The paper shows that immune surveillance in germinal centers eliminates premalignant B-cells, but lymphoma-like mutations allow immune escape and progression to lymphoma.

This study identifies relapse-founding cancer persister cells in follicular lymphoma using a mouse model and shows their transcriptional program is conserved in humans, with potential therapeutic targets identified.

This study shows that booster vaccination enhances plasma cell durability by shifting their fate toward long-lived states rather than just increasing numbers.

The paper identifies extrafollicular plasma cells as an antibody-independent checkpoint that inhibits dendritic cell-T-cell priming in tumor-draining lymph nodes, leading to poor prognosis and immune-checkpoint resistance.

This study identifies lactate as a tumor-secreted metabolite that inhibits B cell chemotaxis and TLS formation in TNBC by disrupting mitochondrial metabolism.

This study identifies mutations in the IgG heavy chain in follicular lymphoma and EZB DLBCL that enhance BCR signalling and oncogenicity by disrupting the IgG intracellular tail.
