Article Abstract
We discovered T-cell clonal expansions in benign prostatic hyperplasia, indicative of a specific adaptive immune response and with implications for disease pathogenesis and new treatments.

Clonal Hematopoiesis in Nonmalignant Disease: Functional Consequences of Mutated Immune Cells by Clonal Hematopoiesis in the Diseased Tissue.
Annu Rev Pathol
September 2025
3Department of Pathology, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA;
Clonal hematopoiesis, originally identified as a precursor to hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a significant factor in various nonmalignant diseases. Recent research highlights how somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the expansion of circulating mutated immune cells that exert profound effects on organ function and disease progression. These mutated clones display altered inflammatory profiles and tissue-specific functional consequences, contributing to various diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, heart failure, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a heritable syndrome characterized by DNA damage repair deficits, frequent malformations and a significantly elevated risk of bone marrow failure, leukemia, and mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy can prevent marrow failure and lower leukemia risk, but mucosal gene therapy to lower HNSCC risk remains untested. Major knowledge gaps include an incomplete understanding of how rapidly gene-corrected cellular lineages could spread through the oral epithelium, and which delivery parameters are critical for ensuring efficient gene correction.

The colon exhibits higher propensity for tumour development than ileum. However, the role of immune microenvironment differences in driving this disparity remains unclear. Here, by comparing paired ileum and colon samples from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and healthy donors, we identified ileum-enriched CD160CD8 T cells with previously unrecognized characteristics, including resistance to terminal exhaustion and strong clonal expansion.

Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge on these organisms' impact on global health is very limited. The genera Blastocystis, Dientamoeba, Entamoeba, Endolimax and Iodamoeba comprise CLIPPs species, the life cycles of which, as opposed to single-celled pathogenic intestinal parasites (e.

Somatic mutations in several genes, including key oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes, are present from early life and can accumulate as an individual ages, indicating that the potential for cancer is present and growing throughout life. However, the risk of developing cancer rises sharply after 50-60 years of age, suggesting that the ability of these mutations to undergo clonal expansion and drive cancer development is dependent on the progressive changes in the epigenome and microenvironment that occur during ageing. Epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, can drive various hallmarks of ageing in precancerous cells, including induction of senescence, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, genomic instability and reduction of nuclear integrity, metabolic and inflammatory stress responses, stem cell function and differentiation potential, and redox balance.
