Cardiotoxicity of T cell immunotherapies
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 23 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41569-026-01265-zAs the indications for T cell immunotherapies, particularly chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, continue to expand, a nuanced understanding of their potential adverse effects is required. In this Review, Raddatz and colleagues summarize the mechanisms, epidemiology and management of T cell therapy-associated cytokine release syndrome and subsequent cardiotoxicity.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is common in older individuals, but its connection with aortic valve stenosis was unclear. Wesley T. Abplanalp & team now show CHIP activates procalcific pathways in macrophages and promotes AVS: www.jci.org/articles/vie...

We did a deep dive into aortic stenosis genetics, and took first steps to understand the genetics behind normal human variation in flow across the aortic valve.

The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from @UCLA would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth and reduce educational access. Stand with UC to protect our vital mission: www.universityofcalifornia.edu/get-involved...

BREAKING: The Trump administration is seeking $1 billion+ from the University of California to restore UCLA's frozen federal funding. The payout would far exceed any made by universities so far. UC has not agreed to it, sources say. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I have confirmation from several sources now that all T32s, many F30s and F31s, and most or all Center awards (P30, P50) have been terminated at Columbia. This is quite damaging to research and to individuals. This is pure terrorism and cannot be legal. But litigation will take time...

During Rare Disease Week, patients and advocates were in D.C. for an event with the NIH, FDA, and HHS to highlight work being done on treatments and cures. It was abruptly canceled. Why? The administration fired the people organizing this important event and advancing this work.

Duke is one of the largest biomedical research enterprises in the country. A cut of this magnitude (15%cap on F&As) would result in thousands of lost jobs at Duke & potentially tens of thousands across NC. Sources: medschool.duke.edu/about-us/fac... & www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-pdf/?sta...
“This is seismic. Think of a car being built. The direct portion of any NIH grant goes toward the car components, but the indirect payments pay for the assembly line — the facilities, the specialty equipment, the IT structures, and the people. The F&A payments are essential; they are required to do the work.”
 
Colin S. Duckett, PhD, Executive Vice Dean for Basic and Preclinical Science, Duke University School of Medicine, on the devastating effects of the NIH’s cap on indirect grant payments.
