Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 severity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a joint study by ERIC, the European Research Initiative on CLL, and CLL Campus.

TL;DR: In CLL, COVID-19 severity increases with age; antileukemic treatment (particularly BTK inhibitors) appears to exert a protective effect; age and comorbidities did not impact on mortality, alluding to a relevant role of CLL and immunodeficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effector gammadelta T cells and tumor cells as immune targets of zoledronic acid in multiple myeloma.

TL;DR: Zol induced antimyeloma activity through the monocyte-dependent activation of γδ T cells and by enhancing the immunosensitivity of myeloma cells to γ Δ T cells, and Mevastatin, a specific inhibitor of hydroxy-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, completely abrogated this antimyelin activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced ability of dendritic cells to stimulate innate and adaptive immunity on short-term incubation with zoledronic acid.

TL;DR: Large numbers of gammadelta T cells with effector and costimulatory activities are rapidly generated by Zol-treated iDC/mDC, and this strategy is worthy of further investigation to improve adoptive cell therapy and vaccine interventions against tumors and infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune Modulation by Zoledronic Acid in Human Myeloma: An Advantageous Cross-Talk between Vγ9Vδ2 T Cells, αβ CD8+ T Cells, Regulatory T Cells, and Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: ZA has multiple immune modulatory activities that allow MM DC to effectively handle the concurrent activation of γδ T cells and MHC-restricted CD8+ αβ antitumor effector T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

IGHV unmutated CLL B cells are more prone to spontaneous apoptosis and subject to environmental prosurvival signals than mutated CLL B cells.

TL;DR: Despite their more aggressive features, UM CLL B cells are more susceptible to spontaneous apoptosis and depend from environmental prosurvival signals, which can be exploited as a selective target of therapeutic interventions.
