    In Vivo Development of Immune Tissue in Human Intestinal Organoids Transplanted into Humanized Mice

    To decipher human intestinal–immune crosstalk during development, scientists generated human intestinal organoids (HIOs) containing immune cells by transplanting HIOs under the kidney capsule of mice with a humanized immune system.

    Graft-versus-Host Disease Is Locally Maintained in Target Tissues by Resident Progenitor-Like T Cells

    Researchers showed, using multiple approaches including parabiosis of mice with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), that GVHD was primarily maintained locally within diseased tissues.

    CD28-CAR-T Cell Activation through FYN Kinase Signaling Rather Than LCK Enhances Therapeutic Performance

    The authors showed that CAR signaling occured in the absence of LCK. This LCK-independent signaling required the related SRC family kinase FYN and a CD28 intracellular domain within the CAR.

    CAR-T Cell–Mediated B Cell Depletion in Central Nervous System Autoimmunity

    Scientists tested anti-CD19 CAR-T cells in a B cell–dependent experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model that was responsive to anti-CD20 B-cell depletion similar to the clinical benefit of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody treatment in multiple sclerosis.

    Developing Small-Diameter Vascular Grafts with Human Amniotic Membrane: Long-Term Evaluation of Transplantation Outcomes in a Small Animal Model

    The authors investigated the feasibility of constructing a small vascular graft from decellularized amniotic membranes (DAMs). The genipin-crosslinked DAM graft showed an improved integrated structure, prolonged stability, proper mechanical property, and superior biocompatibility.

    Therapeutic Potential of Fetal Liver Cells Transplantation in Hemophilia A Mice

    Scientists investigated the engraftment of murine fetal liver cells in newborn hemophilia A (HA) mice for obtaining a suitable “proof of concept” for the development of a new HA treatment in neonates.

    Abstract

    Comparison of Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Chemotherapy in Older Adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Data suggested that haploidentical transplant may be an alternative to consolidation chemotherapy as post-remission therapy in patients with intermediate or high-risk acute myeloid leukemia.

    Abstract

    Pancreatic Islets Implanted in an Irreversible Electroporation Generated Extracellular Matrix in the Liver

    Researchers showed that pancreatic islets could become incorporated and function in a non-thermal irreversible electroporation-generated ECM niche, albeit at a low success rate.
