Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a prevalent indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) characterized by a relapsing course and eventual refractoriness to therapy. Despite advancements in treatment, FL remains incurable, necessitating ongoing research into novel therapeutic strategies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current standard treatments for relapsed or refractory (R/R) FL, including chemoimmunotherapy and stem cell transplantation, and delves into emerging therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies.

However, the limited number of suitable donors compared with the growing number of patients requiring LT remains a leading cause of mortality among those on the waiting list. This has resulted in the expansion of criteria for donor eligibility.

To test these protocols, the large Pinnidae , which shares similar habits to , has been used. In December 2022, a transport trial of nine specimens of from Trieste (NE Italy) to Camogli (NW Italy) was carried out.

The ability of RSV to provide beneficial effects for neurological, cardiovascular, and cancer disorders rekindled the interest to explore the molecular mechanisms behind its pleiotropic effects, which are due to the modulation of coding and noncoding genes involved in many key biological pathways. With a computational approach, including docking studies and thermodynamics calculations followed by 200-ns-long molecular dynamics and a clustering analysis, we hypothesized the stabilizing binding between RSV and G4 structures of telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA), which is a tumor-suppressive long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) involved in the regulation of telomere maintenance.
