A systematic review of 47 published cases of extramedullary hematopoiesis in myelofibrosis: clinical patterns, treatment responses, and prognostic implications. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
Ruxolitinib-based regimens, administered in 19 patients (40%) as EMH-directed therapy, yielded rapid palliation (dyspnea/ascites resolution), complemented by radiotherapy (11%) and splenectomy; HSCT achieved complete remission in one case...Atypical EMH signals advanced myelofibrosis with dismal prognosis, responsive to JAK inhibitors/locoregional therapies but highlighting sanctuary biology. Systematic surveillance and transplant referral are imperative; prospective registries are needed to refine risk models and test novel antifibrotics.

Dual biologics or combination therapy with small molecules in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, World J Pediatr)
For pediatric patients with IBD that is unresponsive to monotherapy, combining biologics and/or small molecules may represent an effective and relatively safe treatment option, achieving high clinical remission rates and improvements in biological markers. However, high-quality prospective studies are needed to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.

Successful Treatment of Refractory Pruritus in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis with Upadacitinib: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Gastroenterol)
Effective symptom control allowed deferral of LT driven primarily by quality-of-life impairment, with the patient remaining inactive on the waitlist. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful treatment of PSC-associated pruritus with upadacitinib, supporting further investigation of JAK1 inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for cholestatic pruritus.

Treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms: Exploring new horizons of who and when to cytoreduce in patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocytosis. (PubMed, Semin Hematol)
In this evidence-based review, we trace the evolution of risk stratification in PV and ET and examine the clinical evidence supporting current cytoreductive options, specifically hydroxyurea, interferons, ruxolitinib, and anagrelide. We argue for a paradigm shift away from binarily driven thrombosis-centric risk stratification toward a personalized, proactive approach that integrates molecular and inflammatory biomarkers, expands the population offered cytoreduction, and prioritizes disease-modifying therapies. Prospective studies are needed to validate the incorporation of these markers into risk-adapted algorithms and to define the long-term impact of early disease modification on transformation, survival, and quality of life.

Filgotinib induces apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells by activating the p53 signaling pathway. (PubMed, Mol Biol Rep)
Our study demonstrates that Filgotinib exerts direct anti-tumor effects in CRC by triggering apoptosis, activating the p53 pathway, and inhibiting pro-survival VEGF and TNF pathways. These findings support its potential as a targeted therapeutic agent for CRC.

Multi-cohort integration and machine learning identify CPVL as a novel oncogenic driver in gastric cancer. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Through systematic multi-cohort integration and machine-learning prioritization, CPVL was identified as a novel oncogenic driver in gastric cancer. CPVL promotes tumor growth via activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway and regulation of the Cyclin D1/CDK4/p27 axis, highlighting its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Isavuconazole as primary antifungal prophylaxis in pediatric hematological patients: a clinical and pharmacokinetic analysis. (PubMed, Antimicrob Agents Chemother)
Concomitant use of CYP3A4-interacting agents (e.g., ruxolitinib) was not associated with increased toxicity or isavuconazole level alterations. In this retrospective cohort of high-risk pediatric hematology patients, isavuconazole used as primary antifungal prophylaxis showed favorable safety, consistent drug exposure, and no breakthrough IFDs. These findings support further prospective evaluation of isavuconazole in pediatric prophylactic strategies.

Ruxolitinib inhibits CaMKII-γ to reverse bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Commun Biol)
Here we show calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II gamma (CaMKII-γ) regulates bortezomib-resistant MM (BRMM) via AMPK-ULK1-autophagy axis. High-throughput screening identified ruxolitinib as a selective CaMKII-γ inhibitor, which reverses BRMM resistance in vitro (using U266 and KMS11 bortezomib-resistant cell lines) and in vivo (using female BALB/c nude mouse model), with efficacy comparable to genetic CaMKII-γ ablation, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for BRMM with broader implications to improve patient outcomes in the future.

Glucose transport dependency defines a therapeutic vulnerability in JAK2V617F-driven myeloproliferative neoplasms. (PubMed, Cell Commun Signal)
Collectively, these findings establish HIF-1-driven glucose metabolism as a metabolic vulnerability in JAK2V617F-positive MPN. The selective exhaustion of patient-derived clones defines the HIF-1-GLUT1/3 axis as a central, targetable bottleneck. These data provide a mechanistic rationale for further investigation of HIF-1 or GLUT inhibitors, suggesting that targeting this fundamental requirement may help overcome clinical limitations to achieve disease modification and eradicate the malignant clone.
