A Safer Lytic Alternative: Multi-omics and Immunoinformatics Reveal Reduced Inflammatory Impact of a Chimeric Endolysin Against Antibiotic-induced Immune Dysregulation. (PubMed, Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol)
Structural modeling showed weak interactions with Toll-like receptors, and epitope analysis predicted low immunogenicity. These results suggest ZAM-MSC may offer a safer antimicrobial alternative, though all protein-level findings are based on computational predictions and require experimental validation.

Laboratory Workup in Pars Plana Diagnostic Vitrectomy: A Real-World Multidisciplinary Retrospective Case Series of Brazilian Patients with Uveitis. (PubMed, Ocul Immunol Inflamm)
These findings provide a realistic overview of the diagnostic approach achievable in a multidisciplinary, real-world setting in South America. Strategic analysis of vitreous samples, guided by clinical suspicion and tailored laboratory testing, allows diagnostic vitrectomy to play a pivotal role in confirming infectious etiologies anduncovering masquerade syndromes associated with intraocular malignancies.

IL-6/STAT3 signaling in prostate cancer: CAF-driven immune evasion and therapeutic opportunities. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Elevated serum IL-6 levels in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer are associated with poor responses to docetaxel, enzalutamide, or abiraterone, and correlate with worse prognosis. Simultaneously, modulating CAF plasticity to convert tumor-promoting phenotypes into tumor-restraining ones represents a promising therapeutic avenue. A deeper understanding of IL-6 functions across CAF subtypes may unlock novel precision therapy opportunities for prostate cancer.

IL-6R blockade with tocilizumab disrupts pericyte-and tumor cell-driven IL-6/STAT3 signaling, enhancing docetaxel efficacy in ER+ breast cancer. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Furthermore, combined treatment with tocilizumab and DTX synergistically suppressed the growth of zero-passage patient-derived ER+ breast cancer organoids expressing intact IL-6 signaling. Together, our findings suggest that combining DTX with tocilizumab may revert DTX-induced chemoresistance in ER+ breast cancer patients by inhibiting IL-6-mediated activation of the STAT3 pathway.

Interventional effects of mesenchymal stem cells on epithelial-mesenchymal transition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and underlying mechanisms: a systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
The existing in vitro evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells may exhibit a potential to promote EMT in HNSCC, potentially regulating tumor progression through multiple signaling pathway networks and providing new potential targets for future therapies targeting the TME. However, more high-quality, standardized in vivo and in vitro studies are needed to further validate the related mechanisms and therapeutic potential.

Etiology of polyploid giant cancer cells: a new frontier in cancer biology. (PubMed, Cancer Cell Int)
Given their unique properties and clinical relevance, PGCCs represent a promising frontier in cancer biology with the potential to overcome therapeutic resistance and prevent tumor recurrence through targeted interventions. This review seeks to elucidate the role of PGCCs across multiple cancer types and highlights their emerging potential as novel targets for future cancer therapies.

MicroRNAs profiles in seminal plasma: a bioinformatic insight into pathways and gene networks involved in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). (PubMed, Asian J Androl)
Pathway enrichment analyses indicated that the target genes of dysregulated miRNAs were enriched in cancer-related pathways and processes involving nucleic acid metabolism. Given the reported increased cancer risk among azoospermic patients, these findings suggest that specific miRNAs in seminal plasma may serve as novel non-invasive biomarkers and point to shared molecular mechanisms potentially linking NOA and cancer etiology.

Inflammatory cytokine-associated cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer and re-sensitization through interleukin-6 receptor blockade. (PubMed, World J Clin Oncol)
Functional experiments using tocilizumab, an IL-6 receptor antagonist, demonstrate a reduction in DDP half maximum inhibitory concentration, higher apoptosis rates, and decreased migration and invasion in resistant cells. Although the study has certain limitations, such as the analysis of only five inflammatory cytokines in a small, non-stratified patient cohort; it demonstrates that targeting the IL-6 cytokine axis may help overcome DDP resistance. Overall, the study highlights the inflammatory component of the tumor microenvironment as a modifiable driver of chemoresistance and provide a rationale for integrating cytokine blockade into platinum-based chemotherapy regimens to enhance therapeutic response.

Biomarkers. (PubMed, Alzheimers Dement)
While baseline ALI was similar across cognitive statuses, longitudinal changes in specific neuroendocrine and inflammatory biomarkers, particularly Cortisol, Prolactin, IL-18, and TNF-α, were strongly associated with those with cognitive decline and AD progression. Future studies should identify clusters of AL biomarkers linked to cognitive decline across the AD continuum.

Modulating Role of Resveratrol in Metabolic and Inflammatory Dysregulation Caused by Surgical and Psychoemotional Stress in Rats. (PubMed, Pathophysiology)
It also attenuated both basal and inducible lipid peroxidation (TBA-RS -11% and -13%), indicating restoration of antioxidant capacity. Thus, resveratrol effectively counteracts the neuroendocrine, inflammatory, and metabolic disturbances induced by combined PTSD-like stress and surgical trauma.

Investigating the therapeutic efficacy of physical exercise on tumor immunity in a mouse model of malignant colon cancer. (PubMed, Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol)
This study confirms that exercise training exerts anti-tumor effects by remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment, activating systemic immune responses, and reducing ctDNA burden. Its unique "immune normalization" effect provides important evidence for the development of "exercise-immunotherapy" combination treatment strategies.

Cellular and humoral vaccination response under immunotherapies-German consensus on vaccination strategies in neurological autoimmune diseases. (PubMed, Ther Adv Neurol Disord)
The specific humoral and cellular response to vaccination can be compromised under alemtuzumab, azathioprine, cladribine, cyclophosphamide, CD19/CD20 antibodies (inebilizumab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, rituximab, ublituximab), dimethyl fumarate/diroximel fumarate, FcRn inhibitors (efgartigimod, rozanolixizumab), complement C5 inhibitors (eculizumab, ravulizumab, zilucoplan), interleukin-6 receptor antibodies (tocilizumab, satralizumab), intravenous immunoglobulins, long-term steroid administration, methotrexate, mitoxantrone, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, teriflunomide, tumor necrosis factor-α blockers, and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators (fingolimod, ozanimod, ponesimod, siponimod), as well as after autologous stem cell transplantation...However, the humoral and cellular vaccination response may be impaired under immunotherapy necessitating close monitoring. Here, we provide applicable recommendations to optimize immunization for individuals receiving immunotherapy due to a neurological autoimmune disease.
