Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an uncommon chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disease with an indolent course. It mainly occurs in elderly men, although abdominal lymphadenopathy is rare. HCL cells are mostly found in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and spleen and typically express CD11c, CD20, CD25 and CD103. We present a case of HCL with a novel immunophenotype. A 48-year-old woman presented with pancytopenia and splenomegaly. The diagnosis was HCL with lymph node infiltration. Unlike previously described HCL cases, the current case showed strong expression of CD5 and cyclin D1 in the lymph nodes. The patient underwent cladribine chemotherapy, and the leukocyte count increased during and after treatment. The 8-month follow-up revealed that she had recovered well. This case highlights the distinctive immunophenotype of HCL infiltrating the lymph nodes and the potential misdiagnosis of HCL as mantle cell lymphoma. It also adds to our limited understanding of HCL.

Soybean (Glycine max) is a leguminous crop cultivated worldwide that accumulates high levels of isoflavones. Although previous research has often focused on increasing the soybean isoflavone content because of the estrogen-like activity of dietary soy in humans, the rapidly increasing demand for soybean as a plant-based meat substitute has raised concerns about excessive isoflavone intake. Therefore, the production of isoflavone-free soybean has been anticipated.

Proteomics has become a powerful approach for the identification and characterization of type III effectors (T3Es). Members of the species complex (RSSC) deploy T3Es to manipulate host cells and to promote root infection of, among others, a wide range of solanaceous plants such as tomato, potato, and tobacco. Here, we used TurboID-mediated proximity labeling (PL) in tomato hairy root cultures to explore the proxeomes of the core RSSC T3Es RipU, RipD, and RipB.

The study aimed to elucidate the underlying pharmacological mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicine Pue in ameliorating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), a critical clinical challenge exacerbated by reperfusion therapy. In vivo MIRI and in vitro anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) models were constructed. The results demonstrated that Pue pretreatment effectively alleviated MIRI, as manifested by diminishing the levels of serum CK-MB and LDH, mitigating the extent of myocardial infarction and enhancing cardiac functionality.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) has a favorable clinical outcome with appropriate treatment; however, further research is needed on managing patients with relapsed or refractory disease and the risk of infection during prolonged periods. This study examined the long-term effects of 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA), particularly using a weekly infusion protocol, in treatment-naïve patients with HCL. This retrospective study evaluated the long-term follow-up data from 21 South Korean patients diagnosed with HCL.
