The data provide one explanation for adjuvant properties of lenalidomid and pomalidomide and suggest that they may help overcome an important barrier to tumour-specific immunity in cancer patients.

It is suggested that lenalidomide has the potential to enhance the rituximab-induced killing of NHL cell lines and primary B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells via a NK cell-mediated and monocyte-mediated ADCC mechanism in vitro, providing a strong rationale for the combination of lenalidumide with IgG1 antibodies to target tumor-specific antigens in patients with cancer.

In vitro and in vivo data support the hypothesis that Thal may mediate its anti-MM effect, at least in part, by modulating NK cell number and function.

The presence of "Ca. L. asiaticus" in Brazil is confirmed for the first time, which relates to the potential damage that this pathogen could cause to the citrus industry in the largest citrus-producing country in the world.
Adherence of multiple myeloma cells to bone marrow stromal cells upregulates vascular endothelial growth factor secretion: therapeutic applications

The importance of stromal–MM cell interactions in regulating VEGF and IL-6 secretion is demonstrated, and additional mechanisms whereby thalidomide and IMiD1-CC4047 act against MM cells in the BM millieu are suggested.

Thalidomide and Lenalidomide Extend Survival in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Both thalidomides and lenalidomide bear promise as therapeutic interventions for the treatment of ALS, pharmacological agents that inhibit the expression of TNF-α and other cytokines by destabilizing their mRNA.
