Infant Embryonal CNS Tumors: Molecular Insights and Treatment Considerations for Contemporary Pediatric Neuro‐Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

Incidence and Severity of Carboplatin‐Associated Hearing Loss in Children With Cancer Assessed by the SIOP Boston 2012 Ototoxicity Criteria

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1780-1790, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Neurobiological mechanisms of 40‐Hz stimulation in Alzheimer's disease: evidence, heterogeneity, and constraints

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Early disruption of gamma oscillations is increasingly recognized as a contributor to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD), positioning 40‐Hz stimulation as a promising neuromodulatory strategy. However, its neurophysiological and cognitive effects remain highly variable across studies, underscoring the need for ...
