Expansion of IL-2-independent tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes through a feeder-free process: a preclinical study for solid tumors. (PubMed, Cancer Biol Med)
The feasibility of a feeder-free, low-dose IL-2 TIL expansion system was demonstrated. PD-1 blockade significantly enhanced antitumor activity and treatment tolerability, thus supporting its promise as an alternative to high-dose IL-2. HCQ demonstrated potential immunomodulatory effects, although its in vivo benefit was minimal. This strategy warrants further clinical evaluation in solid tumors.

Drugs Associated with Pediatric Cataracts: A Real-World Pharmacovigilance Study. (PubMed, Children (Basel))
Difluprednate showed the highest pharmacovigilance signal (ROR: 963.67; 95% CI: 316.27-2936.31; n = 4). Notably, CFTR modulators exhibited striking signals: ivacaftor (ROR: 30.75; 95% CI: 18.06-52.37; n = 14), elexacaftor-ivacaftor-tezacaftor (ROR: 15.58; 95% CI: 9.86-24.63; n = 19), and ivacaftor-lumacaftor (ROR: 13.2; 95% CI: 7.9-22.07; n = 15). This study provides a comprehensive large-scale pharmacovigilance profile of drug-induced pediatric cataracts, identifying agents with high-risk pharmacovigilance signals and underscoring the need for proactive ocular monitoring. These findings can inform clinical decision making and prevention strategies and guide future mechanistic research.

PANoptosis-triggering GA-based biomimetic nano-prodrug remodels the tumor microenvironment to enhance antitumor immunity. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
CM@pGGH is synthesized by conjugating GA and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-an FDA-approved antimalarial and immunomodulator-to polyglutamic acid (PGA) using disulfide and ester linkages, followed by incorporation of a hybrid membrane derived from tumor cell and macrophage...In vivo, CM@pGGH reprograms the tumor immune microenvironment by repolarizing tumor-associated macrophages to a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and promoting CD8+ T-cell infiltration, resulting in significant PANoptosis-driven immunogenic cell death (ICD) and sustained antitumor immunity. These findings highlight a dual-prodrug and immune-reprogramming strategy with potential for treating refractory cancers.

When Immunosuppression Fails: Cardiac Myxoma Mimicking Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Flare With a Diagnostic Delay. (PubMed, Cureus)
During this period, she received escalating immunosuppression with corticosteroids, mycophenolate, and cyclophosphamide...Immunosuppression was de-escalated to hydroxychloroquine alone with no recurrence at 14-month follow-up...Cardiac myxomas produce IL-6 in the majority of patients (frequency >75%), and systemic constitutional signs are observed in a substantial proportion, though not uniformly. This can produce IL-6-mediated inflammation indistinguishable from autoimmune flares.
