Prospective study of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced hepatitis; characterization of liver injury, outcome of therapy, and management of steroid-unresponsive and steroid-dependent hepatitis. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Nearly half of patients developing ir-hepatitis had an inadequate response to steroids and needed MMF as a secondary immunosuppressant. Patients with mixed DILI were more likely to respond to steroids, while alcohol consumption was associated with inadequate steroid response. Immune analyses showed high T cell infiltration in the liver among patients with ir-hepatitis.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Myocarditis: Risk, Diagnosis, and Clinical Impact. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
For steroid-refractory cases, second-line options include mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and emerging therapies like abatacept and ruxolitinib. ICI-M is a rare yet highly lethal cardiac complication demanding high clinical vigilance and timely diagnosis. Management hinges on an aggressive multidisciplinary approach, aiming to minimize toxicity while balancing oncological efficacy.

Dysgeusia-Driven Nutritional Decline in Cirrhosis: A Case of Autoimmune Hepatitis and Primary Biliary Cholangitis. (PubMed, Cureus)
Dysgeusia began shortly after the initiation of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and led to reduced caloric intake, early satiety, and progressive sarcopenia...The overall clinical picture suggested that dysgeusia-associated malnutrition, likely exacerbated by medication exposure in the context of portal hypertension, contributed substantially to hepatic decompensation. This case underscores the overlooked impact of taste disturbances in cirrhotic patients and highlights the importance of early identification, medication review, and nutritional intervention to mitigate malnutrition-related complications.

Regulatory B cell CCL3 competency promotes disease resolution and oligodendrogenesis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. (PubMed, Commun Biol)
Collectively, these findings identify CCL3 as a non-redundant effector of Breg-mediated protection, acting primarily through peripheral T-cell and myeloid remodeling, with secondary CNS impacts. These results highlight the translational potential of CCL3-competent, spleen-derived GIFT15 Bregs for therapeutic modulation of autoimmune demyelination.
