Primary resistance to BCMA-targeted bispecifics in multiple myeloma, emapalumab therapy in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and chemotherapy-induced pyroptosis as a mechanism of thrombus formation in patients with cancer
In this week's episode, we’ll learn more about mechanisms of primary resistance to BCMA-targeted bispecific T-cell engagers in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, the effects of emapalumab therapy on outcomes in patients with pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who receive stem cell transplants, and a cell death process that may help account for increased thromboembolic risk in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy.Featured Articles:Impact of soluble BCMA and non–T-cell factors on refractoriness to BCMA-targeting T-cell engagers in multiple myelomaEmapalumab therapy for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis before reduced-intensity transplantation improves chimerismGSDME-mediated pyroptosis contributes to chemotherapy-induced platelet hyperactivity and thrombotic potential
In this week's episode, unravelling follicular lymphoma subtypes. Researchers dissect the biological diversity of follicular lymphoma and introduce a new prognostic mode, that could change the way this B-cell neoplasm is subtyped and treated. Then, concerning stroke rate trends in sickle cell disease. A new report shows increasing rates of cerebrovascular events among people with SCD in California. Finally, procoagulant platelet activation promotes venous thrombosis. Investigators report finding procoagulant platelets in the circulation and in thrombi of patients and mice with DVT or PE.

Clonal hematopoiesis in patients with telomere biology disorders, genomic alterations in extracutaneous juvenile xanthogranulomas, and the BCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody teclistamab in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
In this week's episode we’ll learn more about how clonal hematopoiesis affects prognosis in patients with telomere biology disorders, consider recently uncovered molecular subtypes of extracutaneous juvenile xanthogranulomas, and discuss a clinical trial of the BCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody teclistamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have received previous BCMA-targeted therapy.Featured Articles:Clonal landscape and clinical outcomes of telomere biology disorders: somatic rescue and cancer mutationsRecurrent CLTC::SYK fusions and CSF1R mutations in juvenile xanthogranuloma of soft tissueEfficacy and safety of teclistamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after BCMA-targeting therapies

Targeting mutant calreticulin in MPNs; focusing on bleeding risk in patients with cancer; revisiting diagnostic guidelines for familial HLH
In this week's podcast, we'll learn about targeting mutant calreticulin in MPNs, or myeloproliferative neoplasms. Then, it’s time to address bleeding and clotting in cancer. Results of the prospective, observational CAT-BLED study provide much needed data on the high risk of clinically relevant bleeding, and its association with all-cause mortality, among cancer patients receiving systemic therapy. Finally, we'll revisit diagnostic guidelines for familial HLH, or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The authors present new and improved diagnostic criteria with revised clinical criteria, and guidelines on cellular and genetic diagnostic assays.Featured Articles:Selective targeting of mutated calreticulin by the monoclonal antibody INCA033989 inhibits oncogenic function of MPNBleeding events in patients with cancer: incidence, risk factors, and impact on prognosis in a prospective cohort studyDiagnostic guidelines for familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis revisited
