Relationship between circulating syndecan-1 levels (CD138s) and serum free light chains in monoclonal gammopathies.

BackgroundMonoclonal gammopathies encompass a wide range of diseases characterized by the monoclonal expansion of a B-cell clone. Despite emerging therapeutic strategies, chances of survival of patients who are affected are still scarce, which implies that new tools are necessary not only for the diagnosis but also for the follow-up of patients affected by such diseases. In this context, the use of free light chains (FLCs) has been incorporated into many guidelines. Likewise, tumor microenvironment is consistently gaining importance as role player in tumor pathogenesis. Specifically, Syndecan-

Immune reprogramming in the bone marrow microenvironment: a new perspective on the bone immune microenvironment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Research on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), a common bone metabolic disease, has traditionally focused on bone loss and imbalance in bone remodeling. However, with the development of bone immunology, the complex interactions between immune cells and bone cells in the bone marrow microenvironment have gradually been revealed, and "immune reprogramming" is considered a key factor driving the persistent bone loss in PMOP. Current evidence indicates that the postmenopausal bone marrow microenvironment undergoes significant structural and functional changes. These changes are characterized by a

Natural extract-derived compounds for the treatment of hematological diseases through modulation of the bone marrow microenvironment.

The bone marrow microenvironment comprises a complex network of hematopoietic stem cells, immune cells, stromal cells, and non-cellular components such as the extracellular matrix and soluble factors, collectively maintaining the homeostasis of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. It is highly vulnerable to pathological perturbations induced by hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, inflammatory stress, and therapeutic exposure, which collectively destabilize microenvironmental homeostasis and promote hematopoietic failure, malignant progression, and immune dysregulation.
