Here we report red blood cell (RBC) transfusion response analysis based on somatic mutations profile and disease risk for patients treated with luspatercept or epoetin alfa in the COMMANDS trial. Luspatercept represents an effective treatment option in various mutational backgrounds in LR MDS. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03682536.

This dynamic network, constructed by Schiff base crosslinking between carboxymethyl chitosan and aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid, was utilized for the co-delivery of pirfenidone (PFD) and manganese-curcumin nanoparticles (MC)...This coordinated cascade elicits robust T-cell activation and cytokine secretion, achieving near-complete tumor eradication in murine melanoma models. Overall, this study establishes a therapeutic paradigm that integrates stromal barrier modulation with immune activation to achieve more effective tumor treatment.
Two peptide-based ligand traps have recently received clinical approval: luspatercept [ActRIIB-Fc], an erythroid maturation agent, and sotatercept [ActRIIA-Fc], a novel therapeutic agent for pulmonary arterial hypertension [PAH]. Although both agents have failed to increase skeletal muscle mass in clinical trials consistently, they represent significant advances in the treatment of hematopoietic and vascular disorders. Future studies should focus on optimal dosing strategies, long-term safety, and potential synergistic effects when combined with other therapeutic modalities.
