Type I Interferon Pathway Activation Disrupts Monocyte Maturation and Enhances Immune Evasion in Multiple Myeloma. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study shows that monocytes in multiple myeloma display an excessive interferon response, leading to transcriptional reprogramming and altered differentiation. Using single‐cell sequencing, coculture experiments, and patient samples before and after therapy, the authors demonstrate that induction treatment reduces this interferon response ...
