Due to its major impact on the population, this disease represents a critical public health problem that requires further research at the molecular level to define its prognosis and specific treatment.

MCF-7 is a commonly used breast cancer cell line, that has been promoted for more than 40 years by multiple research groups but its characteristics have never been gathered in a consistent review article. The current paper provides a broad description of the MCF7 cell line, including the molecular profile, proliferation, migration, invasion, spheroid formation, its involvement in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, and its interaction with the mesenchymal stem cells [1].","PeriodicalId":87297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical haematology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43569293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has historically meant that diagnosis was made at autopsy for many patients. Over the past few decades, however, scientific and clinical literature have slowly accumulated to better characterize and raise clinical awareness of this disease. In this paper, we will review the characteristics that make this diagnosis challenging, and then discuss new and emerging diagnostic avenues.","PeriodicalId":87297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical haematology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44880136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Antibodies have become an essential element of treatment for patients with hematological tumors. This concept was developed more than 100 years ago in a different context [2]. The German physician Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) said, that for the defense against bacteria “antibodies” were be responsible [2,4]. In the antibodies Ehrlich saw therapeutic compounds, that like “magic bullets” would find their target and only destroy this target without affecting the organism. Paul Ehrlich became inspired by a scene in the German opera “Der Freischütz” (“The marksman”) by the composer Carl Maria von Weber [3]. In this opera a certain kind of bullets, “free bullets”, which were magic bullets, played a major role, because they always found their target. In 1878 Paul Ehrlich became resident and later attending physician at the Charité in Berlin. There, he worked closely together with Robert Koch, Emil von Behring, and Shibasaburo Kitasato. The chairman of the department, the famous internist Theodor von Frerichs, gave Paul Ehrlich enough space to conduct his experiments. Starting from 1882 Ehrlich investigated the acid resistance of the tuberculosis mycobacterium just discovered by Robert Koch and developed a method of dyeing the mycobacterium, thereby being able to detect it in the organism. Koch and Frerichs were important supporters of Ehrlich [4]. In 1890, Ehrlich was appointed by Koch to a position at the newly founded Institute for infectious Disease, the Robert Koch Institute. Ehrlich’s groundbreaking research in immunology started at that time. Later, in 1899, Ehrlich was appointed as Chairman of the newly found Institute for Experimental Therapy in Frankfurt, the Georg Speyer Haus, in which until this day important research has been conducted. There he continued his groundbreaking research in Immunology and Cancer Research. In 1908, Paul Ehrlich received the Nobel prize for Medicine [4]. Ehrlich’s great ability for abstract concepts enabled the creation of terms such as ‘receptor’ [2]. In this context he also developed the concept of “magic bullets”, which are drugs that move straight to their target. Targeted compounds attack pathogens that express the target and leave tissue alone that does not express the target [2]. It turned out later that the concept of magic bullets was not confined to bacterial infections and could be extrapolated from infectious disease to malignant tumors. Surface antigens on tumor cells could serve as target of these magic bullets.","PeriodicalId":87297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical haematology","volume":"110 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41251378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, the growing field of immunometabolism has accelerated rapidly giving rise to exciting discoveries and exploratory studies revealing how T cells balance metabolic adaptations in response to intrinsic and extrinsic regulatory cues. Central to this body of work, we showed how chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-induced metabolic reprogramming is an important determinant of efficacy and clinical outcome in blood-based malignancies [1]. CAR T-cell production involves a rigorous, and systematic ex-vivo expansion regime involving activation; genetic modification with either a CAR or tumor-specific T cell receptor (TCR); and proliferative phase which often lasts 14 days. As CAR T-cells progressively differentiate over time in culture, a process that impairs engraftment and potency following adoptive transfer, it’s surprising that the metabolic composition of clinical grade cell culture mediums has been largely understudied. Increasing evidence suggests that subtle adjustments in medium formulation can have a dramatic impact on T cell bioactivity and anti-tumor function in several preclinical models of cancer. In a recent article, we provide direct evidence that standard medium formulations are suboptimal, and introduce a serum-free, concentrated, platelet extract as a superior alternative to human serum in clinical-grade medium for CAR T-cells [2].","PeriodicalId":87297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical haematology","volume":"1 3","pages":"103-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7861513/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25343843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
