Optimizing limited antibody panels for efficient hematological disorders diagnosis by flow cytometry in resource-constrained setting. (PubMed, Clin Transl Oncol)
Optimizing a minimal antibody panel in resource-limited settings enhances flow cytometry-based diagnosis, reduces patient financial burden, enables timely and accurate results, and guides treatment decisions to improve patient outcomes.

BCOR mutations define a therapeutic vulnerability to DHODH Inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
We demonstrate that BCOR-deficient cells have a heightened sensitivity to DHODH inhibitors such as brequinar and leflunomide, that are already in clinical use. Rather, DHODH's role in the electron transport chain, essential for mitigating reactive oxygen species, may be the physiological vulnerability that pushes BCOR-mutant cells toward cell death when DHODH is inhibited. DHODH inhibitors could be repurposed as targeted therapies for BCOR-mutant tumors, offering a promising strategy for precision medicine in AML and other cancers.

Neuro-related gene signatures predict prognosis in diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma and uncover TRPV2-mediated tumor microenvironment regulation. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
Although the R-CHOP regimen has significantly improved the prognosis for most patients, a subset continues to experience poor therapeutic outcomes...The key gene TRPV2, associated with favorable prognosis, was found to promote M1-like polarization in monocytes/macrophages and enhance antigen presentation in B cells. This study establishes the NR risk score as a novel prognostic tool for DLBCL and underscores neuro-immune interactions as potential therapeutic targets.

Engineering a fifth-generation CAR T cells to overcome PD-L1-mediated immunosuppression in lung cancer. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
Human T lymphocytes were engineered with a lentiviral vector to express anti-FRα-CAR5, which incorporates a fourth-generation CAR backbone (CD28, 4-1BB, CD27, and CD3 zeta) augmented by a secreted anti-PD-L1 scFv derived from atezolizumab...This fifth-generation CAR offers a promising strategy to enhance CAR T cell therapy efficacy in PD-L1-mediated immunosuppressive TMEs. These findings suggest that anti-FRα-CAR5 T cells therapy warrants further preclinical validation as a potential treatment strategy for NSCLC patients.

Alpha-difluoromethylornithine suppresses angiogenesis via the FLI1-CLEC14A-VEGFC pathway in retinal endothelial cells. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
In conclusion, these findings reveal that DFMO suppresses retinal angiogenesis via the FLI1-CLEC14A-VEGFC axis. This study provides new insights into the transcriptional regulation of angiogenesis and suggests potential molecular targets for treating neovascular retinal diseases.

Discovery of WWZ-11-098: a rigid and selective CDK6 degrader. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
In addition, WWZ-11-098 displayed favorable pharmacokinetic properties (Cmax = 11833 ng/mL, T1/2 = 2.64 h after a 5 mpk IV dose) and exhibited robust antitumor efficacy (TGI: 77.1 % @10 mpk) in a MOLT-4 xenograft model without signs of toxicity. The compound provides not only a valuable chemical probe but also a lead structure for further development of CDK6 degraders.

Deciphering the molecular landscape of Sjögren's disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and thyroid cancer: unraveling the complexities of disease mechanisms and diagnostic biomarkers. (PubMed, Clin Rheumatol)
This integrative multi-cohort study uncovered common transcriptional and immune signatures underlying SjD, MALT lymphoma, and thyroid cancer. The identification of shared hub genes, particularly PLA2G7 and TGFB1I1, provides novel insight into the immune-driven transition from chronic inflammation to malignancy and offers promising biomarkers for cross-disease diagnosis and immunotherapeutic stratification. Key Points • Key genes (PLA2G7 and TGFB1I1) affecting the occurrence of Sjögren's syndrome, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and thyroid cancer are identified for the first time. • Bioinformatics methods were employed to simultaneously study three diseases for the first time.

NK cell-mediated tumor cell killing by bispecific innate cell engagers induces ADCC-mediated activation of primary human dendritic cells. (PubMed, Oncoimmunology)
Nevertheless, ADCC boosted the capacity of cDC1 and DC2 to prime naïve T cell responses but not of DC3. Thus, our data suggests that the therapy with bispecific antibodies targeting NK cells may have the potential to facilitate adaptive antitumor immune responses via activation of cDC1 and DC2.

Can minimal residual disease be used to tailor therapy duration for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients? (PubMed, Expert Rev Hematol)
Undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) has emerged as a critical prognostic and potentially predictive biomarker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), particularly in venetoclax-based time-limited regimens...Ongoing trials will further define the role of MRD-adapted therapy duration in first-line CLL treatment. Overall, MRD is a powerful tool to move beyond one-size-fits-all regimens and may become integral in personalizing CLL management across diverse therapeutic regimens.

AI-guided CAR designs and targeted pathway modulation to enhance multi-antigen CAR T cell durability and overcome antigen escape. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
We extended this strategy to develop a trispecific CAR T platform co-expressing a secretable CD3/CD22 bispecific engager, achieving potent tumor eradication even in CD19/CD20-negative malignancies demonstrates efficacy across patient-derived leukemia samples and solid tumor models. Together, our study introduces a next-generation AI-guided CAR T strategy that integrates structure-based optimization and intracellular modulation to improve persistence, broaden antigen coverage, and ensure durable therapeutic efficacy.

Prognostic value of diffusely increased FDG uptake in spleen and/ or bone marrow due to reticuloendothelial system activation in lymphoma patients. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Diffuse splenic FDG uptake strongly correlates with systemic inflammation. The SLR emerged as an independent predictor of progression-free survival in our lymphoma cohort. Diffuse bone marrow uptake may involve non-neoplastic factors and requires comprehensive clinicopathological assessment. This study provides new evidence for PET/CT-guided prognostic evaluation in lymphoma.
