Genetic and immunological determinants of Pemphigus vulgaris: integrative analysis of HLA-DRB1 and FCGR2B variants.

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease mediated by pathogenic autoantibodies. Although both HLA and non-HLA loci contribute to disease susceptibility, their combined roles in immune regulation remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the joint contribution of HLA-DRB1 and FCGR2B variants to PV susceptibility within an integrative immunogenetic framework. Gen...

Prospects and Challenges of Personalized Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer Treatment and Long-term Cancer Management.

Breast cancer is highly heterogeneous,and different molecular subtypes exhibit significant variations in their response to immunotherapy.While significant progress has been achieved in the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors,chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies,and personalized cancer vaccines for breast cancer,the immunosuppressive nature of the breast cancer tumor microenvironment,...

Nanomedicine carrier-based combined antitumor strategy integrating phototherapy and immunotherapy.

INTRODUCTION: The combination of phototherapy (PTT/PDT) and immunotherapy holds promise for cancer treatment but is hindered by poor spatiotemporal co...

Genome-wide variation in cell-free DNA end motif entropy predicts immunotherapy response in head and neck cancer.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive biomarkers predicting immunotherapy response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain an unmet clinical ...

The Role of Inflammatory Biomarkers in Disease Severity and Treatment Response across Psoriasis, Atopic Dermatitis, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa-A Narrative Review.

Chronic inflammatory skin diseases (CISDs) such as psoriasis (PsO), atopic dermatitis (AD), and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) involve both cutaneous a...

Development and validation of artificial intelligence-based model for bladder cancer immunophenotyping using whole slide images.

The classification of immunophenotypes in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is critical for predicting immunotherapy response and clinical outcome...

Synthetic Inducible Bacteria Normalize the Microenvironment of Refractory Tumors, Potentiating Checkpoint Inhibitor Responses.

Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment but remains ineffective in many solid tumors, largely due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironme...
