GM-CSF coordinates shelter in the cytokine storm; Interleukin-1 as a therapeutic target in TTP; CAR T-cell outcomes across race and ethnicity in LBCL

In this week's episode we'll discuss new insights on the role of GM-CSF in establishing immune memory. The authors propose that the coordination of opposing immune memory programs, driven by GM-CSF, may be essential to efficient, yet controlled, innate immune responses. After that: Interleukin-1 inhibition in TTP. Researchers explore the potential of recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist, anakinra, in a murine model of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura—an uncommon but potentially fatal disorder with limited therapeutic options. Finally, we'll learn about CAR T-cell therapy outcomes by race and ethnicity in large B-cell lymphoma. Non-Hispanic Black patients had lower rates of response and progression-free survival in axi-cel clinical trials and real-world data, raising awareness and giving further insights into potential inequitable access to care.
