Гейт-изменчивость и многоразовый склероз

Изменчивость гейта, т.е. колебания в движении во время ходьбы, является показателем ходьбы и связана с различными негативными последствиями, такими, как падение. В настоящем документе обсуждаются текущие исследования, касающиеся изменчивости походов у лиц с множественным склерозом (МС). Общеизвестно, что лица, имеющие НР, имеют бóльшую изменчивость по сравнению с возрастом и полом, совпадающую с контролем без НР. Причины увеличения изменчивости походов не вполне понятны. Имеющиеся данные свидетельствуют о том, что уровень инвалидности, использование ассистивных устройств, требования внимания и

Therapies and nanotherapies for cervical cancer (Review).

Cervical cancer (CC) is a major global health concern, ranking fourth worldwide in mortality, due to its high death rate and strong link to persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infections, which drive cancer progression through cellular dysregulation. Conventional therapies used in the treatment of CC have significant disadvantages, such as adverse side effects that affect the quality of life of patients. These side effects may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, fertility problems, damage to nearby organs and systemic toxicity. To address these challenges, there has been an inc

Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease.

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a population of evolutionarily conserved, unconventional innate-like T lymphocytes that are restricted by major histocompatibility complex Class I-related (MR1) molecules. They can be activated either in a T-cell receptor-MR1- or cytokine-dependent manner. Activated MAIT cells play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis and the fine regulation of the immune system. This review presents a systematic exploration of the development, biological characteristics, and multiple effects of MAIT cells in health and various diseases. In healthy individual

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy: a new emerging landscape in autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, an innovative immune cell therapy, has revolutionized the treatment landscape of haematological malignancies. The past 2 years has witnessed the successful application of CD19-targeting CAR constructs in refractory cases of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis and anti-synthetase syndrome. In comparison with existing B cell depletion therapies, targeting CD19 has demonstrated a more rapid and profound therapeutic effect, enabling drug-free remission with manageable adverse events. These promi

Latest Clinical Approaches in the Ocular Management of Cystinosis: A Review of Current Practice and Opinion from the Ophthalmology Cystinosis Forum.

Cystinosis, a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by intracellular cystine accumulation, occurs in an estimated 1/100,000-200,000 live births. Ocular non-nephropathic cystinosis is typically diagnosed during adulthood, when patients present with corneal crystal deposition and no systemic involvement. Due to the rarity of the condition, diagnosis is often delayed and can have a significant impact on the overall prognosis of the disease. Early diagnosis is therefore imperative to ensure successful treatment and improve quality of life, as most of its clinical manifestations can be prevented

Using an integrated omics approach to uncover the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating side effect with limited treatment options. The primary challenge in developing therapies is the lack of identified neurotoxic mechanisms. To address this, an integrated omics approach, combining transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, is essential to map the biological changes underlying the condition. Here, we show how data from these complementary approaches converge on key mechanisms involved in CIPN through a critical summary of animal and human studies. Current research highlights several key drivers of CIPN, such

Skeletal organoids.

The skeletal system, composed of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, serves as the foundation for maintaining human posture, mobility, and overall biomechanical functionality. However, with ageing, chronic overuse, and acute injuries, conditions such as osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, muscle atrophy, and ligament or tendon tears have become increasingly prevalent and pose serious clinical challenges. These disorders not only result in pain, functional loss, and a marked reduction in patients' quality of life but also impose substantial social and economic burdens.

RNA Therapeutics in Viral Infections and Cancer: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Prospects: A Review.

Background: RNA therapeutics represent a rapidly advancing field with significant potential for treating viral infections and cancer. This review examines the current landscape of RNA-based strategies, including siRNA, miRNA mimics, and antisense oligonucleotides. For viral infections, the focus is on hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), HIV, and SARS-CoV-2. Approaches include targeting viral transcripts directly (e.g., siRNAs against HBV surface antigen) or host factors critical for viral replication (e.g., anti-miR-122 miravirsen for HCV). The successful development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 i

Enhancing persistence while managing cytokine release syndrome to embrace next-generation CAR-T cell therapy.

BACKGROUND: CAR-T cell therapy represents a major breakthrough in hematological malignancies. However, the trade-off between insufficient treatment persistence and treatment-related toxicities (especially cytokine release syndrome, CRS) still limits its wider clinical application. MAIN BODY: Our review aims to reframe the understanding of this central dilemma. It posits that the dynamic imbalance of intracellular signaling networks and external inflammation in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are the causes of insufficient persistence of CAR-T cells and the severe CRS. The intracellular signa

Pulmonary origin and risk assessment of cancer-associated thrombosis.

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a serious complication frequently observed in patients with cancer; however, its exact mechanism is not yet fully understood. Recent research in 2025 suggests that the lungs play a significant role in providing prothrombotic factors. Both primary and metastatic lung tumors have the potential to induce a state of hypercoagulability through various pathways, such as the secretion of procoagulant molecules, such as tissue factor (TF), triggering local inflammatory responses, platelet activation, and alterations in the function of vascular endothelial cells. F

Quality ratings of reviews in overviews: a comparison of reviews with and without dual (co-)authorship.

BackgroundPrevious research shows that many authors of Cochrane overviews were also involved in some of the included systematic reviews (SRs). This type of dual (co-)authorship (DCA) may be a conflict of interest and a potential source of bias. Our objectives were to (1) additionally investigate DCA in non-Cochrane overviews; (2) investigate whether there is an association between DCA and quality assessments of SRs in Cochrane and non-Cochrane overviews.MethodsWe selected a sample of Cochrane (n = 20) and non-Cochrane (n = 78) overviews for analysis. We extracted data on the number of reviews
