| In this open-label, single-arm Phase I/II trial, 87 patients with recurrent/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma received an infusion at doses of 0.5 × 106–8 × 106 TanCAR7 T cells per kilogram of body weight after conditioning chemotherapy. [Leukemia] |

|
| Ligation of dexamethasone and glucocorticoid receptor on tumor cells activated the PI3K signaling pathway and upregulated serum glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) expression, and then increased the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) through Nedd4l-Smad2. [Oncogene] |

|
| Trophoblast glycoprotein-targeted cell sorting enriched FOXA2+LMX1A+ ventral mesencephalic dopaminergic (vmDA) precursors and helped attain efficient behavioral recovery of rodent Parkinson’s disease models with increased numbers of TH+, NURR1+, and PITX3+ vmDA neurons in the grafts.

|
| Researchers reported the development of carHLH in 14·8% of pediatric patients and young adults treated with CD19-specific CAR T-cell therapy with carHLH, occurring most commonly in those with high disease burden. [British Journal of Haematology] |

|
| Scientists assessed the safety and efficacy of injecting intravenous Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patients with COVID-19 as a treatment. Five patients with severe COVID-19 were treated with Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Researchers showed an effective method for transplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell spheroids onto skin wounds in order to efficiently cure refractory ulcers. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| The authors set up a new natural scaffold derived from a decellularized porcine mucoperiosteum, engineered by an innovative micro-perforation procedure based on Quantum Molecular Resonance and then subjected to in vitro recellularization with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. [Scientific Reports] |
