Article Abstract

Deciphering the evolution of cancer cells under therapeutic pressure is a crucial step to understand the mechanisms that lead to treatment resistance. To this end, we analyzed whole-exome sequencing data of eight chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients that developed resistance upon BCL2-inhibition by venetoclax. Here, we report recurrent mutations in BTG1 (2 patients) and homozygous deletions affecting CDKN2A/B (3 patients) that developed during treatment, as well as a mutation in BRAF and a high-level focal amplification of CD274 (PD-L1) that might pinpoint molecular aberrations offering structures for further therapeutic interventions.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), the most prevalent primary glomerulonephritis globally, is characterized by mesangial IgA deposition and heterogeneous clinical trajectories. Historically, management relied on renin-angiotensin system inhibition and empirical immunosuppression, yet high lifetime kidney failure risk persists despite optimized care. This review synthesizes advances in molecular pathogenesis, highlighting how the traditional multi-hit hypothesis-while foundational for targeted therapy development-fails to capture IgAN's recurrent, self-amplifying nature.

IGL::CCND1 detected by optical genome mapping revises diagnosis of a B-cell lymphoma.

Am J Clin Pathol

September 2025

Laboratory for Clinical Genomics and Advanced Technology (CGAT)-Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH, United States.

Objective: Differentiating between the repertoire of immunoglobulin rearrangements is important in guiding diagnoses and management of B-cell lymphoma processes. A subset of these disease entities, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), can show distinct genomic profiles with a shared cell of origin. In this report, we describe a rare case in which differentiating between the immunoglobulin family of rearrangements (IGH, IGK, IGL) with optical genome mapping (OGM) helped revise the clinical suspicion of CLL.

Background: The CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has potential clinical value as a novel marker integrating inflammatory, nutritional and immune status in the development of colorectal polyps. This study examined whether gender factors influence the association between CALLY and colorectal polyps; in addition to elucidating whether metabolic pathways mediate this relationship.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 5409 adult health screening participants who completed colonoscopy.

The Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes on the Attenuation of Dry Eye Disease in Sjögren Syndrome Animal Model.

Tissue Eng Regen Med

September 2025

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, #505 BanPo-Dong, SeoCho-Gu, Seoul, 06591, Republic of Korea.

Background: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease delineated by excessive lymphocyte infiltration to the lacrimal or salivary glands, leading to dry eye and dry mouth. Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to have anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration abilities. This study endeavored to demonstrate the effect of MSC-derived exosomes on the clinical parameter of dry eyes and associated pathology in SS mouse model.

Objective: To evaluate clinical and laboratory effectiveness of ultrasound treatment for purulent wounds.

Material And Methods: The study enrolled 46 patients with purulent wounds divided into the main group (23 patients, ultrasonic treatment) and the control group (23 patients, traditional treatment). We assessed treatment effectiveness considering visual data, quality of granulation tissue, wound defect area and marginal epithelialization, complete blood count and C-reactive protein.
