“…Multi-parameter flow cytometry and TCR β sequencing of genomic DNA was performed on isolated PBMCs on PT days +30, +60, +100, +180, and +365.ResultsOverall, the PT-CY/BEN (n=14) regimen was associated with earlier neutrophil and platelet engraftment, reduced transfusion requirements, and comparable clinical outcomes to PT-CY (n=10), including survival and relapse rates. PT-CY/BEN patients exhibited distinct immune reconstitution patterns, characterized by earlier CD4+ T-cell recovery, impaired CD8+ T-cell engraftment, and reduced NK-cell counts. …”

Integrative bulk and single-cell transcriptomic analysis identifies a migrasome-associated lncRNA signature predictive of prognosis and immune landscape in clear cell renal cell ca... by Junlin Shen, Chun Wang, Mingpeng Zhang, Bin Chen, Liwei Liu, Jing Tian, Zhiqun Shang

“…IntroductionClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by high recurrence and metastasis rates, leading to poor prognosis. Migrasomes, a class of organelles mediating intercellular communication, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) both play critical roles in tumor progression; however, the prognostic significance of migrasome-associated lncRNAs in ccRCC remains unclear.MethodsMigrasome-associated lncRNAs were identified using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and a prognostic risk signature was constructed. …”
