Article Abstract

The lack of potent and selective tool compounds with pharmaceutically favorable properties limits the in vivo understanding of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 5 (M) biology. Previously, we presented a highly potent and selective M antagonist VU6019650 with a suboptimal clearance profile as our second-generation tool compound. Herein, we disclose our ongoing efforts to generate next-generation M antagonists with improved clearance profiles. A mix and match approach between VU6019650 (lead) and VU0500325 (HTS hit) generated a piperidine amide-based novel M antagonist series. Several analogs within this series, including 29f, provided good on-target potency with improved clearance profiles, though room for improvement remains.

This study aims to systematically assess the therapeutic effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty in managing osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Previous studies have suggested that TiRobot-assisted techniques outperform conventional manual procedures in treating this condition, but relevant conclusions remain controversial. A thorough literature retrieval was carried out across 4 major databases: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis, characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment that promotes immunosuppression and limits the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is overexpressed in the tumor stroma and represents a promising target for therapeutic intervention. Here, we developed a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting FAP, and investigated its anti-tumor activity and ability to enhance ICB efficacy in pancreatic cancer.

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) is a heterogeneous malignancy driven by diverse cytogenetic mutations. While identification of cytogenetic lesions improved risk stratification, prognostication remains inadequate with 30% of standard-risk patients experiencing relapse within 5 years. To deeply characterize pAML heterogeneity and identify poor outcome-associated blast cell profiles, we performed an analysis on 708,285 cells from 164 bone marrow biopsies of 95 patients and 11 healthy controls.

Background: Mogamulizumab is more effective in treating the blood component of mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS), though some patients also experience significant skin improvement. The characteristics distinguishing those with a favorable skin response remain unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to characterize MF/SS patients achieving skin response on mogamulizumab.

Historical and Potential Modern Uses of Negative-Pressure Ventilation for Critically Ill Patients.

Respir Care

September 2025

Dr. Thomasian and Prof. Wunsch are affiliated with Department of Anesthesiology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York, USA.

Negative-pressure ventilation (NPV) is a form of noninvasive respiratory support in which an external subatmospheric pressure is applied to the thorax to facilitate lung expansion. Although largely supplanted by positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) in modern-day practice, NPV has garnered renewed interest as a potential noninvasive adjunct or alternative to PPV. Appropriate patient selection would be key, particularly in the ICU setting, where NPV is generally contraindicated in patients with severe upper airway obstruction, high oxygenation requirements, or absent airway reflexes.
