CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells have changed the treatment paradigm of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Three CAR T-cells were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) LBCL in the third-line setting: tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel), axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), and lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), with an ORR ranging from 58% to 82%. More recently, axi-cel and liso-cel were approved as second-line treatments for patients with R/R disease up to 12 months after the completion of first-line chemo-immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Graphene is a special material made of carbon atoms and could be useful in medicine, but we need to check how safe it is for living things.
  • We compared two ways to make graphene: one method (sonication) gave us more toxic graphene, while the other method (microfluidization) produced safer graphene.
  • In tests with blood and zebrafish larvae, we found that sonicated graphene was much more harmful than microfluidized graphene, which was less toxic and caused fewer changes in immune cell behavior.
