High-dose biotin for multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials

Adrian Espiritu, Patricia Pauline M. Remalante-Rayco

Summary: A moderate certainty of evidence suggests a potential benefit in favor of HDB administered for 12 to 15 months in terms of improvement in 25-foot walk time (ITW25) in patients with progressive MS. However, an important trade-off of this benefit is the high certainty of evidence suggesting an increased incidence of laboratory test interference when HDB is taken.

End of the road: Astrocyte endfeet regulate OPC migration and myelination

Greg J. Duncan, Ben Emery

Summary: In this study, it was found that oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) utilize the vasculature as a scaffold for their migration. The researchers determined that astrocytic ensheathment of the vasculature mediates OPC detachment from blood vessels through the secretion of semaphorins, which regulates the timing of oligodendrocyte differentiation.

High-dose melphalan treatment significantly increases mutational burden at relapse in multiple myeloma

Mehmet Kemal Samur, Marco Roncador, Anil Aktas Samur, Mariateresa Fulciniti, Abdul Hamid Bazarbachi, Raphael Szalat, Masood A. Shammas, Adam S. Sperling, Paul G. Richardson, Florence Magrangeas, Stephane Minvielle, Aurore Perrot, Jill Corre, Philippe Moreau, Anjan Thakurta, Giovanni Parmigiani, Kenneth C. Anderson, Herve Avet-Loiseau, Nikhil C. Munshi

Summary: High-dose melphalan improves progression-free survival in multiple myeloma, but it causes more mutations in surviving myeloma cells at relapse. These newly acquired mutations are associated with DNA damage and double-stranded breaks, and are predominantly found on the transcribed strand. A machine learning model based on this unique pattern can predict patients who will receive high-dose melphalan with high accuracy.
