Rare loss of function variants in the hepatokine gene INHBE protect from abdominal obesity
Abdominal fat has been shown to increase cardiometabolic disease risk. In this study, the authors report that loss-of-function variants in the gene INHBE associate with lower BMI-adjusted waist-to-hip ratio, a surrogate measure of abdominal fat.

Immunogenicity of biologic therapies for migraine: a review of current evidence
Background Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway have been shown to be effective in migraine prevention. Eptinezumab, erenumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumb have shown efficacy in clinical trials along

Selection of GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs with limited off-target-driven rat hepatotoxicity
A subset of chemically-modified siRNAs conjugated to trivalent GalNAc may fail during nonclinical development due to rat hepatotoxicity. Here, the authors show that hepatotoxicity may be accounted for by microRNA-like off-target effects of siRNA and can ...

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Outcomes for pediatric relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain dismal. CPX‐351, a liposomal formulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin, may have less off‐target toxicities than traditional chemotherapies and has shown improved outcomes for adults with newly diagnosed therapy‐related AML.

Multi-residue analysis of pharmaceuticals in Belgian surface water : a novel screening-to-quantification approach using large-volume injection liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry [PDF]
The ever growing number of emerging micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals requests rapid and sensitive full-spectrum analytical techniques. Time-of-flight highresolution mass spectrometry (TOF-HRMS) is a promising alternative for the state-ofthe- art ...
