A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Adherence to Clotting Factor Prophylaxis in Adolescent and Adult Males With Haemophilia
ABSTRACT Introduction Clotting factor prophylaxis remains the most prescribed standard‐of‐care treatment for people with haemophilia (PwH). Prophylaxis prevents bleeds, joint damage, and improves quality of life (QoL). Its success depends on treatment adherence, consisting of socioeconomic, behavioural, and disease‐ or therapy‐related factors.

In this real‐world post‐ICI setting, cabozantinib demonstrated meaningful clinical activity even at reduced doses, with disease control achieved in nearly half of patients. Importantly, preserved liver function (Child–Pugh class A) was the only determinant of both disease control and overall survival.

The platelet count can be used to predict liver function at the time of evaluation of progressive disease (PD) after atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (ATZ/BEV) therapy in patients with u‐HCC. Treatment strategies in u‐HCC patients with low platelet counts should be conducted by taking into account deterioration of liver function after ATZ/BEV.

Retreatment of Direct Acting Agents (DAAs) After Initial DAA Failure in Hepatitis C Patients
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) and sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (SOF/LDV) are widely used as first‐line direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) regimens for chronic hepatitis C, achieving high virus eradication rates. However, a small proportion of patients experience treatment failure, and the optimal retreatment strategies for such ...
