Combining Nilotinib and PD-L1 Blockade Reverses CD4+ T Cell Dysfunction and Prevents Relapse in Acute B-cell Leukemia

[Blood] Single-cell RNA-sequence analysis revealed that B-ALL induces a unique subset of CD4+ T cells with both cytotoxic and helper functions.

Predictive Factors and Outcomes After Allogeneic Stem-Cell Transplantation for Adults with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Brazil

[Transplantation and Cellular Therapy ] Investigators described outcomes and examine risk factors for overall survival, leukemia-free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, non-relapse mortality and graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Brazilian centers.

B Cell Antigen Receptor Expression and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Signaling Regulate Genesis and Maintenance of Mouse Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

[Haematologica] By ablating the B cell antigen receptor in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells from TCL1 transgenic mice, the authors showed that CLL cells cannot survive without BCR signaling and are lost within eight weeks in diseased mice.

Sorting Nexin 24 Is Required for α-Granule Biogenesis and Cargo Delivery in Megakaryocytes

[Haematologica] The authors investigated whether the genes showing abnormal expression in FLI1-deficient platelets could be involved in platelet α-granule biogenesis by undertaking transcriptome analysis of control platelets and platelets harboring a DNA-binding variant of FLI1.

Platelet-Inspired Intravenous Nanomedicine for Injury-Targeted Direct Delivery of Thrombin to Augment Hemostasis in Coagulopathies

[ACS Nano] Scientists reported on the design and evaluation of thrombin-loaded injury-site-targeted lipid nanoparticles that could specifically localize at an injury site via platelet-mimetic anchorage to the von Willebrand factor and collagen.

Fate Mapping of Hematopoietic Stem Cells Reveals Two Pathways of Native Thrombopoiesis

[Nature Communications] Researchers chart native lineage pathways emanating from HSCs and define their physiological regulation by computationally integrating experimental approaches for fate mapping, mitotic tracking, and single-cell RNA sequencing.

Candida Albicans Synergizes with Fusobacterium Nucleatum in Colorectal Cancer Progression via the Flo9-RadD Interaction

[Cancer Cell] Researchers discovered that the commensal fungus Candida albicans synergizes with Fusobacterium nucleatum to promote colorectal cancer pathogenesis and contributes to poor patient outcomes.

A High-MAPK, Low-WNT Cell State Drives Metastatic Dissemination in Colorectal Cancer

[Nature Cancer] Using serial in vivo orthotopic passaging, investigators developed an immunocompetent mouse model of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Cannabidiol Triggers Fatty Acids β-oxidation Mediated by Stat2 to Facilitate Intestinal Stem Cells Regeneration Post Radiation

[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] Cannabidiol-a nonpsychotomimetic phytocannabinoid derived from the Cannabis sativa plant-was found to dramatically improve body weight loss of mice and stimulate Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells proliferation upon a lethal dose of irradiation.
