Astrocytes Transplanted during Early Postnatal Development Integrate, Mature, and Survive Long-Term in Mouse Cortex

January 23, 2023

[Journal Of Neuroscience] To better understand how astrocytes acquire their unique features, scientists transplanted immature mouse cortical astrocytes into the developing cortex of mice and assessed their integration, maturation, and survival.

Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Dialysis-Dependent Myeloma Patients—the DIADEM Study from the Chronic Malignancies Working Party of the EBMT

January 23, 2023

[Bone Marrow Transplantation] Investigators reported on the outcomes of 110 patients, median age 57 years, who had become dialysis-dependent pre-autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and who underwent a first ASCT.

Enzyme-Cleaved Bone Marrow Transplantation Improves the Engraftment of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

January 23, 2023

[JBMR Plus] Successful engraftment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) to the new bone formation occured in collagenase-integrated-bone marrow transplantation (BMT) mice, while routine BMT mice did not recruit bone marrow MSC.
