Therapeutic targeting of chromatin alterations in leukemia and solid tumors
Abstract Alterations in chromatin conformation and post‐translational modification of histones have become increasingly recognized as critical drivers of cancer development, progression, and therapy resistance. Recent advances in drug development have led to the establishment of several highly selective small molecule inhibitors, several of which are ...

Rituximab and Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) for Refractory Eosinophilic Fasciitis: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare condition with an unknown cause. This case study showed that a 40‐year‐old man with EF did not respond to standard treatments but improved after receiving rituximab and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Further studies are needed to confirm rituximab's effectiveness and long‐term safety for EF.
