|
| Two consecutive international prospective studies, ALL- stem cell transplantation (SCT)-(I)BFM 2003 and 2007 were conducted in 1150 pediatric patients. 569 presented with very high risk disease leading to any kind of hematopoietic SCT. [Bone Marrow Transplantation] |

|
|
| 39 patients received bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from related donors, 37 received BMT/PBSCT from unrelated donors, and 35 received cord blood transplantation [Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation] |

|
| A two-dose cohort trial allogeneic Wharton’s Jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were tested in ten patients with de novo high risk or steroid refractory acute graft versus host disease post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |
|
|
|
| 67 patients were treated with Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells. The treated patients were paired with 67 reference patients from the PRO-ACT database which contains patient records from 23 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinical studies [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |

|
|
| Hematopoietic progenitor stem cells (HSPCs) were isolated from human umbilical cord blood. HSPC were seeded in the wells of a 24‐well microplate and exposed to increasing concentrations of human platelet lysates with or without cytokines for 24 hours. [Transfusion] |

|
|
| The authors systematically review literature pertaining to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) based tissue engineering strategies in animal models of chondral repair such that trends may be identified and the utility of HSCs in chondral repair can be elucidated [Tissue Engineering] |

| IMAC Holdings, Inc. announced FDA approved its investigational new drug application, which IMAC submitted in May 2020, for the use of umbilical cord-derived allogenic mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of bradykinesia, or the gradual loss and slowing down of spontaneous body movement, due to Parkinson’s disease.

| Research advocates were eager to learn who Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar would appoint to the board and to see its ideological makeup. On July 31st they got their first look as it gathered online for a one-time meeting run by the National Institutes of Health. [ScienceInsider] |
