One of the most important steps forward in the management of cancer was the discovery of immunotherapy. It has become an essential pillar in the treatment paradigm of cancer patients. Unfortunately, despite the various options presented with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the benefit is still limited to select patients and the vast majority of these patients gain either minimal benefit or eventually progress, leaving an unmet need for the development of novel therapeutic agents and strategies. Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3), an immune checkpoint receptor protein, is a molecule found on the surface of activated T-cells. It plays a major role in negatively regulating T-cell function thereby providing tumors with an immune escape in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Given its importance in regulating the immune system, LAG-3 has been considered as a promising target in oncology and precision medicine. To date, two LAG-3-directed agents (eftilagimod alpha and relatlimab) have been approved in combination with programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in the setting of advanced solid tumors. In this review, we discuss the structure of LAG-3, its mechanism of action, and its interaction with its ligands. We also shed light on the emerging treatments targeting LAG-3 for the treatment of solid tumors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a term collectively used to describe all cancers that develop in the oral and nasal cavities, the paranasal sinuses, the salivary glands, the pharynx, and the larynx. The majority (75%) of all newly diagnosed cases are observed in patients with locally advanced and aggressive disease, associated with significant relapse rates (30%) and poor prognostic outcomes, despite advances in multimodal treatment. Consequently, there is an unmet need for the identification and application of tools that would enable diagnosis at the earliest possible stage, accurately predict prognostic outcomes, contribute to the timely detection of relapses, and aid in the decision for therapy selection. Recent evidence suggests that DNA methylation can alter the expression of genes in a way that it favors tumorigenesis and tumor progression in HNSCC, and therefore represents a potential source for biomarker identification. This study summarizes the current knowledge on how abnormally methylated DNA profiles in HNSCC patients may contribute to the pathogenesis of HNSCC and designate the methylation patterns that have the potential to constitute clinically valuable biomarkers for achieving significant advances in the management of the disease and for improving survival outcomes in these patients.

Cancer immunosurveillance, or the elimination phase, is one phase, wherein the immune system eliminates the tumor cells, which is triggered by the acquisition of tumor-specific and tumor-associated antigens [[90]]. Dying tumor cells release cytokines type I IFNs, and the surface of the tumor cells is composed of ligands such as MICA/B and H60, which activate the immune system cells by binding to the receptors.

Lee et al. have mentioned that resistant tumor clones in HNSCC which are left behind in immunoediting remain resistant to T cell killing and T cell-based immunotherapy, but are sensitive to NK cell-based immunotherapy; in such patients, a combination of T cell and NK cell-based immunotherapy may benefit them [[103]]. Macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), neutrophils, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), natural killer cells (NKs), and innate lymphoid cells are the innate immune cells, and the adaptive immune cell comprises of T cells and B cells [[3]].

- Abstract
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Jasper's Basic Mechanisms of the Epilepsies has served as the definitive reference in the field of basic research in the epilepsies for five decades through four well-regarded editions. Since its inception, the book has been an indispensable must-read and belongs in the hands of every experimental epilepsy investigator, practicing epileptologist, clinical neuroscientist, and student for both clinical and basic science reference, doctoral and board exam preparation. This fifth edition is the most ambitious yet and remains the definitive reference in the field, providing encyclopedic and updated coverage of the current understanding of basic research in the epilepsies, while also mapping new research directions for the next decade, and reviewing how molecular laboratory evidence is now being translated into new therapeutics. In 79 chapters, the book considers the role of interactions between neurons, synapses, and glia in the initiation, spread, and arrest of seizures. It examines mechanisms of excitability, synchronization, seizure susceptibility and, ultimately, their contributions to epileptogenesis. It provides a framework for expanding the monogenic epilepsy genome and understanding the complex heredity responsible for common epilepsies. It explores the molecular and cellular disease mechanisms of ion channelopathies, developmental epilepsy genes, and progressive myoclonic epilepsies. It considers newly emerging mechanisms of epilepsy comorbidities. And, for the first time, it describes current efforts to identify biomarkers of disease progression and translate discoveries of epilepsy disease mechanisms into new therapeutic strategies at the frontier of molecular medicine.

- Abstract
This book brings together the exciting new findings that will bring us closer to a better understanding of the alterations of neuronal connectivity in autistic brains. This volume authoritatively covers the epidemiology, physiology, neurodevelopment, genetics, environmental influences, imaging studies, neuroanatomy, and neurochemistry of autism spectrum disorders. While the neurobiology of autism is still a long way from being understood, this book posits techniques, such as using brain imaging to find signatures in early days of life, that could help move the diagnosis and help identify neural pathways. Understanding these mechanisms opens the possibility to pharmacological, behavioral, and psychosocial therapeutic interventions. With contributions from the leading international autism researchers, Neurobiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders is the go-to reference for researchers and clinicians with an interest in understanding the underlying neurobiologyof autism spectrum disorders.

- Abstract
Dieses Buch liefert eine fundierte Bestandsaufnahme zur Geschichte des Umgangs mit Non-Financial Risks und leitet daraus nützliche Empfehlungen für das künftige Risikomanagement ab. Im Jahr 1995 hat der Untergang von Barings Bank durch „rogue trading“ (Nick Leeson) für nachhaltige Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt, 1997 sind erste Studien zu Operational Risk in Banken erschienen (BBA/C&L), 1999 das erste Konsultationspapier zu „Basel II“, in dem „other risks“ (aus denen später „operational risk“ wurde) thematisiert wurden. Somit ist ca. ein Vierteljahrhundert verstrichen, seit erste Banken begannen, sich systematisch mit dieser Disziplin (die seit ca. 10 Jahren im breiteren Sinne, unter Einschluss von Reputationsrisiken und Strategischen Risiken zunehmend unter „Non-Financial Risk“ firmiert) zu beschäftigen. Versicherungen und andere Finanzdienstleister haben zu einem etwas späteren Zeitpunkt begonnen, sich mit diesen Themen intensiv auseinanderzusetzen. Ein Rückblick auf diese Zeitspanne und ein Ausblick auf die Zukunft scheint daher lehrreich zu sein. Der Autor ist selbst seit Januar 1999 in dem Thema unterwegs (HypoVereinsbank, später Commerzbank, KPMG, Deutsche Bank, KPMG) – ergänzend zahlreiche Vorlesungen, Seminare, Konferenzen und Vorträge zu Operational Risk und Non-Financial Risk Management.
