Safety of live-attenuated MMR vaccination in patients with multiple myeloma receiving daratumumab after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASH 2025) - "The majority of patients (59%) received daratumumabin combination with lenalidomide (52%) or pomalidomide (7%) and dexamethasone, with remainingpatients receiving in combination with a proteasome inhibitor (7%) or as monotherapy (34%)...Our findings suggest MMR vaccination in immunocompromised patients with myeloma receivingdaratumumab after ASCT appears to be safe. Though a limited sample size, we did not observe anyvaccine-related disseminated measles, mumps, or rubella infections post-vaccination. MMR vaccination isespecially important for these immunocompromised patients given the rising rates of vaccine hesitancyin the general population and the increase in confirmed measles cases in the United States during 2024and 2025."

Plasma phosphorylated tau-217 correlates with brain atrophy, cognition, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in a cognitively healthy community cohort. (PubMed, Brain Commun) - "All plasma biomarkers correlated significantly with their CSF counterpart. These findings reinforce the utility of plasma biomarkers, particularly pTau-217, as indicators of neurodegenerative processes, even in asymptomatic individuals."

Advances in Proximity-Assisted Bioconjugation. (PubMed, Acc Chem Res) - "Here, we discovered the secondary participation of proximal lysines on Trastuzumab-V205C and Gemtuzumab-V205C, conjugatable THIOMAB antibodies commonly used in ADCs, leading to the formation of distinct bioconjugate products relative to IgGs without such lysines...In short, this Account highlights our group's contributions to and insights on PAB methodologies wherein we illustrate how PIC can be thoughtfully applied to bioconjugation techniques for various aims including regioselective bioconjugation and enhanced bioconjugate stability. We expect that PAB approaches will continue to diversify bioconjugation applications and greatly expand the toolkit of chemical biologists."

Prediction of clinical pregnancy after frozen embryo transfer based on ultrasound radiomics: an analysis based on the optimal periendometrial zone. (PubMed, BMC Pregnancy Childbirth) - "PEZ4.0 mm could be the optimal area for predicting clinical pregnancy after FET. An US-based radiomics model that combines EN and PEZ4.0 mm demonstrated strong potential in helping clinicians predict FET outcomes more accurately, thereby supporting informed decision-making before treatment."

Neuropsychological Profile in Adults with Asymptomatic, Untreated Congenital Hydrocephalus (AAN 2025) - "The results suggest that healthy neurologically normal adults with asymptomatic UCH may have mild cognitive weaknesses in areas of psychomotor processing, mental tracking/sequencing, and contextual learning and memory, even in the absence of cerebral microvascular disease. It is unclear whether these deficits are developmental and longstanding, or represent a decline from previous functioning. Longitudinal studies of asymptomatic adults with UCH are needed."

Comparison of Eligibility Criteria and Baseline Characteristics Between the Patient Populations of evoke and evoke+, Clarity AD and TRAILBLAZER-ALZ-2 (AAN 2025) - "Objective:To compare the evoke and evoke+ trial populations with other phase 3 programs for disease-modifying therapy (DMT) in early Alzheimer's disease (AD).Background:evoke and evoke+ are phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials currently investigating the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide DMT in persons with early AD.Design/We compared the inclusion/exclusion criteria and baseline characteristics of the evoke/evoke+ trial populations with those of Clarity AD (lecanemab) and TRAILBLAZER-ALZ-2 (donanemab): two recent phase 3 trials assessing anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies in persons with early AD...All four studies targeted biologically defined early-stage AD but differed in cognitive inclusion criteria. Unlike evoke/evoke+ and Clarity AD, TRAILBLAZER-ALZ-2 recruited more patients with impairment and used tau PET for staging. A higher number of non-White participants were included in evoke, evoke+ and Clarity AD vs TRAILBLAZER-ALZ-2."

Tablet-based self assessment memory scale-revised (SAMS-R) evaluates memory functions for older adults. (PubMed, Front Aging Neurosci) - "The ROC curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the detectability to determine whether if the WMS-R LM II score is above or below 10, showing that the AUC was greater than 0.9. SAMS-R, which can be performed on a tablet literally by himself/herself independently, shows a high correlation with the WMS-R Logical Memory II score, and has the advantage of being performed in a short time without the need for a clinical psychologist or other personnel."

Securing long-term immunity: The possible necessity of supplementary measles vaccination. (PubMed, BMC Infect Dis) - "The study reveals seropositivity rates lower than expected, highlighting challenges in achieving WHO targets. This suggests a potential need for booster doses during adolescence to maintain protective antibody levels. The findings emphasize the importance of continued surveillance and research to adapt vaccination strategies effectively and prevent measles outbreaks, particularly considering the decline in antibody levels and diverse vaccination histories across populations."
