Sensitive B-cell receptor repertoire analysis shows repopulation correlates with clinical response to rituximab in rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that rather than BCR-depletion it is repopulation with unmutated BCRs, possibly from naïve B cells, which induces remission. This suggests that (pre-existing) differences in B-cell turnover between patients explain the interindividual differences in early clinical effect.PMID:38493208 | DOI:10.1186/s13075-024-03297-7 (Source: Cell Research)

In parallel to the demonstration of benefit using combination therapy with rituximab plus high-dose cytarabine (R-AraC) as well as dose intensive therapy-autologous stem cell transplantation (DIT-ASCT) consolidation and maintenance, it became clear over the last 2 decades that MCL is a highly heterogenous disease at the molecular level, expl...

Ferroptosis mechanisms and its novel potential therapeutic targets for DLBCL
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Mar 15;173:116386. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116386. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a heterogeneous lymphoid malignancy, poses a significant threat to human health. The standard therapeutic regimen for patients with DLBCL is rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP), with a typical cure rate of 50-70%. However, some patients either relapse after complete remission (CR) or exhibit resistance to R-CHOP treatment. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches are imperative for managing high-risk or refractory DLBCL. Ferroptosis is...

Adding MYC/BCL2 double expression to NCCN-IPI may not improve prognostic value to an acceptable level
CONCLUSIONS: Adding DE to the NCCN-IPI may not improve the prognostic value to an acceptable level in resource-limited settings. Multiple independent confirmatory studies from a large cohort of lymphoma registries have provided additional evidence for the clinical utility of DE.PMID:38485822 | DOI:10.1007/s44313-024-00006-w (Source: Blood Research)
