New Immunotherapeutic Approaches for Glioblastoma by Gustavo Ignacio Vázquez Cervantes, Dinora F. González Esquivel, Saúl Gómez-Manzo, Benjamín Pineda, Verónica Pérez de la Cruz

“…The heterogeneity of GBM makes this tumor difficult to treat, and the immunotherapies result in an attractive approach to modulate the antitumoral immune responses favoring the tumor eradication. The immunotherapies for GMB including monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, vaccines, and oncolytic viruses, among others, have shown favorable results alone or as a multimodal treatment. …”

The Microbiome in Connective Tissue Diseases and Vasculitides: An Updated Narrative Review by Rossella Talotta, Fabiola Atzeni, Maria Chiara Ditto, Maria Chiara Gerardi, Piercarlo Sarzi-Puttini

“…Numerous studies suggest that alterations in human microbiota may be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritides as a result of the aberrant activation of the innate and adaptive immune responses. Only a few studies have explored the involvement of dysbiosis in other CTDs or vasculitides, and further research is needed.…”
