How "immunomodulatory" are IMIDs?
In this issue of Blood, Hsu and colleagues report that the immunostimulatory effect of lenalidomide on natural killer (NK)–cell function is profoundly suppressed by concurrent dexamethasone (Dex) therapy in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. These results could have major implications for the design of clinical trials combining lenalidomide and immunotherapies with the intent to stimulate the anti...

That’s interesting. Care to elaborate? Part of the problem in trying to make a movie about real animals is that they aren’t actors. You can write a script — and there was one — but the chimps didn’t always follow it! So, like a good field worker, one had to adapt as the film footage came in and the story line changed. In this day and age of global warming, disease pandemics, and the like, it’s ...
متن کاملGWAS in lung disease.
We read with interest the recent article ‘Genome-wide association studies in lung disease’ by Artigas et al. While we agree that a greater understanding of the biological pathways underlying disease development and progression (susceptibility) will be a major outcome from these genetic epidemiological studies, we suggest other benefits may also stem from this research. The genetics of chronic o...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory compounds (IMiDs) in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The design of innovative, more effective, less toxic therapy of multiple myeloma (MM) is emerging in parallel to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of this common hematologic malignancy. Thalidomide has changed the treatment paradigm of patients with MM. Its efficacy, however, has been compromised by significant side effects. IMiDs (immunodulatory compounds) are structural...
متن کاملDigesting GWAS
nce upon a time, medical genetics was a relaOtively straightforward business: one gene—one protein—one disease was sufficient to explain most inherited disease and was neatly in keeping with Gregor Mendel’s discovery of alleles with his famous peas. The concept remains a good starting point but the biology of life is somewhat more complex, and increasingly we have become impressed and perplexed...
