздействие на НКЦ. Ожидается, что комбинированные физические упражнения и микроэкология позволят более комплексно и эффективно решать проблемы, связанные с заболеваниями CNS, через ось микробиота-гут-мозгов (MMBA), потенциально превысив результаты отдельных мероприятий. Однако в настоящее время по этой теме не проводится соответствующих обзоров. В этом обзоре мы изучаем взаимосвязь

Navigating Trichosporon Asahii Infections in Pediatric Leukemia: First Reported Case in Central and Eastern Europe Case Report and Literature Review.

Invasive fungal infections pose significant challenges in the management of immunocompromised patients, particularly those undergoing treatment for hematologic malignancies. Trichosporon asahii is a rare but severe cause of invasive trichosporonosis, associated with mortality rates. Effective management is complicated by its resistance to echinocandins and reduced susceptibility to polyenes, necessitating azole-based therapy. This paper aims to illustrate the diagnostic challenges associated with Trichosporon infections, analyze the complexities of treatment, review and synthesize known risk f

Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Lipids in Hematological Malignancies.

One of the main groups of lipids is phospholipids, which are mainly involved in forming cell membranes. Neoplastic processes such as cell replication have increased lipid synthesis, making tumor cells dependent on this synthesis to maintain their requirements. Antiphospholipid antibodies attack phospholipids in the cell membranes. Three main types of antiphospholipid antibodies are recognized: anti-β2 glycoprotein I (anti-β2GP-I), anticardiolipin (aCL), and lupus anticoagulant (LA). These types of antibodies have been proven to be present in hematological neoplasms, particularly in LH and NHL.

Lomitapide repurposing for treatment of malignancies: A promising direction.

The development of novel drugs from basic science to clinical practice requires several years, much effort, and cost. Drug repurposing can promote the utilization of clinical drugs in cancer therapy. Recent studies have shown the potential effects of lomitapide on treating malignancies, which is currently used for the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia. We systematically review possible functions and mechanisms of lomitapide as an anti-tumor compound, regarding the aspects of apoptosis, autophagy, and metabolism of tumor cells, to support repurposing lomitapide for the clinical treatme

Severe hyperammonemia from intense skeletal muscle activity: A rare case report and literature review.

RATIONALE: Adult hyperammonemia is most often the result of hepatic dysfunction. Hyperammonemia in the setting of normal hepatic function is a much less common phenomenon and has usually been associated with medications and certain disease states. Here, we present an unusual case of severe hyperammonemia caused physiologically by intense muscle activity in a patient lacking any evidence of liver disease. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 36-year-old woman was brought to the emergency department for a suicide attempt after being found covered in Lysol and Clorox germicidal bleach. She was noted to be in a s

Cyanobacterial Peptides in Anticancer Therapy: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms, Clinical Advances, and Biotechnological Innovation.

Cyanobacteria-derived peptides represent a promising class of anticancer agents due to their structural diversity and potent bioactivity. They exert cytotoxic effects through mechanisms including microtubule disruption, histone deacetylase inhibition, and apoptosis induction. Several peptides-most notably the dolastatin-derived auristatins-have achieved clinical success as cytotoxic payloads in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, challenges such as limited tumor selectivity, systemic toxicity, and production scalability remain barriers to broader application. Recent advances in targeted

Recognition and management of early complications in CAR-T cell therapy and virus-specific T-lymphocyte therapy: a practical clinical reference.

BACKGROUND: Cellular immunotherapies-including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies and adoptive transfer of virus-specific T lymphocytes (VSTs) - have transformed the treatment of refractory hematological malignancies and post-transplant infectious complications. Eight products are currently authorized by the European Medicines Agency, encompassing seven autologous CAR-T products targeting CD19 or BCMA and tabelecleucel (Ebvallo), the first approved allogeneic off-the-shelf EBV-specific T-cell product for EBV-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease. Despite their cl

Potential Novel Biomarkers in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease.

Prognostic, diagnostic or predictive biomarkers are urgently needed for assessment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), a major risk for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The main goal of this review generated within the COST Action EUROGRAFT "Integrated European Network on Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease" was to identify potential novel biomarkers for cGvHD besides the widely accepted molecular and cellular biomarkers. Thus, the focus was on cellular biomarkers, alloantibodies, glycomics, endothelial derived particles, extracellular vesicles, m
