Published: December 2023

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy emerges as an effective cancer treatment. However, significant safety concerns remain, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and "on-target, off-tumor" cytotoxicity, due to a lack of precise control over conventional CAR-T cell activity. To address this issue, a nano-optogenetic approach has been developed to enable spatiotemporal control of CAR-T cell activity. This system is comprised of synthetic light-sensitive CAR-T cells and upconversion nanoparticles acting as an in situ nanotransducer, allowing near-infrared light to wirelessly control CAR-T cell immunotherapy.

The treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ B-cell ALL) has seen substantial progress over the past two decades. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) has resulted in dramatic improvements in long-term survival. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with its curative potential, has always been an integral part of the treatment algorithm of Ph+ ALL.

December 2024

Backgroud: The introduction of highly active immunotherapies has changed the outcome of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) in the last two decades. Since then, important progress has been shown using newer and more active immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific antobodies, which currently plays a significant role in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), and mantle cell (MCL) lymphoma.

Purpose: In this review, we provide an updated overview of recently completed and ongoing BsAb trials in patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) B-NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma, including single-agent results, emerging combinations, safety data, and novel constructs.

Background/objectives: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative treatment for various hematological diseases but can lead to complications which increase malnutrition risk, particularly in allogeneic transplantation patients. This study evaluates the nutritional status evolution of patients undergoing HCT during hospitalization and follow-up.

Methods: This retrospective observational study included 365 patients, divided into two groups: 134 underwent allogeneic HCT, while 231 underwent autologous transplantation or CAR-T therapy.
