Refractory Status Epilepticus and Therapeutic Uncertainties: a Comprehensive Review on Targeting Neuroinflammation and Rationale for Developing a Platform Trial

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a life‐threatening neurological emergency with high rates of death and long‐term disability, but treatments for it are often based on limited evidence. RSE is now understood to involve neuroinflammation, which has led to the exploration of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents like Tocilizumab. Traditional

Glucocorticoid Receptor Activation Reprograms NK Cells to Drive AREG‐Mediated Immunosuppression: A Pan‐Cancer Role for AREG

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural killer cells, central to anti‐tumor defense, undergo unexpected reprogramming within the tumor microenvironment. Instead of producing IFN‐γ and TNF‐α, they elevate amphiregulin, a tumor‐promoting factor. This shift is linked to glucocorticoid receptor activity and prostaglandin signaling.
