T-cell engagers in cancer immunotherapy: mechanisms, challenges, and future perspectives.

T-cell engagers (TCEs) are a rapidly evolving class of cancer immunotherapies that redirect cytotoxic T cells to tumor-associated antigens independently of MHC presentation. This review outlines the development, structural formats, and therapeutic potential of various TCE platforms, including bispecific (BiTEs) and trispecific T-cell engagers (TriTEs), dual affinity re-targeting (DART), and other emerging formats. We also highlight the clinical success in treating hematologic malignancies as demonstrated by agents such as blinatumomab and teclistamab. We also discussed the ongoing challenges i

Primary lymphoma of bone: a population-based study of 2558 patients.

BackgroundPrimary lymphoma of bone (PLB) is an extremely rare malignancy arising in the skeletal system. There is no consensus over the best definition of PLB. Most of the published articles are single-institutional retrospective studies with a limited sample size. The rarity of PLB and discrepancies on diagnostic criteria has resulted in a vague understanding of PLB.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of 2558 PLB patients who were registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1973 to 2016. Survival rates w

Continued advances in genome editing exponentially broaden our knowledge of human genetics, epigenetics, molecular biology, and pathology. Currently, gene editing-mediated therapies have led to impressive responses in patients with hematological diseases, including sickle cell disease and thalassemia. With the discovery of more e

Medical history predicts phenome-wide disease onset and enables the rapid response to emerging health threats.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a global deficiency of systematic, data-driven guidance to identify high-risk individuals. Here, we illustrate the utility of routinely recorded medical history to predict the risk for 1741 diseases across clinical specialties and support the rapid response to emerging health threats such as COVID-19. We developed a neural network to learn from health records of 502,489 UK Biobank participants. Importantly, we observed discriminative improvements over basic demographic predictors for 1546 (88.8%) endpoints. After transferring the unmodified risk models to the All

Transcriptomic profiling identifies ferroptosis and NF-κB signaling involved in α-dimorphecolic acid regulation of microglial inflammation.

BACKGROUND: Microglia-evoked neuroinflammation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Metabolic reprogramming, including changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), plays a critical role in MS pathophysiology. Previous studies identified reduced plasma α-dimorphecolic acid (α-DIPA), a linoleic acid derivative, in MS patients. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of α-DIPA on microglia and the underlying pathways. METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 microglial inflammation was used as an in vitro model. α-DIPA effects were ass…

Charting the Current Landscape and Future Prospects of Cancer Therapy-Related Cardiovascular Toxicity in Cancer Survivors: From Bench to Bedside.

Cardio-oncology represents an emerging interdisciplinary discipline focusing on optimizing oncologic efficacy while mitigating treatment-related cardiovascular complications. The advent of novel anticancer agents such as targeted therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and endocrine therapies has transformed cancer care, significantly improving survival rates. Nevertheless, prolonged patient survivorship has unmasked clinically significant cardiovascular sequelae, termed cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT), which manifests as acute manifestations during therapy and delaye

Management of refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: current perspectives.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is increasingly observed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with a reported incidence between 4% and 6%. The disease is generally severe and refractory to standard therapy, with high mortality, and there are neither defined therapies, nor prospective clinical trials addressing the best treatment. Most of the knowledge on the therapy of AIHAs derives from primary forms, which are highly heterogeneous as well, further complicating the management of post-allo-HSCT forms. The review addresses the risk factors associated with pos

Sympathetic nervous system in tumor progression and metabolic regulation: mechanisms and clinical potential.

Tumor progression is characterized by profound metabolic alterations and dynamic interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME), which enable rapid proliferation, immunoinvasion, and metastasis. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which has been best known for its role in stress regulation, has emerged as a critical regulator of tumor metabolism. The SNS influences glucose, lipid and glutamine metabolism in tumor cells and stromal components by releasing neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine (NE), creating a pro-tumor metabolic and immunosuppressive microenvironment. SNS signaling e

Dexamethasone co-medication in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy causes substantial immunomodulatory effects with implications for chemo-immunotherapy strategies.

The glucocorticoid (GC) steroid dexamethasone (Dex) is used as a supportive care co-medication for cancer patients undergoing standard care pemetrexed/platinum doublet chemotherapy. As trials for new cancer immunotherapy treatments increase in prevalence, it is important to track the immunological changes induced by co-medications commonly used in the clinic, but not specifically included in trial design or in pre-clinical models. Here, we document a number of Dex -induced immunological effects, including a large-scale lymphodepletive effect particularly affecting CD4+ T cells but also CD8+ T

Integrating imaging and biomarker assessment to better define psoriatic arthritis and predict response to biologic therapy.

The treatment options for PsA have substantially expanded over the last decade. Approximately 40% of patients will not respond to first-line anti-TNF-α therapies. There is limited data to help clinicians select the most appropriate biologic therapy for PsA patients, including guidance for decisions on biologic therapy switching. In this review we will examine the current understanding of predictors of response to treatment. Imaging technology has evolved to allow us to better study psoriatic disease and define disease activity, including synovitis and enthesitis. Enthesitis is implicated in th

Gaucher disease, state of the art and perspectives.

Knowledge about Gaucher disease (GD), considered a model for rare diseases, has considerably increased since its discovery. The pathophysiology of this lysosomal disorder is better known, and specific therapies that can control many aspects of the disease have been developed, particularly for the most common form, Type 1 GD. Yet, in part because of the rarity of GD, but also because of a lack of awareness by physicians, diagnostic delay too often leads to a belated management of patients having accumulated comorbidities. Gaucher cells, the most visible consequence of glucocerebrosidase deficie

Biological Role, Mechanism of Action and the Importance of Interleukins in Kidney Diseases.

Each year, the number of patients who are diagnosed with kidney disease too late is increasing, which leads to permanent renal failure. This growing problem affects people of every age, sex and origin, and its full etiopathogenesis is not fully understood, although the involvement of genetic susceptibility, infections, immune disorders or high blood pressure is suggested. Difficulties in making a correct and quick diagnosis are caused by the lack of research on early molecular markers, as well as educational and preventive activities among the public, which leads to the late detection of kidne

Oral cryotherapy for management of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in haematopoietic cell transplantation: a systematic review.

BackgroundOral mucositis (OM) is known to be the most common and challenging side effect of conditioning chemotherapy in haematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). This side effect causes significant morbidity and may delay the treatment plan, as well as increase therapeutic expenses. There are few clinical trials in the literature that indicate any kind of treatment or prevention methods are effective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to perform a systematic review of literature and examine the effectiveness of oral cryotherapy (OC) in management of chemotherapy-induced OM in patients with haem

Immunological Approaches Towards Cancer and Inflammation: A Cross Talk.

The inflammation is the protective response of the body against various harmful stimuli; however, the aberrant and inappropriate activation tends to become harmful. The acute inflammatory response tends to resolved once the offending agent is subside but this acute response becomes chronic in nature when the body is unable to successfully neutralized the noxious stimuli. This chronic inflammatory microenvironment is associated with the release of various pro-inflammatory and oncogenic mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), cytokines [IL-1β, IL-2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α
