Beyond the JAK2 mutation: The inflammasome, clonal stability, and the thrombotic niche in myeloproliferative neoplasms. (PubMed, Clin Exp Med)
Emerging anti-inflammatory and anti-clonal strategies targeting interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) (canakinumab), mutant-selective JAK2 inhibition, NLRP3 inflammasome blockade, and P-selectin-mediated adhesion are biologically plausible, but their ability to reduce thrombotic events in MPN remains unproven and should be viewed as hypothesis-generating rather than established clinical benefit. We conclude by outlining a translational research agenda integrating inflammation-aware risk stratification, niche-directed imaging, and spatial multi-omics to guide precision anti-inflammatory interventions in MPN.

IL-1β/CXCL12 signalling orchestrates adipocyte-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor crosstalk. (PubMed, J Transl Med)
Collectively, these findings identify IL-1β and CXCL12 as potential critical mediators of the inflammatory crosstalk between adipocytes and PanNET cells. Targeting this signalling axis may therefore represent a promising therapeutic strategy for PanNETs.

Pomalidomide significantly enhances the antitumor immune efficacy of dendritic cell-derived exosomes from multiple myeloma patients. (PubMed, J Transl Med)
This study provides a new strategy for enhancing the activity of DEXs derived from patients with MM, with the potential to develop DEXs as an antitumor vaccine for MM.

Blood Protein Test Predicts Lung Cancer Years before Diagnosis. (PubMed, Cancer Discov)
A 14-protein blood test can identify people at high risk of lung cancer more than 5 years before a tumor becomes detectable on imaging, including never-smokers who fall outside current screening criteria. In a retrospective analysis, the test also identified individuals most likely to benefit from the anti-IL-1β drug canakinumab, which roughly halved lung cancer incidence in the high-risk group but not in low-risk participants.

Clinical and immunological effects of adding cyclophosphamide to pomalidomide-dexamethasone in relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma: The randomized MUKseven trial. (PubMed, Br J Haematol)
Pretreatment CD4+ T-cell levels were identified as a prognostic PFS marker. In summary, our results demonstrate significant effects of cycloaddition to Pd on response and T-cell composition.

Forimtamig: a potent GPRC5D-targeted bispecific antibody in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Ann Med Surg (Lond))
When combined with standard agents such as daratumumab, pomalidomide, or cereblon E3 ligase modulatory drugs, forimtamig has shown improved tumor clearance and reduced relapse rates. Currently undergoing phase 1 trials, forimtamig is being evaluated both as monotherapy and in combination regimens. Its high potency, favorable safety, and durable immune engagement make it a promising candidate in the evolving treatment landscape of multiple myeloma.
