Breaking barriers: the cGAS‐STING pathway as a novel frontier in cancer immunotherapy
Cancer Communications, EarlyView.Abstract Since its discovery, the cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator of the interferon gene (STING) signaling pathway has been considered a pivotal component of innate immunity and a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. Beyond its canonical role in pathogen defense, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the cGAS‐STING pathway ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.
