Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Giant Cell Arteritis Refractory to Interleukin‐6 and Interleukin‐17 Inhibition Treated With Upadacitinib

ACR Open Rheumatology
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a granulomatous vasculitis that can involve both cranial and extracranial vessels. Although interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) receptor blockade is an established therapy, treatment options for medically refractory disease remain limited.

Long-term interleukin-6 levels and subsequent risk of coronary heart disease: Two new prospective studies and a systematic review [PDF]

, 2008
Background The relevance to coronary heart disease (CHD) of cytokines that govern inflammatory cascades, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), may be underestimated because such mediators are short acting and prone to fluctuations.

RNA‐related functions of BRCA2 in transcription, replication, and genome stability

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in homologous recombination, BRCA2 regulates R‐loop homeostasis, DNA–RNA hybrid resolution, RNA polymerase II dynamics, and transcriptional activation. Disruption of any of these functions can contribute to genome instability, inflammatory signaling, and tumorigenesis. BRCA2 is a central tumor suppressor protein best known for its roles

Serum interleukin 6 concentration in patients with pemphigus

Dermatology Reports
Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disease that detrimentally affects the integumentary system and decreases patients’ quality of life. Recent studies have shown that interleukin 6 (IL-6) is closedly involved in the immunophathogenesis of ...

Recombinant production of human interleukin 6 in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In this study, we compared basic expression approaches for the efficient expression of bioactive recombinant human interleukin-6 (IL6), as an example for a difficult-to-express protein. We tested these approaches in a laboratory scale in order to pioneer

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...
