Article Abstract
The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family receptors are expressed on various immune cells and malignant plasma cells in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. In immune cells, most SLAM family molecules bind to themselves to transmit co-stimulatory signals through the recruiting adaptor proteins SLAM-associated protein (SAP) or Ewing's sarcoma-associated transcript 2 (EAT-2), which target immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs in the cytoplasmic regions of the receptors. Notably, SLAMF2, SLAMF3, SLAMF6, and SLAMF7 are strongly and constitutively expressed on MM cells that do not express the adaptor proteins SAP and EAT-2. This review summarizes recent studies on the expression and biological functions of SLAM family receptors during the malignant progression of MM and the resulting preclinical and clinical research involving four SLAM family receptors. A better understanding of the relationship between SLAM family receptors and MM disease progression may lead to the development of novel immunotherapies for relapse prevention.

Introduction: The benefits of attending Recovery Colleges for mental and social wellbeing are well-documented, but the experiences of family carers (roughly 6-11% of students) are underexplored. Family carers report that attending courses supports their own wellbeing and recovery journeys, but also call for greater recognition and relevant provision from Recovery Colleges.
Materials And Methods: This Participatory Action Research project was codesigned by a Family Carers Advisory Group, an academic researcher, and staff at a Recovery College in England.

Background And Aims: In public family law cases ('care proceedings'), many mothers return to proceedings after having a child removed. Substance use disorder (SUD) is a common feature in these cases. We used a linked dataset between SUD treatment services and family court to identify: i) the prevalence and estimated time for returning to care proceedings, ii) the characteristics of mothers who returned, and iii) differences in SUD treatment service use between mothers who returned to care proceedings and those who did not.

Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family receptors are widely expressed on immune cells, often acting as self-ligands and playing crucial roles in cellular communication and adhesion, thereby modulating immune responses. Several studies have demonstrated that SLAM family receptors are associated with potential immune checkpoints on T cells and play a role in tumor immunity in various cancers. However, the effect of SLAMF1 expression in tumors has been rarely investigated.

The Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule (SLAM) family receptors play essential roles in regulating immune cell activation, differentiation, and communication. SLAMF5, also known as CD84, has drawn increasing attention in cancer immunology due to its involvement in both tumor progression and immune modulation. This review explores the expression patterns, signaling mechanisms, and functional roles of SLAMF5/CD84 within the tumor microenvironment.

To discover the molecular features that distinguish cHL, we deployed flow cytometric cell sorting and low-input RNA sequencing to generate full transcriptome data from viable, isolated Hodgkin and Red-Sternberg (HRS) cells from eighteen primary tumors, alongside matched intra-tumoral non-neoplastic B cells and four cell lines. Comparison of HRS cells to normal cellular subsets revealed evidence of abortive plasma cell differentiation, with an unfolded protein response signature, shared with plasma cell neoplasms, but not other B-cell lymphoma types.
