Research

Primary central nervous system lymphoma: Initial features, outcome, and late effects in 75 children and adolescents

Children with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma and no immunodeficiency have a good outcome

Research

Inflammation induces α1-adrenoceptor expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with complex regional pain syndrome

Persistent regional and systemic inflammation may promote pain and hyperalgesia in complex regional pain syndrome. In this study, we investigated whether stimulation of α1-adrenoceptors on peripheral blood mononuclear cells might contribute to this inflammatory state.

New therapeutic opportunities from dissecting the pre-B leukemia bone marrow microenvironment

We provide evidence that targeting leukemia-induced bone loss is a therapeutic strategy for pre-B ALL

Research

A novel, palatable paediatric oral formulation of midazolam: Pharmacokinetics, tolerability, efficacy and safety

We conclude that the novel chocolate-based formulation of midazolam provides improved tolerability while remaining efficacious

Research

Rare childhood cancers—an increasing entity requiring the need for global consensus and collaboration

Rare childhood cancers have not benefited to the same extent from the gains that have been made for their frequently occurring counterparts.

Deregulated expression of connective tissue growth factor is linked to poor outcome in human cancer

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) has long been associated with human cancers. The role it plays in these neoplasms is diverse and tumour specific.

Research

The critical role of the bone marrow stromal microenvironment for the development of drug screening platforms in leukemia

Extensive research over the past 50 years has resulted in significant improvements in survival for patients diagnosed with leukemia. Despite this, a subgroup of patients harboring high-risk genetic alterations still suffer from poor outcomes. There is a desperate need for new treatments to improve survival, yet consistent failure exists in the translation of in vitro drug development to clinical application.

FDA-approved disulfiram as a novel treatment for aggressive leukemia

Acute leukemia continues to be a major cause of death from disease worldwide and current chemotherapeutic agents are associated with significant morbidity in survivors. While better and safer treatments for acute leukemia are urgently needed, standard drug development pipelines are lengthy and drug repurposing therefore provides a promising approach.
