Circulating angiogenesis‐related biomarkers in sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy
Summary Sickle cell disease (SCD), encompassing genotypes such as HbSS and HbSC, leads to retinal complications such as sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) and maculopathy (SCM) through poorly understood mechanisms. This study explored associations of a panel of circulating angiogenesis‐related factors with SCR and SCM.

The use of different types of networks, alone and in combination, for drug target identification
Current therapeutic approaches often focus on targeting clinical symptoms or peripheral phenotypes rather than the underlying molecular mechanisms, or endophenotypes, that drive diseases. While symptom‐based drugs can alleviate discomfort, they do not necessarily alter disease progression and may overlook opportunities for prevention or early ...

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Sutimlimab in Patients With Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD): Results From a Managed Access Program
ABSTRACT Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a low‐grade lymphoproliferative disorder accounting for 15%–30% of patients suffering from autoimmune hemolytic anemias. The clonal B cells produce autoantibodies primarily of the IgM‐κ class that cause agglutination of red blood cells (RBCs) at temperatures ≤ 37°C and activate the classical complement pathway ...
