Immune monitoring of cell therapies is a complex and evolving topic, particularly in the rapid expanding field of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell applications. Defining essential, recommended, and optional immune monitoring data post-CAR-T cell infusion is crucial to improve patient outcomes and inform post-treatment decisions. To address this gap, we conducted a survey-based study across centers affiliated with the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), focusing on patients treated with European Medicines Agency (EMA)-approved CAR-T products.

Here, we characterized the innate immune cell landscape in inflamed mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) at the single-cell level.
Methods: Surgically resected colonic MLNs were obtained from patients with Crohn's disease (CD; n = 3), ulcerative colitis (UC; n = 3), non-inflamed UC (n = 1), and non-IBD (n = 2).
Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) is often cured with dose-dense anthracycline-based regimens but the prognosis at relapse or progression remains poor. While anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy has dramatically improved outcomes in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, far less is known about their efficacy in PMBL. Using the systematic record of all patients treated with CAR-T cells prospectively included in the DESCAR-T registry in France, along with centrally reviewed positon-emission tomography (PET) imaging, we describe the outcomes and key determinants of treatment success in PMBL patients treated over a 6-year period.

Considering the problems of excessive use of antibiotics, it is necessary to find new strategies to control this pathogen. Antivirulence therapy is an alternative to reduce the virulence of pathogens without affecting their growth.
