Unveiling <i>DENND2D</i> as a Novel Prognostic Biomarker for Prostate Cancer Recurrence: From Gene to Prognosis by Chi-Fen Chang, Lih-Chyang Chen, Yei-Tsung Chen, Chao-Yuan Huang, Chia-Cheng Yu, Victor C. Lin, Te-Ling Lu, Shu-Pin Huang, Bo-Ying Bao

“…<b>Background:</b> Prostate cancer is a major global health burden, with biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy affecting 20–40% of patients and posing significant challenges to prognosis and treatment. Emerging evidence suggests a critical role for differentially expressed in normal and neoplastic cell (<i>DENN</i>) domain-containing genes in oncogenesis; however, their implications in prostate cancer and BCR risk remain underexplored. …”

CD4 CAR-T cells targeting CD19 play a key role in exacerbating cytokine release syndrome, while maintaining long-term responses by Alice Bergamini, Barbara Camisa, Attilio Bondanza, Fabio Ciceri, Chiara Bonini, Monica Casucci, Beatrice Greco, Camilla Bove, Silvia Arcangeli, Laura Falcone, Rita El Khoury, Anna De Lucia

“…Interestingly, the combination of CD4.BBz with CD8.28z CAR-T cells resulted in the lowest toxicity, without impacting antitumor efficacy.Conclusions Taken together, these data point out that the rational design of improved adoptive T-cell therapies should consider the biological features of CD4 CAR-T cells, which emerged as crucial for maintaining long-term responses but also endowed by a higher toxic potential.…”
