Ibrutinib as initial therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

TL;DR: Ibrutinib was superior to chlorambucil in previously untreated patients with CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma, as assessed by progression-free survival, overall survival, response rate, and improvement in hematologic variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCR4: a key receptor in the crosstalk between tumor cells and their microenvironment.

TL;DR: Observations reveal that CXCR4 is an important molecule involved in the spread and progression of a variety of different tumors, and that CxCR4 antagonists, although initially developed for treatment of AIDS, actually may become effective agents for the treatment of neoplastic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesenchymal precursor cells in the blood of normal individuals

TL;DR: Mesenchymal precursor cells found in the blood of normal persons adhere to plastic and glass and proliferate logarithmically in DMEM-20% fetal calf serum without growth factors, which is not affected by eliminating CD34, CD3, or CD14 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood-derived nurse-like cells protect chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells from spontaneous apoptosis through stromal cell-derived factor-1.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the blood of patients with CLL contains cells that can differentiate into adherent nurse-like cells that protect leukemia cells from undergoing spontaneous apoptosis through an SDF-1–dependent mechanism.
