Overactive JAK pathway signaling is a hallmark of immune diseases and critically affects on inflammation and coagulation. A number of mutations in the JAK2 gene act as driving forces of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), the pathogenesis of certain variants of acute leukemia, a number of solid malignancies and cardiovascular diseases. Assays for…[Read more]

She had never smoked or drunk alcohol. Her clinical condition had deteriorated progressively with the pregnancy.Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a progressive and frequently fatal interstitial lung disease that involves the upper lobes. Although its cause remains unknown, the histopathologic evidence underlying PPFE bears striking…[Read more]

The skin represents an attractive target tissue for vaccination against respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. Laser-facilitated epicutaneous immunization (EPI) has been established as a novel technology to overcome the skin barrier, which combines efficient delivery via micropores with an inherent adjuvant effect due to the release of…[Read more]

In this chapter, we provide an evolutionary rationale for limiting continuous treatment(s) with the same agent or combination of agents to avoid selection of resistant cancer subpopulation phenotypes, allowing “evolutionary rescue.” We draw upon evidence from nature demonstrating species extinction rarely occurring as a single event phenomenon,…[Read more]
