o‐Terphenyl‐Based Family of Conjugated Macrocycles: Selective Recognition of Phenylalanine in Water and Interaction With Insulin

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
This study presents the synthesis and binding properties of a new family of o‐terphenyl‐based macrocycles, TP[n] (n = 2‐8). The trimer variant efficiently binds phenylalanine in water with a 10‐fold selectivity compared to other amino acids and aromatic neurotransmitters.

Rationale, application and clinical qualification for NT-proBNP as a surrogate end point in pivotal clinical trials in patients with AL amyloidosis [PDF]

, 2016
Amyloid light-chain (LC) amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is a rare and fatal disease for which there are no approved therapies. In patients with AL amyloidosis, LC aggregates progressively accumulate in organs, resulting in organ failure that is ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced‐Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Systemic Sclerosis With Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective High‐intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced systemic sclerosis (SSc). The role of reduced‐intensity conditioning (RIC) before AHSCT in this population remains unclear.

Diagnosing Smoldering Multiple Myeloma and Light Chain Amyloidosis in the Setting of Severe Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy and Extracardiac Sarcoidosis

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis involves deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain-derived amyloid fibrils, whereas ATTR amyloidosis involves deposition of insoluble antiparallel beta-pleated protein within tissues, leading to organ-specific ...

Extensive amyloid deposits in bone marrow aspirate smears

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
Amyloid light‐chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. It can cause progressive organ dysfunction and eventually death, mainly due to cardiac involvement. Amyloidosis may rarely present as extensive amorphous, purplish‐blue

Skeletal Myopathy as the Initial Manifestation of Light Chain Multiple Myeloma

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
Monoclonal gammopathies due to plasma cell dyscrasias can cause various rare neuromuscular disorders. The peripheral nervous system is most commonly affected, while muscle diseases associated with monoclonal gammopathies are rare. Skeletal myopathy, as a

Differences in immunoglobulin light chain species found in urinary exosomes in light chain amyloidosis (Al). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Renal involvement is a frequent consequence of plasma cell dyscrasias. The most common entities are light chain amyloidosis, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease and myeloma cast nephropathy.

Cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein aggregates by cell surface heparan sulfate depends on aggregate conformation and cell type. [PDF]

, 2017
Amyloid aggregates found in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, are thought to spread to increasingly larger areas of the brain through a prion-like seeding mechanism.

A Multifaceted Interplay Among Hemophagocytosis, Interleukin‐18, and Type I Interferon Distinguishes Still Disease From Other Autoinflammatory Diseases

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The unknown pathophysiology and the lack of specific features for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult‐onset Still disease (collectively known as Still disease; SD) delay diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The goal of this study was to identify features and mechanisms that distinguish SD from other systemic autoinflammatory ...
