IGLV3-21-directed bispecific antibodies activate T cells and promote killing in a high-risk subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

We previously used a disease-specific B cell receptor (BCR) point mutation (IGLV3-21R110) for selective targeting of a high-risk subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Since CLL is a disease of the elderly and a significant fraction of patients is not able to physically tolerate CAR T cell treatment, we explored bispecific antibodies as an alternative for precision targeting of this tumor mutation. Heterodimeric IgG1-based antibodies consisting of a fragment crystallizable region (Fc) attached to both an anti-IGLV3-21R110 Fab and an anti-CD3 (UCHT1) single chain variable fragment (R110-bsAb) selectively killed cell lines engineered to express high levels of the neoepitope as well as primary CLL cells using healthy donor and CLL patient-derived T cells as effectors.

Introduction: Trousseau syndrome (TS) represents a significant vascular thromboembolic event in cancer patients and has progressively gained attention as a critical clinical concern in recent years. The aim of this study is to investigate the survival status and prognostic factors in patients with TS whose initial clinical manifestation was acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 TS patients hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University between 2018 and 2024.

Loss of Skeletal Muscle Mass Is Associated With Reduced Cytotoxic T Cell Abundance and Poor Survival in Advanced Lung Cancer.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle

October 2025

Department of Surgery, NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Background: Body composition alterations such as skeletal muscle (SM) loss in cancer patients are associated with poor survival. In turn, immune cell-driven pathways have been linked to muscle wasting. We aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and survival in patients with advanced lung cancer.

High radon levels in the environment can lead to adverse biological effects such as DNA damage, thereby increasing cancer risk, especially lung cancer. This study focused on Tande-Tande sub-village in Mamuju, West Sulawesi, Indonesia, an area known for naturally high indoor radon concentrations, where inhabitants have been chronically exposed to radon throughout their lives. Blood samples from 38 subjects in Tande-Tande sub-village and the control area, Topoyo village, were examined.

Evaluating Amino Acid Profiles and Blood Gas Concentrations Between Single and Twin Merino Newborn Lambs.

September 2025

Davies Livestock Research Centre, School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Roseworthy, South Australia, Australia.

As sheep production standards progress, and animals are bred for high production in terms of the number and weight of lambs weaned per ewe, research has identified a difference in the physiology of single lambs compared to multiple born lambs. The current study aimed to report the baseline amino acid (AA) profiles and blood gas concentrations in newborn, Merino single and twin lambs. From 120 days of gestation, 50 single-bearing and 50 twin-bearing, naturally mated Merino ewes were monitored for signs of approaching parturition.
