Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Identification of Two Critical Contact Residues in a Pathogenic Epitope from Tetranectin for Monoclonal Antibody Binding and Preparation of Single-Chain Variable Fragments

Biomolecules
Sepsis is a fetal disease that requires a clear diagnostic biomarker for timely antibiotic treatment. Recent research has identified a pyroptosis-inducing epitope known as P5-5 in tetranectin (TN), a plasma protein produced by monocytes.

Rational Use of Herbal Products in Pediatric Patients Treated With Anticancer Drugs in the European Union

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of herbal medical preparation (HMP) is rising among pediatric oncology patients, often to manage treatment‐related symptoms. Their effectiveness remains uncertain, and the risk of herb–drug interactions is underestimated.

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Predicting T cell receptor functionality against mutant epitopes

Cell Genomics
Summary: Cancer cells and pathogens can evade T cell receptors (TCRs) via mutations in immunogenic epitopes. TCR cross-reactivity (i.e., recognition of multiple epitopes with sequence similarities) can counteract such escape but may cause severe side ...
