rs6449182 CD38 gene polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction with restriction of products in 328 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and 271 age- and sex-matched controls. An association between GG genotype and CLL risk was found in the whole group of patients (OR=2.12; p=0.009) and in patients with unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain variable genes (OR=2.17; p=0.011) comparing to the controls. In the subgroup of 174 controls with evaluated lipids the genotype distributions in CLL patients and dyslipidemic controls were similar. An association between GG genotype and CLL risk was significant compared to controls without lipids' abnormalities (OR=3.92; p=0.006).

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common digestive cancer in the world. Microsatellite stability (MSS) and microsatellite instability (MSI-high) are important molecular subtypes of CRC closely related to tumor occurrence and progression and immunotherapy efficacy. The presence of CD8 CXCR5 follicular cytotoxic T (T) cells is strongly associated with autoimmune disease and CD8 effector function.

Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal plasmocytes in the bone marrow. Despite advancements with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and CD38-targeting antibodies, MM remains largely incurable due to resistant clones and frequent relapses. The success of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) in MM treatment highlights the critical role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in this disease.

Article Synopsis
- Research on the vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy is limited, particularly for early pregnancy, making it hard to gauge risks for fetal health.
- A study using a 3D endometrial spheroid model found that SARS-CoV-2 can infect both non-decidualized and decidualized spheroids, leading to changes in chemokine levels and gene expression related to immune response.
- The findings suggest that these endometrial spheroids are a valuable model for studying the potential effects and implications of SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission during pregnancy.
