LGIM's Matthew Rees: Managing risk-return dynamics in fixed income

2 months ago | investmentweek.co.uk | Matthew Rees

Strong views on the actual trajectory of US fiscal and trade policies are hostages to fortune and confidence is difficult to justify, but the market seems both happy that the new government's package will be supportive for growth and relatively unconcerned about the impacts of tariffs on domestic growth.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtype in the world and most cases present with stages III/IV disease.1-3 These patients usually palpate a mass, develop pain, or have abnormal blood tests at the time of a routine exam leading to imaging, biopsy, and the diagnosis.

Clinical features associated with poor response and early relapse following BCMA-directed therapies in multiple myeloma - Blood Cancer Journal

Jul 22, 2024 | nature.com | Matthew Rees |Radhika Bansal |Sikander Ailawadhi |Ricardo D. Parrondo |Saurabh Chhabra |Angela Dispenzieri | +9 more

AbstractThree classes of BCMA-directed therapy (BDT) exist: antibody drug-conjugates (ADCs), CAR-T, and T-cell engagers (TCEs), each with distinct strengths and weaknesses. To aid clinicians in selecting between BDTs, we reviewed myeloma patients treated at Mayo Clinic with commercial or investigational BDT between 2018-2023.

Population density and ranging behaviour of a generalist carnivore varies with human population

May 21, 2024 | onlinelibrary.wiley.com | Brendan Alting |Benjamin J. Pitcher |Matthew Rees |José R. Ferrer-Paris

1 INTRODUCTION Mammalian predators have adapted to urban and peri-urban environments across the world, resulting in positive and negative interactions with people (Bateman & Fleming, 2012). To exploit the different types of resources available to them, individual animals utilising urban areas may exhibit behaviours distinct to their less urbanised counterparts (Klump et al., 2022).
‘Magic Pill’ Review: Ozempic and Hunger for Less

May 9, 2024 | wsj.com | Matthew Rees

It’s hard not to notice: More than a few celebrities—and millions of regular citizens—are managing to lose weight without taxing their willpower. The reason is Ozempic and other weight-loss drugs, which suppress appetite and make the ordeal of forswearing calories seem needless. Doctors who specialize in hip and knee replacement are getting nervous, as are the sales teams at food companies. Ozempic jokes have been delivered by hosts at the Academy Awards and the Grammys.
Group 3 medulloblastoma transcriptional networks collapse under domain specific EP300/CBP inhibition - Nature Communications

Apr 25, 2024 | nature.com | Matthew Rees |Melissa Ronan |Jennifer Roth |Yingzhe Wang |Brent A. Orr |Brian J. Abraham | +3 more

AbstractChemical discovery efforts commonly target individual protein domains. Many proteins, including the EP300/CBP histone acetyltransferases (HATs), contain several targetable domains. EP300/CBP are critical gene-regulatory targets in cancer, with existing high potency inhibitors of either the catalytic HAT domain or protein-binding bromodomain (BRD).
