We recently demonstrated a rapid reaction between labile ferric heme and nitric oxide (NO) in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH) or other small thiols in a process called thiol-catalyzed reductive nitrosylation, yielding a novel signaling molecule, labile nitrosyl ferrous heme (NO-ferroheme), which we and others have shown can regulate vasodilation and platelet homeostasis. Red blood cells (RBCs) contain high concentrations of GSH, and NO can be generated in the RBC via nitrite reduction and/or RBC endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) so that NO-ferroheme could, in principle, be formed in the RBC. NO-ferroheme may also form in other cells and compartments, including in plasma, where another small and reactive thiol species, hydrogen sulfide (HS/HS), is also present and may catalyze NO-ferroheme formation akin to GSH.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa; it develops when the immune system reacts to an allergen. Side effects of topical glucocorticosteroids (GCS) used for AR treatment, the development of steroid resistance in patients and the continuing increase in morbidity explain the clear need to search for new approaches for AR treatment. The tricyclic antidepressant nortriptyline has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in a number of experimental studies, as well as its ability to complement the action of corticosteroids.

Filoviruses, including the well-known Ebola virus, are among the most lethal pathogens known. The current vaccine landscape is constrained by stringent cold chain requirements making vaccine deployment challenging, especially in regions with limited infrastructure. ERVEBO®, the sole FDA-approved filovirus vaccine, requires ultra-cold storage.

Background: Subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) is a promising alternative to intravenous Ig (IVIg) for the treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM), thanks to its more favorable safety profile, reduced costs, and lower impact on patients' quality of life. We assessed the short- and long-term effectiveness and safety of recombinant human hyaluronidase-facilitated SCIg (hf-SCIg) in patients with IIM treated at different referral centers in Italy.
Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, real-life cohort study was conducted on consecutive adult patients diagnosed with IIM according to the EULAR/ACR criteria, treated with hf-SCIg for remission induction or maintenance.
