In oncology, predicting disease progression and treatment response remains a major challenge. While tumor biomarkers, imaging, and clinical parameters already guide therapeutic decisions, they do not always capture a patient’s overall biological state. Yet biological aging, which reflects physiological frailty, strongly inf...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies and systemic inflammation that can affect multiple organs, including the central nervous system. When the latter is involved, the condition is referred to as neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE), a common and particularly disab...

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is currently the leading cause of ICU admission among immunocompromised patients. Whether they have hematologic or solid malignancies, have undergone transplantation, or are receiving immunosuppressive therapy, this rapidly growing population remains particularly vulnerable. Despite advances...

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by bronchial hyperresponsiveness, excessive mucus production, and variable inflammation. It is not a single condition, but rather a group of phenotypes based on different immunological mechanisms.

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and Europe, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Its incidence continues to rise, making it a major public health concern. However, no vaccine is currently available for humans since the withdrawal of LYMErix in 2002 due to safety concerns and insuffic...

In most cancers, not all tumor cells actively proliferate. A fraction enters senescence, a state of durable arrest of cell division. Often referred to as “zombie” cells, these cells remain metabolically active without multiplying. Long considered beneficial, senescence is indeed one of the mechanisms through which chemother...

Long described as a disease of ventricular stiffness, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may, in patients with severe obesity, involve a distinct mechanism: an intrinsic impairment of heart muscle contraction. This is the finding of a study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine and publis...

Pregnancy is a key period of “developmental programming,” during which the maternal environment can have lasting effects on a child’s health. It is already known that physical activity during pregnancy improves the offspring’s metabolism, notably by reducing the risk of obesity and energy balance disorders. Converse...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults, with incidence increasing after the age of 60. This hematologic malignancy is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of immature cells—blasts—in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, disrupting normal hematopoiesis. Despite recent...
