Targeting the CXCR4 pathway using a novel anti-CXCR4 IgG1 antibody (PF-06747143) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. [PDF]
BackgroundThe CXCR4-CXCL12 axis plays an important role in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-microenvironment interaction. Overexpression of CXCR4 has been reported in different hematological malignancies including CLL.

CD86, the double agent: Significance of CD86 expression in B-cell malignancies. [PDF]
Abstract Bypassing the anti‐tumor functions of the immune system is one of the keys to tumor survival. Tumors, especially hematological tumors, produce or express factors that retune T and B cells to inhibit the immune response. Coreceptors CD28 and CTLA‐4, and their ligands, CD80 and CD86, are involved in the immunological synapse and play an ...

Cobimetinib and trametinib inhibit platelet MEK but do not cause platelet dysfunction [PDF]
The MEK inhibitors cobimetinib and trametinib are used in combination with BRAF inhibitors to treat metastatic melanoma but increase rates of hemorrhage relative to BRAF inhibitors alone.

Efficacy of ibrutinib in a patient with transformed lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and central nervous system involvement [PDF]
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a non-receptor kinase that plays a crucial role in oncogenic signaling that is critical for proliferation and survival of leukemic cells in many B cell malignancies. BTK was initially shown to be defective in the primary

Ibrutinib: From Molecule to Medicine
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor Ibrutinib (PCI-32765) is a novel targeted-therapeutic agent modulating BCR, which serves as a covalent irreversible inhibitor of BTK. Ibrutinib significantly alters the composition of the tumor microenvironment in CLL, affecting soluble as well as cellular molecular elements without myelosupression. Ibrutinib is

In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Targeting Brutons Tyrosine Kinase in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia at the Crossroad between Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pro-survival Signals [PDF]
Chemo immunotherapies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) showed a positive impact on clinical outcome, but many patients relapsed or become refractory to the available treatments.

Single‐cell insights into the role of T cells in B‐cell malignancies
Single‐cell technologies have transformed our understanding of T cell–tumor cell interactions in B‐cell malignancies, revealing new T‐cell subsets, functional states, and immune evasion mechanisms. This Review synthesizes these findings, highlighting the roles of T cells in pathogenesis, progression, and therapy response, and underscoring their ...
