Article Abstract

Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma have a dismal prognosis in need of innovative treatments. This prospective phase 2 study enrolled 32 patients between 2013 and 2017 with Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma treated with Rituximab and Lenalidomide (R2). Median age was 69 years (40-86), 90.1% had received at least 2 prior lines of treatment, 81% were defined as having High Risk disease according to our criteria and ECOG performance status was > 2 in 51.6%. Patients received a median number of 2 cycles of R2 (1-12). With a median follow up of 22.6 months, the objective response rate was 12.5%. Median progression free survival was 2.6 months (95% CI, [1.7-2.9]) and median overall survival was 9.3 months (95% CI, [5.1-Not estimable]). This study therefore did not achieve its primary endpoint and the R2 regimen cannot be recommended in Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma patients with High Risk features.

We report 35 patients who had a leukemic phase of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma/high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements, also known as double-hit lymphoma (DHL). There were 23 men and 12 women with a median age of 57 years (range, 29-82). Eight patients had an established DHL diagnosis and later developed a leukemic phase of disease and 27 presented with DHL and a leukemic phase of disease at initial diagnosis.

Primary bladder diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A rare case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

September 2025

Department of Urology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Kunming Medical University, Yunnan Province, China. Electronic address:

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), originates primarily from lymph nodes, with a small proportion arising extranodally in sites such as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Given the general absence of lymphoid tissue in the bladder, primary bladder DLBCL is exceptionally rare.

Case Presentation: This case report describes an 83-year-old male patient with a bladder mass, initially suspected as cystitis glandularis, ultimately diagnosed via pathological examination as DLBCL.

Introduction And Importance: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, yet primary renal involvement is rare, constituting less than 1 % of renal malignancies. A case of non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) DLBCL with BCL-6 positivity is particularly unique. Conventionally, BCL-6 is linked to germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtypes.

Why transport matters: an update on carrier proteins in Apicomplexan parasites.

Curr Opin Microbiol

September 2025

Cryptosporidiosis Laboratory, The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom. Electronic address:

The movement of molecules across the membranous barriers of a cell is fundamental to cellular homeostasis in every living organism. This vital process is facilitated through a mechanistically diverse class of proteins, collectively known as membrane transporters. Among these are so-called carrier proteins that can function in passive and active transport mechanisms.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a valuable platform for manipulating and studying chemical reactions at the atomic level, owing to the ease of controlling their microscopic structure at the nanometer scale. While extensive research has been conducted on the structure-dependent chemical activity of 2D materials, the influence of structural transformation during the reaction has remained largely unexplored. In this work, we report the layer-dependent chemical reactivity of MoS during a nitridation atomic substitution reaction and attribute it to the rearrangement of Mo atoms.
