No study has investigated the participation of Ly6C(+) monocytes in the earliest phase of skin infection with the mosquito-borne West Nile virus. In a novel murine model mimicking natural dermal infection, CCL2-dependent bone marrow (BM)-derived monocyte migration, differentiation into Ly6C(+) dendritic cells (DC), and accumulation around dermal deposits of infected fibroblasts by day 1 postinfection were associated with increasing numbers of monocyte-derived TNF/inducible NO synthase-producing DC by day 2 postinfection in draining auricular lymph nodes (ALN). Adoptive transfer demonstrated simultaneous migration of bone marrow-derived Ly6C(lo) monocytes to virus-infected dermis and ALN, where they first become Ly6C(hi) DC within 24 h and then Ly6C(lo) DC by 72 h. DC migration from the infected dermis to the ALN derived exclusively from Ly6C(lo) BM monocytes. This demonstrates that Ly6C(hi) and Ly6C(lo) BM-derived monocytes have different fates in vivo and suggests that BM may be a reservoir of preinflammatory monocytes for rapid deployment as inflammatory DC during virus infection.

Over the last decade significant advances have been made by honing in on the diagnostic evaluation and the significance of molecular profiles in patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM), non-advanced and advanced.This is reflected in the 2022 iterations of the World Health Organization Edition 5 and International Consensus Criteria classifications.The impact of targeted KIT inhibitor therapies on patients treated within global trials has demonstrated significant improvements in the prognosis and overall survival for patients, leading to a change the treatment paradigm.

Anemia is a common consequence of myelofibrosis. The treatment of myelofibrosis-associated anemia is complicated by a multifactorial pathobiology, as well as a lack of therapies that result in normalization of the bone marrow and complete restoration of its function. Established agents that are used to treat anemia in other bone marrow failure states such as myelodysplastic syndromes and aplastic anemia, are used for the treatment of myelofibrosis-associated anemia.

The biology centered around the TGF-beta type I receptor Activin Receptor-Like Kinase (ALK)1 (encoded by ACVRL1) has been almost exclusively based on its reported endothelial expression pattern since its first functional characterization more than two decades ago. Here, in efforts to better define the therapeutic context in which to use ALK1 inhibitors, we uncover a population of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that, by virtue of their unanticipated Acvrl1 expression, are effector targets for adjuvant anti-angiogenic immunotherapy in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer. The combinatorial benefit depended on ALK1-mediated modulation of the differentiation potential of bone marrow-derived granulocyte-macrophage progenitors, the release of CD14+ monocytes into circulation, and their eventual extravasation.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in children. While the majority of patients survive with conventional treatment, chemotherapeutic agents have adverse effects and the potential for relapse persists even after full recovery. Given their pivotal function in anti-cancer immunity, there has been a surge in research exploring the potential of natural killer (NK) cells in immunotherapy, which has emerged as a promising avenue for treating leukemia.

Purpose: Despite advances in the treatment of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), relapse remains the most significant challenge in improving prognosis. Measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment can predict bone marrow relapse based on MRD positivity. As access to innovative therapies remains limited because of the high cost, chemotherapy is the widely utilized treatment option.
