Complement‐Dominant Relapse of Mixed Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia After Rituximab Response
ABSTRACT Introduction Mixed autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) may show temporal shifts in its predominant effector mechanism. Methods We serially assessed clinical course, direct antiglobulin test (DAT) specificity, cold agglutinin activity, complement markers, marrow findings, and immunofixation after rituximab response. Results During winter relapse,

Engineered Bacterial Membranes as Next‐Generation Platforms for Cancer Immunotherapy
Engineered bacterial membrane platforms, including outer membrane vesicles, bacterial ghosts, genetically engineered membranes, and hybrid bacterial–tumor membranes, integrate tumor antigen presentation with intrinsic immune stimulation. These platforms promote dendritic‐cell activation, T‐cell priming, pyroptosis, and synergistic responses with ...
