Lenalidomide (CC-5013): Rewiring Myeloma Immunity
2026-08-27
Lenalidomide (CC-5013) is more than a conventional antineoplastic agent: it is an immune system activation agent, angiogenesis inhibitor, and TNF-alpha secretion inhibitor with a compelling role in multiple myeloma research. New findings position DOT1L inhibition as a mechanistically grounded strategy for amplifying lenalidomide-associated innate immune signaling while suppressing IRF4-MYC biology.

Chemotherapy Enhances Neoantigen-Directed T Cell Therapy
2026-08-23
Sagie et al. identify the KRAS.G12V-specific TCR T104 and show that lymphodepleting chemotherapy improves neoantigen presentation through immunoproteasome activation and increased HLA-I expression. The study provides a mechanistic framework for combining chemotherapy with TCR-T cells, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or T cell engagers while emphasizing that regimen optimization remains essential.

ac4C–Gm26917 Control of Germline Stem Cell Translation
2026-08-20
This Advanced Science study identifies an ac4C–Gm26917–EEF1A1–Rpl10 regulatory axis that links lncRNA modification to ribosome-associated translation in female germline stem cells. Its integrated use of acRIP-seq, RIC-seq, and ribosome profiling shows that ac4C supports lncRNA stability and spatial recruitment of ribosomal protein mRNA, rather than acting only through direct modification of the Rpl10 transcript.
