    Signaling Promotes the Development of Endocardial Cells from Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiovascular Progenitors

    To access human endocardial cells, investigators generated a human pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial population that displayed many characteristics of endocardium, including expression of the cohort of genes that identified this lineage in vivo, the capacity to induce a trabecular fate in immature cardiomyocytes in vitro, and the ability to undergo endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

    VCAM‐1‐Targeted Gene Delivery Nanoparticles Localize to Inflamed Endothelial Cells and Atherosclerotic Plaques

    An anti‐inflammatory gene therapy nanoparticle targeted to VCAM‐1, a protein overexpressed by inflamed endothelial cells located within atherosclerotic plaque, was developed.

    CD28
    Co-Stimulatory Domain-Targeted Mutations Enhance Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Function

    In vivo, researchers found that mice given CAR T cells with only a PYAP CD28 endodomain had a significant survival advantage, with 100% of mice alive after 62 days compared to 50% for mice with an unmutated endodomain.

    Coadministration
    of Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Therapy for Critical Limb Ischemia

    Scientists explored the therapeutic efficacy of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)‐derived endothelial cell and iPSC‐derived smooth muscle cell in peripheral artery disease model.

    Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Poor Prognosis Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma: The Impact of Different Donor Type on Outcome

    Scientists report the outcome of 68 patients with advanced peripheral T-cell lymphoma receiving transplantation from haploidentical or from conventional donors. The four-year overall survival, progession free survival, two-year cumulative incidence of relapse and two-year GVHD and relapse free survival was 75%, 70%, 21%, and 51%, respectively.

    Relationship
    between Cell Number and Clinical Outcomes of Autologous Bone-Marrow Mononuclear Cell Implantation in Critical Limb Ischemia

    The authors evaluated the effects of the number of implanted bone-marrow mononuclear cells on clinical outcomes in atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease patients with critical limb ischemia who underwent cell therapy.

    Neurotrophic Effects of Dental Pulp Stem Cells on Trigeminal Neuronal Cells

    Primary co-cultures of dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) and rigeminal ganglion neuronal cells (TGNC) were established to evaluate the paracrine effects of DPSC. In comparison, nerve growth factor was used to evaluate its neurotrophic and neuritogenic effect on TGNC.
