Interactions between germinal center B cells and immune cells in the microenvironment can play integral roles in transformation and growth of follicular lymphoma (FL). Three recent studies, two in this issue of Cancer Cell and one in Cell Reports, elucidate how genetic alterations in CTSS and EZH2 impact these interactions, with implications for FL immunotherapy.

Psoriasis is a multifactorial immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Its pathogenesis involves abnormal accumulation of neutrophils and T-cell-related abnormalities. Pyroptosis is a type of regulated cell death associated with innate immunity, but its role in psoriasis is unclear.

This study aims to couple C-reactive protein (CRP) antibodies onto latex spheres of 2 different sizes to enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of CRP detection. Furthermore, it seeks to establish a robust methodological framework crucial for advancing the development of latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric detection reagents. CRP, an acute-phase protein, rapidly elevates in response to infections or tissue damage.

The STK11 gene mutation is a common genetic alteration in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is significantly associated with poor responses to current immunotherapy regimens. Despite its prevalence, there is currently no established standard for front-line treatment in this subtype of NSCLC, underscoring the increasing need for personalized therapeutic strategies. In this report, we present a case of a patient with STK11-mutant NSCLC who was treated with first-line cadonilimab (10mg/kg) in combination with pemetrexed (500mg/m^2) plus carboplatin (AUC=5), resulting in a notable extension of progression-free survival (PFS).

Background And Objective: The role of genetic variants in response to systemic therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is still elusive. We assessed variations in genes involved in DNA damage repair (DDR) before and after cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and correlation of alteration patterns with DNA damage and response to therapy.
Methods: Matched tissue from 46 patients with MIBC was investigated via Ion Torrent-based next-generation sequencing using a self-designed panel of 30 DDR genes.
Shrub encroachment can alter the structure and function of grassland ecosystems, leading to their degradation. Therefore, population regeneration dynamics after shrub encroachment on the influence of grassland should not be ignored. , as a pioneer species, has significantly encroached with large areas on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) due to climate change and over-grazing.
