Abstract
The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B (LILRB) proteins, characterized by their transmembrane nature and canonical immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) signaling, play a pivotal role in maintaining immune homeostasis and are implicated in the pathogenesis of various disease states. This comprehensive review will focus on the intricate involvement of the LILRB family in hematologic malignancies. These receptors have emerged as valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Beyond their prognostic implications, LILRBs actively shape the immune microenvironment and directly influence the disease pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies. Furthermore, their identification as potential therapeutic targets offer a promising avenue for precision medicine strategies in the treatment of these disorders. Currently, multiple LILRB directed therapies are in the preclinical and clinical trial pipelines. This review underscores the multifaceted role of the LILRB family in hematologic malignancies, highlighting their significance from diagnostic and prognostic perspectives to their broader impact on disease pathophysiology and as valuable therapeutic targets.

期刊介绍:
Biomarker Research, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, covers all aspects of biomarker investigation. It seeks to publish original discoveries, novel concepts, commentaries, and reviews across various biomedical disciplines. The field of biomarker research has progressed significantly with the rise of personalized medicine and individual health. Biomarkers play a crucial role in drug discovery and development, as well as in disease diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention, particularly in the genome era.
