Multifunctional Biomaterial Strategies to Regulate Inflammation and Promote Kidney Repair. (PubMed, Biomater Res)
We developed a biofunctional hybrid scaffold (PMEAR/MM/uEV) combining a porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-porcine extracellular matrix, ricinoleic acid-modified magnesium hydroxide, metanephric mesenchyme-like cells, and ureteric bud-derived extracellular vesicles, with resveratrol and adapalene to confer antioxidant and pro-regenerative properties...mRNA sequencing revealed activation of angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling, oxidative defense, and immune modulation, with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment in tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-17 signaling and nuclear factor kappa B-associated pathways. These findings establish PMEAR/MM/uEV as an effective, multimodal platform for kidney regeneration.

Extended cycles of anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab beta treatment combined with chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma: A retrospective study. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
In this single-center retrospective study, children with a median age 5.1 years (range, 2.0-11.1 years) with R/R HR-NB who were treated with >5 cycles of dinutuximab beta (10 mg/m2/day for 10-days per 35-day cycle), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and isotretinoin, plus chemotherapy, were included. No immune-related deaths occurred. Overall, cycles beyond the standard 5 cycles of dinutuximab beta with chemoimmunotherapy were effective and tolerable in pediatric patients with R/R HR-NB, demonstrating improved response and survival outcomes.

SG05 The use of oral methotrexate in a case of Ferguson-Smith syndrome. (PubMed, Br J Dermatol)
Despite 3 years of acitretin therapy, surgical excisions, imiquimod and repeated cryotherapy, the lesions remained poorly controlled. This case, along with her sister's experience, highlights oral methotrexate as a potential therapeutic option for refractory cases. Further studies are needed to explore its role in the management of this challenging condition.

A Red Lobulated Facial Mass: A Clinicopathological Challenge. (PubMed, Int J Dermatol)
The condition was refractory to initial methotrexate and isotretinoin therapy. We report a rare and clinically challenging case of RDD diagnosed with the aid of histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we emphasize the role of a combined approach of serial surgical excisions and systemic dapsone therapy.
