Cellular Signaling in Müller Glia: Progenitor Cells for Regenerative and Neuroprotective Responses in Pharmacological Models of Retinal Degeneration by Yang Liu, Chenguang Wang, Guanfang Su

“…Stimulating intrinsic neuronal regeneration is a potential approach to therapy in retinal degenerative diseases. In contrast to stem cells, as embryonic/pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal progenitor cell or mesenchymal stem cells, Müller glia provided an endogenous cellular source for regenerative therapy in the retina. …”

A Novel In Situ Dendritic Cell Vaccine Triggered by Rose Bengal Enhances Adaptive Antitumour Immunity by Lanlin Zhang, Jiangyuan Du, Qian Song, Chufan Zhang, Xianghua Wu

“…The results showed that intralesional RB-iDCs suppressed subcutaneous tumour growth and lung metastasis, which resulted in 100% mouse survival and significantly increased TNF-α production by CD8+ T cells. These effects were closely related to the induction of the expression of distinct ICD hallmarks by RB in both bulk cancer cells and cancer stem cells (CSCs), especially calreticulin (CRT), thus enhancing immune effector cell (i.e., CD4+, CD8+, and memory T cells) infiltration and attenuating the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells (i.e., Tregs, macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs)) in the TME. …”

Real-world outcomes with tisagenlecleucel in aggressive B-cell lymphoma: subgroup analyses from the CIBMTR registry by Frederick L Locke, Grant Schofield, Marcelo Pasquini, Matthew J Frigault, Cameron J Turtle, Stephen Lim, Brian Hill, Samantha Jaglowski, Caron A Jacobson, Gunjan Shah, Daniel J Landsburg, Michael Heim, Stephen Ronan Foley, Ron Ram, Peter A Riedell, Leslie L Popplewell, Ranjan Tiwari, Marta Majdan, Aisha Masood

“…Patients with DLBCL (vs HGBCL), complete response before infusion, prior autologous or allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) within normal limits experienced more favourable efficacy outcomes, and those with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≥2, ≥3 prior lines of therapy, elevated LDH and fludarabine-based lymphodepleting chemotherapy experienced less favourable safety outcomes.Conclusions This real-world study of tisagenlecleucel for patients with R/R DLBCL/HGBCL shows consistent efficacy and better safety outcomes than the pivotal trial. …”
