Long-term outcome of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease treated with immunoadsorption. [PDF]
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody disease may lead to acute crescentic glomerulonephritis with poor renal prognosis. Current therapy favours plasma exchange (PE) for removal of pathogenic antibodies.

Reprogramming glioblastoma multiforme cells into neurons by protein kinase inhibitors [PDF]
Background Reprogramming of cancers into normal-like tissues is an innovative strategy for cancer treatment. Recent reports demonstrate that defined factors can reprogram cancer cells into pluripotent stem cells. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most

The Evolving Role of CD8+CD28- Immunosenescent T Cells in Cancer Immunology [PDF]
Functional, tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes drive the adaptive immune response to cancer. Thus, induction of their activity is the ultimate aim of all immunotherapies.

Identification of non-canonical NF-κB signaling as a critical mediator of Smac mimetic-stimulated migration and invasion of glioblastoma cells [PDF]
As inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins can regulate additional signaling pathways beyond apoptosis, we investigated the effect of the second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac) mimetic BV6, which antagonizes IAP proteins, on non-apoptotic ...

The Immunobiological Agents for Treatment of Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease
Combination therapy with glucocorticoids, cyclophosphamide, and plasmapheresis is recommended as the standard treatment for anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, but the prognosis of this disease remains poor.

Retransplantation in Alport post-transplant anti-GBM disease [PDF]
Post transplant anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease affects up to 5% of patients with Alport's syndrome. Defects in the COL4A5 gene are responsible for most cases, and alpha 5(IV)NC1 is the usual target for alloantibodies. Gene deletions are more commonly associated with this complication than are point mutations.

The small molecule ephrin receptor inhibitor, GLPG1790, Reduces renewal capabilities of cancer stem cells, showing anti-tumour efficacy on preclinical glioblastoma models [PDF]
Therapies against glioblastoma (GBM) show a high percentage of failure associated with the survival of glioma stem cells (GSCs) that repopulate treated tumours.
