Cancer in pregnancy: FIGO Best practice advice and narrative review
Abstract Cancer during pregnancy is relatively rare. The incidence is underestimated due to the lack of international registries covering both high‐income and low‐ and middle‐income countries, and is expected to rise with increasing maternal age and increasing global adoption of cell‐free DNA testing for aneuploidy.

Vaccination in Multiple Myeloma: Challenges and Strategies
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.

Summary Shift work can cause circadian misalignment, which often results in sleeping problems and has been associated with immune dysfunction. To better understand the impact of shift work on a primary immune response to vaccination, we compared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐specific humoral and cellular immune responses ...

Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]
Both Neisseria meningitidis and the closely related bacterium Neisseria lactamica colonise human nasopharyngeal mucosal surface, but only N. meningitidis invades the bloodstream to cause potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia.

Harnessing the therapeutic potential of bacterial extracellular vesicles via functional peptides
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are increasingly exploited as therapeutic agents or delivery vehicles for disease treatment due to their intrinsic structure, delivery capacity, immunogenic property, facile production, and versatile modification.
