|
| Investigators showed that the 4-1BB CSD-associated tonic signal yielded a more dramatic effect in CAR-Tregs than in CAR-conventional T cells with respect to activation and proliferation. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Both transplantation of wild-type bone marrow and adoptive transfer of wild-type Treg cells could prevent liver injury in AMP-activated protein kinase alpha 1 (AMPKα1)-KO mice. [Cellular & Molecular Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported on 318 patients with acute leukemia, receiving donor lymphocyte infusion in complete hematologic remission after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. [Bone Marrow Transplantation] |
|
|
|
| Using a non-viral piggyBac transposon technology and human peripheral blood derived primary natural killer (NK) cells, the authors generated CAR-NK cells to target NKG2D ligands. [Molecular Therapy-Methods & Clinical Development] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found a dramatic decrease in general oxygen consumption in hemi-ovaries submitted to cryopreservation and/or transplantation. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors produced a quickly formed human iPSC-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) strip in as short as 2 days, which showed a potency to partly expand with the correct apical/basal polarity in vivo, although limited in expansion area in the presence of healthy host RPE. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the ability of transplanted human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cell to survive and migrate within the vitreous cavity and their neuroprotective effects on chronic glaucomatous retina. [Stem Cells International] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a fluid-driven heart pouch with a memory-shaped microfabricated lattice structure inspired by origami. The pore size of the membrane was around 0.4 μm, which allowed for the penetration of growth factors and exosomes. [Med] |
|
|
|
|
| A spate of recent studies investigating tumor immune evasion through the application of CRISPR-based gene-editing screens have highlighted tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated killing as an important component of the mammalian T cell antitumor repertoire. [Trends in Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Data indicates that systemic and local chemo/radiotherapy regimens promote intratumoral cytokine and chemokine upregulation, tumor antigen presentation and cross presentation, infiltration and in situ T cells reactivation. [Current Opinion in Immunology] |

|
| Vitti Labs announced that the US FDA has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to conduct Phase II Clinical Trials using a combination of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes. [Vitti Labs (PR Newswire, Inc.)] |

|
|
| German independent research institute BioMed X announced the successful completion of the research project DNA Damage in Cancer in collaboration with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. [Bio MX] |
