Safety and Efficacy of Palbociclib and Radiation Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer: Initial Results of a Novel Combination

Purpose: Palbociclib is a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor approved for metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer.Preclinical evidence suggests a possible synergistic effect of palbociclib when combined with radiation therapy (RT); however, the toxicity of this pairing is unknown.We report preliminary results on the use of this combination.

c-Maf-positive spinal cord neurons are critical elements of a dorsal horn circuit for mechanical hypersensitivity in neuropathy

Summary: Corticospinal tract (CST) neurons innervate the deep spinal dorsal horn to sustain chronic neuropathic pain.The majority of neurons targeted by the CST are interneurons expressing the transcription factor c-Maf.Here, we used intersectional genetics to decipher the function of these Advanced Wound Care - Antimicrobials neurons in dorsal hor
