CMV reactivation after allogeneic HCT and relapse risk: evidence for early protection in acute myeloid leukemia

TLDR
A modest reduction in early relapse risk after HCT associated with CMV reactivation is demonstrated in a large cohort of patients without a benefit in overall survival.

Cytomegalovirus infection drives adaptive epigenetic diversification of NK cells with altered signaling and effector function.

TL;DR: The emergence of diverse subsets of human NK cells selectively lacking expression of signaling proteins after human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is described, uncovering a spectrum of epigenetically unique adaptive NK cell subsets that diversify in response to viral infection and have distinct functional capabilities compared to canonical NK cells.

Therapeutic approaches to enhance natural killer cell cytotoxicity against cancer: the force awakens

TL;DR: A growing number of scientific discoveries into pathways that both activate and suppress NK cell function, as well as methods to sensitize tumours to NK cell cytotoxicity, have led to the development of numerous pharmacological and genetic methods to enhance NK cell antitumour immunity.

A Proportional Hazards Model for the Subdistribution of a Competing Risk

TL;DR: This article proposes methods for combining estimates of the cause-specific hazard functions under the proportional hazards formulation, but these methods do not allow the analyst to directly assess the effect of a covariate on the marginal probability function.

1994 Consensus Conference on Acute GVHD Grading.

TL;DR: Reports of GVHD prevention trials should include an accurate description of the grading system used and should report actuarial rates of grades II-IV and III-IV GV HD corrected for graft failure and potential interventions for early relapse.

Effectiveness of Donor Natural Killer Cell Alloreactivity in Mismatched Hematopoietic Transplants

TL;DR: It is shown that donor-versus-recipient natural killer (NK)–cell alloreactivity could eliminate leukemia relapse and graft rejection and protect patients against GVHD in human transplants and in mice, the pretransplant infusion of alloreactive NK cells obviated the need for high-intensity conditioning and reduced GV HD.

Refinement of cytogenetic classification in acute myeloid leukemia: determination of prognostic significance of rare recurring chromosomal abnormalities among 5876 younger adult patients treated in the United Kingdom Medical Research Council trials

TL;DR: Analysis of outcomes of 5876 patients treated in Medical Research Council trials allows more reliable prediction of outcome for patients with rarer abnormalities and may facilitate the development of consensus in reporting of karyotypic information in clinical trials involving younger adults with AML.

Cytomegalovirus pp65 antigenemia-guided early treatment with ganciclovir versus ganciclovir at engraftment after allogeneic marrow transplantation: a randomized double-blind study

TL;DR: Delaying the start of ganciclovir until highgrade antigenemia and discontinuing gancIClovir based on negative antigenemia results in more CMV disease by day 100 than gancinglovir administered at engraftment, however, gancclovir at engRAFTment is associated with more early invasive fungal infections and more late CMV Disease resulting in similar survival rates.
