Folate status in Italian blood donors: relation to gender and smoking.

abstract：:The introduction of agents inhibiting the BCR-associated kinases such as ibrutinib has dramatically changed treatments algorithms of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) as well as the role of different adverse prognosticators. We evaluated the efficacy of ibrutinib as single agent, in a real-life context, on 180 patie...

abstract：:Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase degrades the amino acid tryptophan which is essential for T cells. Tryptophan depletion causes T-cell cycle arrest and solid tumors that express high levels of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase can create immune suppression. Recently, blasts of patients with acute myeloid leukemia were shown to e...
