Genetic Determinants of Treatment‐Related Bone Toxicity in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Osteonecrosis and fractures are serious corticosteroid‐induced bone toxicities in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, yet their genetic determinants remain incompletely defined. In this study, we aimed to identify novel genetic contributors to bone toxicity and to evaluate the robustness of both newly identified and previously ...

Premedication Prior to Peg-Asparaginase Is Cost-Effective for Pediatric Leukemia Patients
Background: Asparaginase is a critical therapy component for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Hypersensitivity reactions and silent inactivation by neutralizing antibodies can lead to withholding further doses. Reactions occur in 10-20% of children receiving the commonly used, widely available pegylated asparaginase.

ABSTRACT Frontline blinatumomab combined with chemotherapy has resulted in improved outcomes in both pediatric and adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is considered the new cornerstone of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment. The role of asparaginase in this new landscape of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment was extensively ...

Hypersensitivity to Excipients in Drugs: An EAACI Position Paper
ABSTRACT Drugs contain active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients, compounds which enhance the pharmacokinetics, stability and palatability of the pharmaceutical formulation. While most drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) are caused by active ingredients, excipients may also be involved.

ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in older adults represents a growing clinical challenge, driven by an ageing population, adverse disease biology, and reduced tolerance to intensive chemotherapy. Although pediatric‐inspired regimens have improved outcomes in younger adults with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)‐negative ALL, survival in older ...

Artificial Cells: Perspective on Reconstructing Biological Cells and “Out of the Box” Innovations
The first artificial cell was artificial red blood cells (RBCs) (Chang, 1957), RBC is one of the most important cells because our cells, tissues, organs, and whole human being need it for survival. Even more exciting is innovating this to result in artificial cells of unlimited configurations, contents, and applications.
