Sex Differences in Cancer and Cardiotoxicity: Mechanisms, Outcomes, and Clinical Implications Across Solid and Hematological Malignancies.

Sex differences influence cancer incidence, treatment response, and susceptibility to cardiovascular toxicity. Males exhibit higher rates and poorer outcomes in most non-sex-specific cancers, while females more frequently experience treatment-related adverse events, including cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction. Biological factors such as hormonal status, genetic polymorphisms, immune responses, and pharmacokinetics contribute to these disparities. In cardio-oncology, women-particularly premenopausal or with specific genotypes-may be at increased risk for cardiotoxicity after treatment

From Molecular Precision to Clinical Practice: A Comprehensive Review of Bispecific and Trispecific Antibodies in Hematologic Malignancies.

Multispecific antibodies have redefined the immunotherapeutic landscape in hematologic malignancies. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), which redirect cytotoxic T cells toward malignant targets via dual antigen engagement, are now established components of treatment for diseases such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and multiple myeloma (MM). Clinical trials of agents like blinatumomab, glofitamab, mosunetuzumab, and teclistamab have demonstrated deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated populations. Trispecific antibodi

Clinical Features and Treatment Progress of Invasive Mucormycosis in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.

The incidence rate of invasive mucormycosis (IM) in patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) is increasing year by year, ranging from 0.07% to 4.29%, and the mortality rate is mostly higher than 50%. With the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) also became a global health threat. Patients with high risk factors such as active HMs, relapsed/refractory leukemia, prolonged neutropenia may still develop breakthrough mucormycosis (BT-MCR) even under the prophylaxis of Mucorales-active antifungals, and such patients often have higher mortality. Rhizopus spp. is

Метаболомическое исследование синдромов миэлодипластика, множественной миеломы и гомозиговой β-Талассемии.

Хроническая анемия, как правило, диагностируется у пожилых людей и служит важным показателем как реактивных, так и клональных заболеваний. Многие основные заболевания, такие, как миэллодипластические синдромы и множественная миелома, более распространены среди пожилых людей, в то время как новые терапевтические подходы превратили педиатрические расстройства слабого прогноза, такие, как бета-талассемия, в хроническое заболевание пожилых людей. Таким образом, растущая распространенность хронической анемии в пожилом возрасте в значительной степени объясняется более частыми диагностическими и тера

Bispecific Antibodies in Hematological Malignancies: A Scoping Review.

Bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs) and bispecific antibodies (BiAbs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape of hematological malignancies. By directing T cells towards specific tumor antigens, BiTEs and BiAbs facilitate the T-cell-mediated lysis of neoplastic cells. The success of blinatumomab, a CD19xCD3 BiTE, in acute lymphoblastic leukemia spearheaded the expansive development of BiTEs/BiAbs in the context of hematological neoplasms. Nearly a decade later, numerous BiTEs/BiAbs targeting a range of tumor-associated antigens have transpired in the treatment of multiple myeloma, non-Hodgk

Targeting the CD47-TSP1 Axis in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Novel Immunotherapeutic Approach.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disorder characterized by progressive dilation and weakening of the abdominal aortic wall. Despite advances in surgical repair, rupture remains associated with mortality rates exceeding 65%, and no effective pharmacological therapy exists to prevent disease progression. Increasing evidence highlights chronic inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation, and immune dysregulation as central drivers of AAA pathogenesis. Among these mechanisms, the thrombospondin-1 (TSP1)-CD47 signaling axis has emerged as a critical upstream regulat

Obesity: pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions.

Over the past few decades, obesity has transitioned from a localized health concern to a pressing global public health crisis affecting over 650 million adults globally, as documented by WHO epidemiological surveys. As a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by pathological adipose tissue expansion, chronic inflammation, and neuroendocrine dysregulation that disrupts systemic homeostasis and impairs physiological functions, obesity is rarely an isolated condition; rather, it is frequently complicated by severe comorbidities that collectively elevate mortality risks. Despite advances in nutr

Immunological and Clinical Impact of Manipulated and Unmanipulated DLI after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation of AML Patients.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is the preferred curative treatment for several hematological malignancies. The efficacy of allo-SCT depends on the graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect. However, the prognosis of patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following allo-SCT is poor. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is utilized after allo-SCT in this setting to prevent relapse, to prolong progression free survival, to establish full donor chimerism and to restore the GvL effect in patients with hematological malignancies. Thus, there are different options for the administra
