    A BMP-2–Triggered In Vivo Osteo-Organoid for Cell Therapy

    Investigators demonstrated that constructing in vivo osteo-organoids by implanting bone morphogenetic protein–2 (BMP-2)–loaded scaffolds into the internal muscle pocket near the femur of mice supported the growth and subsequent harvest of therapeutically useful cells.

    Allogeneic Transplant Following CAR T Cell Therapy for Large B Cell Lymphoma

    The authors reported a multicenter retrospective study assessing the safety, toxicities, and outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in large B-cell lymphoma patients following CAR T failure.

    Whole Bone Subcutaneous Transplantation as a Strategy to Study Precisely the Bone Marrow Niche

    Using immunolabeling of donor vs. recipient hematopoeitic stem cells (HSCs), researchers demonstrated that HSCs from the host animals colonized the subcutaneously transplanted femurs after transplantation, while the HSCs from the donor disappeared.

    Abstract

    Stability and Biosafety of Human Epidermal Stem Cell for Wound Repair: Preclinical Evaluation

    Nude mice were used to prepare a full-thickness skin defect wound model to detect the repair effect of epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs). The biosafety of EpiSCs was double tested in vitro and in vivo.

    Apoptosis of HSCs Contributes to Bone Marrow Suppression Following CAR-T Therapy

    Researchers tested if delayed bone marrow recovery following CAR-T cell therapy was caused by elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to apoptosis and depletion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

    Coexpression of c-Jun in Multiple-Chain DAP-CAR-Engineered T Cells for Solid Tumor Therapy

    Investigators explored whether c-Jun overexpression could improve the persistence and antitumor efficacy of DAP CAR-T cells.

    Abstract

    Transplanting Rejuvenated Blood Stem Cells Extends Lifespan of Aged Immunocompromised Mice

    Scientists demonstrated that after a short systemic treatment with a specific inhibitor of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42, transplanting aged hematopoietic stem cells from treated mice was sufficient to extend the healthspan and lifespan of aged immunocompromised mice.

    Anagen Hair Follicles Transplanted into Mature Human Scars Remodel Fibrotic Tissue

    Researchers tested if hair follicles transplanted into human scars could facilitate tissue regeneration and actively remodel fibrotic tissue, similar to how they remodel healthy skin.
