Targeting urological cancers with CAR-T cell therapy: current landscape and future directions.

BACKGROUND: Urological cancers, including renal, bladder, and prostate cancers, are among the most prevalent solid tumors. The success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in hematologic malignancies has spurred its exploration for treating urological cancers. MAIN BODY: In the past decade, preclinical studies have demonstrated promising antitumor activity of CAR-T cells against urological cancers. Meanwhile, multiple clinical trials are currently underway to evaluate their safety and efficacy. However, significant challenges impede the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy in urological

From toxicity to immunity: Evaluating CAR-T and conventional therapies in multiple myeloma through quality-adjusted life year (QALY) outcomes.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains characterized by recurrent relapse and cumulative treatment burden despite major therapeutic advances. This study compared conventional stepwise regimens with CAR-T cell therapy in terms of QoL, toxicity, cost, and ethical considerations within a model-based comparative framework. This comparative pharmacoeconomic modeling analysis was based on published clinical trial data. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were digitized to estimate mean overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) using area-under-the-curve integration. Treatment costs were calculated b

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

Drug repurposing in oncology: Compounds, pathways, phenotypes and computational approaches for colorectal cancer.

The strategy of using existing drugs originally developed for one disease to treat other indications has found success across medical fields. Such drug repurposing promises faster access of drugs to patients while reducing costs in the long and difficult process of drug development. However, the number of existing drugs and diseases, together with the heterogeneity of patients and diseases, notably including cancers, can make repurposing time consuming and inefficient. The key question we address is how to efficiently repurpose an existing drug to treat a given indication. As drug efficacy rem

Organelle-oriented nanomedicines in tumor therapy: Targeting, escaping, or collaborating?

Precise tumor therapy is essential for improving treatment specificity, enhancing efficacy, and minimizing side effects. Targeting organelles is a key strategy for achieving this goal and is a frontier research area attracting a considerable amount of attention. The concept of organelle targeting has a significant effect on the structural design of the nanodrugs employed. Most notably, the intricate interactions among different organelles in a tumor cell essentially create a unified system. Unfortunately, this aspect might have been somewhat overlooked when existing organelle-targeting nanodru

Harnessing the potential of CAR-T cell therapy: progress, challenges, and future directions in hematological and solid tumor treatments.

Traditional cancer treatments use nonspecific drugs and monoclonal antibodies to target tumor cells. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, however, leverages the immune system's T-cells to recognize and attack tumor cells. T-cells are isolated from patients and modified to target tumor-associated antigens. CAR-T therapy has achieved FDA approval for treating blood cancers like B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, large B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma by targeting CD-19 and B-cell maturation antigens. Bi-specific chimeric antigen receptors may contribute to mitigating tumor anti

Impact of COVID-19 on immunocompromised populations during the Omicron era: insights from the observational population-based INFORM study.

BackgroundImmunocompromised individuals are not optimally protected by COVID-19 vaccines and potentially require additional preventive interventions to mitigate the risk of severe COVID-19. We aimed to characterise and describe the risk of severe COVID-19 across immunocompromised groups as the pandemic began to transition to an endemic phase.MethodsCOVID-19-related hospitalisations, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and deaths (01/01/2022-31/12/2022) were compared among different groups of immunocompromised individuals vs the general population, using a retrospective cohort design and elec

Disease-Modifying Therapies for Multiple System Atrophy: Where Are We in 2022?

Multiple system atrophy is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. While numerous preclinical studies suggested efficacy of potentially disease modifying agents, none of those were proven to be effective in large-scale clinical trials. Three major strategies are currently pursued in preclinical and clinical studies attempting to slow down disease progression. These target α-synuclein, neuroinflammation, and restoration of neurotrophic support. This review provides a comprehensive overview on ongoing preclinical and clinical developments of disease modifying therapies. Furth

Evolving role of biomaterials in diagnostic and therapeutic radiation oncology.

Radiation therapy to treat cancer has evolved significantly since the discovery of x-rays. Yet, radiation therapy still has room for improvement in reducing side effects and improving control of cancer. Safer and more effective delivery of radiation has led us to novel techniques and use of biomaterials. Biomaterials in combination with radiation and chemotherapy have started to appear in pre-clinical explorations and clinical applications, with many more on the horizon. Biomaterials have revolutionized the field of diagnostic imaging, and now are being cultivated into the field of theranostic

Endoplasmic reticulum stress in disease pathogenesis: its implications for therapy.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key cellular mechanism that is important in the development of many diseases, including cancer. Since the discovery of the unfolded protein response (UPR), research has greatly improved our understanding of how ER stress affects cellular functions, especially protein folding and adaptation to stress. The UPR consists of three main branches: IRE1, ATF6, and PERK, each of which is crucial for regulating stress responses, protein homeostasis, and apoptosis. These pathways normally help cells handle stress effectively; however, excessive or prolonged activati

Молекулярная динамическая симуляция диких и мутантных протеиновых субъектов бета-белка типа 8 (PSMB8): Последствия для восстановления воспаления в экспериментальном аутоиммунном энцефаломиэлите патогенез.

Circadian rhythm-guided cellular therapy in hematologic malignancies: mechanisms, clinical evidence, and optimization strategies.

Circadian rhythms are endogenous 24-hour timing systems that coordinate hematopoiesis and immune function through central and peripheral clocks. Increasing evidence indicates that the initiation and progression of hematologic malignancies are frequently accompanied by circadian disruption, which not only contributes to malignant transformation and disease progression but also anti-tumor immunity and variable treatment responses. Cellular therapies, particularly hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), have emerged as transformative mo

Role of circular RNAs in cancer therapy resistance.

Over the past decade, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have gained recognition as a novel class of genetic molecules, many of which are implicated in cancer pathogenesis via different mechanisms, including drug resistance, immune escape, and radio-resistance. ExosomalcircRNAs, in particular, facilitatecommunication between tumour cells and micro-environmental cells, including immune cells, fibroblasts, and other components. Notably, micro-environmental cells can reportedly influence tumour progression and treatment resistance by releasing exosomalcircRNAs. circRNAs often exhibit tissue- and cancer-spe

Cancer stem cells in personalized therapy: mechanisms, microenvironment crosstalk, and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive tumor progression, therapy resistance, and metastasis through unique membrane biology, glycosylation patterns, and metabolic adaptations. CSCs exhibit a distinct glycocalyx profile enriched in hyaluronan, heparan sulfate, and sialylated glycans, facilitating immune evasion, adhesion, and survival. Key signaling pathways-Wnt/β-catenin, Hedgehog, Notch, JAK/STAT, TGF/SMAD, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR-regulate CSC stemness and therapeutic resistance. Emerging biomarkers (CD44, CD133, ALDH1, EpCAM) and targeted therapies (CAR-T cells, miRNA modulation, lipid metabolism inhibit

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus: From B cell depletion to immune reprogramming.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease in which current immunosuppressive and biologic therapies often fail to achieve durable remission in refractory patients. The emergence of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has introduced a fundamentally new therapeutic concept, shifting therapeutic strategies from transient immune suppression toward the possibility of durable immune reprogramming. Recent studies suggest that the benefit of CAR-T therapy extends beyond depletion of autoreactive B cells. By depleting disease-associated immune cell populations and
