Improving outcomes for people with rare diseases is a major challenge, but it is possible. Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of rare disorders in which amyloid (misfolded protein deposits) accumulates in the tissues, causing progressive organ failure. Until recently, it was a

The treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia has undergone a revolution in the past decade. Highly effective targeted therapies have shifted the treatment paradigm from continuous disease control towards fixed-duration combination approaches capable of inducing deep a
Open articleHematology
In patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, PVR showed significant improvement in progression-free survival compared with VR, with consistent results in patients who had previously received covalent BTK inhibitors and no new safety signals. To our knowledge

Once rapidly fatal, neglected, and orphan diseases without approved therapeutic options, systemic amyloidoses are now highly treatable. Basic scientific discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms of transthyretin misfolding and aggregation have driven the development of drugs

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are typically administered at high doses to maximize durable clinical responses. However, manufacturing constraints can limit the production of sufficient cells to achieve the intended dose. Although some patients experience durabl

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality after haploidentical haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor with established activity in steroid-refractory GVHD, has shown promise fo

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on hemoglobin levels and anemia in the pediatric population. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs). PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL were searched up to Augu

Exogenous ketosis may stimulate erythropoietin (EPO), yet its impact on erythropoiesis, iron metabolism, and potential sex-specific responses in humans remains unknown. We investigated these effects in healthy adults using oral β-hydroxybutyrate ketone monoester (KE) to induce in

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is an established treatment for several hematological malignancies, with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) serving as the starting material for manufacturing. Cryopreservation of PBMCs may offer logistical flexibility, alt

The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of comorbidities among patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) by pooling results from 28 studies and 71,400 patients. In conducting this research, the authors observed that individuals wi

To investigate the efficacy and safety of MTBF as conditioning regimen for salvage allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). We conducted a single-arm prospective clinical trial (NCT063

Orelabrutinib is a potent, irreversible, and highly-selective BTK inhibitor that has been approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). This randomized, phase 3 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT045786

Naturally occurring tumor-specific T cells derived from peripheral blood (PB) offer a clinically accessible source for adoptive immunotherapy. However, the expansion of these T cells from patients with cancer remains a challenge. We hypothesized that mimicking innate immune activ

Assessments of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell pharmacokinetics by flow cytometry (FC) and a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay were compared in adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) following treatment with obecabtagene a
Open articleHematology
Autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is effective in relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), but its clinical application is restricted by manufacturing failures, high costs, and limited accessibility. Gene-edited allogeneic CA

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressive malignancy with poor prognosis. To date, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in AML has been limited by the lack of antigens with high specificity for AML cells. Here, we developed a synthetic T-cell receptor and an
Open articleHematology
Traditional manufacturing of B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies is prolonged, leading to reduced patient access, T cell exhaustion, and consequently limiting therapeutic efficacy. To address this issue, we developed durcabta

The optimal regimens for older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remain uncertain. The authors conducted a multicenter phase 2 trial to evaluate the novel venetoclax, fl

Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation delivers augmented doses of radiation to the bone marrow and lymph nodes while maintaining low doses to vital organs. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (2000 cGy to bone marrow and lymph n

Long-duration space missions expose astronauts to microgravity, radiation, confinement, fluid redistribution, and circadian disruption, which together induce physiological adaptations, including cardiovascular hemodynamics. Emerging evidence suggests that spaceflight may modulate

Hematological malignancies including leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes, are characterized by clonal proliferation of abnormal blood or bone marrow cells. Early and accurate detection is essential for improving treatment outcomes and survival. Automated hematology

Eltrombopag is an effective second-line therapy for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but its long-term efficacy is limited. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has immunomodulatory effects targeting ITP pathophysiology. We investigated whether combining ATRA with eltrombopag improves lo
