Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Although the R-CHOP regimen effectively cures 60-70% of patients, 30-40% of patients relapse or develop resistance, highlighting the need for new biomarkers to improve prognosis and therapeutic strategies...Our findings suggest that the SREBF2-ACOT7 axis plays a critical role in DLBCL by promoting tumor cell growth, invasion, and survival. ACOT7 could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for DLBCL, providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms of this aggressive lymphoma.

The patient was given R-CHOP chemotherapy and intrathecal methotrexate with a favorable early response...Image-guided biopsy and immunophenotyping at an early stage are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and guide appropriate therapy. Individualized and risk-adapted approaches are crucial in maximizing the outcome in such aggressive and rare presentations.

Secondary endpoints include patient-reported quality of life (FACIT-Fatigue scale), response rate at 3 months posttreatment (Lugano criteria), local control, relapse-free survival, and overall survival. Exploratory analyses will evaluate financial toxicity (COST-FACIT questionnaire), health care expenditure, late toxicity, and the prognostic value of preradiation metabolic imaging parameters, including metabolic tumor volume, total lesion glycolysis, and maximum standardized uptake value, as well as molecular biomarkers such as TP53, MYC, and Ki-67.

Mechanistically, we show that 1α,25(OH) 2D 3 upregulates the expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), promoting transcriptional reprogramming associated with memory-like differentiation and downregulation of exhaustion-related genes, thereby reshaping the functional heterogeneity of CAR-T cells under tumor stimulation. Our study highlights 1α,25(OH) 2D 3 supplementation as a safe and accessible approach to mitigate terminal differentiation and exhaustion of CAR-T cells, offering a promising strategy to enhance the clinical efficacy of CAR-T therapy in patients with R/R DLBCL.

This risk-adapted approach reflects a paradigm shift in MCL management, emphasizing the need for early molecular risk assessment to guide treatment decisions. In this scenario, TP53 mutations are no longer supporting actors, but a game-changer for the prognosis and treatment of patients with MCL.

ACC and DLBC shared a consensus expression program, whereas STAD diverged; chromatin analysis showed AP-2 motifs near microbe-responsive genes in ACC and DLBC but not STAD, supporting cohort-specific regulation. Collectively, AP-2 family members emerge as plausible mediators of tumor microbiota-host interplay, warranting further mechanistic and translational research.

Forty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups: sham operation, Rt.MCAO + vehicle, Rt.MCAO + piracetam (250 mg/kg BW), and Rt.MCAO + alpinetin (100 mg/kg BW)...It also attenuated p38 MAPK activation and preserved mitochondrial integrity by mitigating the decline in Mfn2 levels. Overall, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of alpinetin in targeting multiple pathological processes involved in ischemic brain injury, supporting its promise as an effective treatment for stroke.

Interestingly, measuring intratumoral FAP levels revealed an inverse pattern, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma showing higher tissue FAP localization compared with follicular lymphoma (p < 0.001). These findings provide new insights into the biological and clinical significance of FAP in lymphoid malignancies, particularly highlighting the importance of sFAP activity as a potential prognostic marker in aggressive lymphoid malignancies.

The condition was refractory to initial methotrexate and isotretinoin therapy. We report a rare and clinically challenging case of RDD diagnosed with the aid of histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we emphasize the role of a combined approach of serial surgical excisions and systemic dapsone therapy.

SULT1C2P1 and KCNK5 emerged as M1-associated prognostic biomarkers. Our findings establish EBV as a key modulator of BL genomic instability and immune remodeling, leading us to hypothesize that EBV status defines distinct BL subtypes with unique therapeutic vulnerabilities, thereby enabling the future development of EBV-stratified precision therapies.
