Article Abstract
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a highly heterogeneous tumor. Although targeted therapies such as Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors have significantly improved patient outcomes in CLL, the disease remains incurable. A critical aspect of CLL progression is its transformation from an indolent tumor to a high-grade malignancy, a process known as Richter's Transformation (RT) or Richter Syndrome. Treatment options for RT are very limited, and patient prognosis is often poor. The molecular mechanisms driving RT are not yet fully elucidated. This review aims to summarize recent advances in research aimed at uncovering the mechanisms underlying RT in CLL. By integrating findings from genetics, signaling pathways, epigenetics, and the tumor microenvironment, this review seeks to provide insights that could guide further basic research into RT and inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.

During heart disease, the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes a structural and mechanical transformation. Cardiomyocytes sense the mechanical properties of their environment, leading to phenotypic remodeling. A critical component of the ECM mechanosensing machinery, including the protein talin, is organized at the cardiomyocyte costamere.

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition, and problems may persist or develop after the menopause. Endometriosis or its treatment in premenopausal women may lead to premature or early menopause. Thus, it is imperative that healthcare providers are appropriately trained in management of endometriosis at the menopause and beyond.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is characterized by clinical and biological heterogeneity, with a subset of patients progressing to Richter Transformation (RT), an aggressive lymphoma. This study explores MYC target gene activation across various CLL stages and disease subgroups using bulk RNAseq and single-cell RNAseq data. Our findings reveal increased MYC activation in unmutated IGHV CLLs, trisomy 12 cases, and RT stages.

Microorganisms have driven Earth's sulfur cycle since the emergence of life, yet the sulfur-cycling capacities of microorganisms and their integration with other element cycles remain incompletely understood. One such uncharacterized metabolism is the coupling of sulfide oxidation with iron(III) oxide reduction, a ubiquitous environmental process hitherto considered to be strictly abiotic. Here we present a comprehensive genomic analysis of sulfur metabolism across prokaryotes, and reveal bacteria that are capable of oxidizing sulfide using extracellular solid phase iron(III).

The challenging boundaries between neoplastic and reactive lymphoproliferations were discussed during the 2024 European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology workshop in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Session 3 focussed on the atypical lymphoid proliferations associated with therapeutic interventions. Forty-four cases were submitted representing a broad spectrum of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) encountered in the settings of immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies, various interventions for solid tumor treatment, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell lymphomas, Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKI) for SLL/CLL treatment, ABL-kinase inhibitor dasatinib, and COVID-19 vaccination.
