A Rare Lymphoproliferative Disease: Castleman Disease
Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disease also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. It is classified as hyaline vascular and plasmacytic variants histologically but characteristics of both types can coexist. Most unicentric cases of the disease are hyaline vascular while most multicentric cases are of the plasmacytic type ...

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.
