Vaccination in Multiple Myeloma: Challenges and Strategies

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 115, Issue 4, Page 334-343, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by profound immunosuppression resulting from both disease‐related mechanisms and treatment‐induced immune dysfunction. This compromised immune status markedly increases susceptibility to infections, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in MM patients.

Outer Membrane Vesicles as a Versatile Platform for Vaccine Development: Engineering Strategies, Applications and Challenges

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanosized vesicles naturally secreted by Gram‐negative bacteria and represent a promising platform for vaccine development. OMVs possess inherent immunostimulatory properties due to the presence of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), providing self‐adjuvanting capabilities and the ability to ...

Cranial ultrasound in neonatal brain infections

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 986-1003, August 2025.
Abstract Infection of the neonatal central nervous system (CNS) can cause irreversible brain damage. Cranial ultrasound is an important neuroimaging modality in the neonatal period for detecting brain injury. Several types of organism can cause neonatal CNS infection.
