| 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. [Nature Biotechnology] |

|
| Researchers showed, using multiple approaches including parabiosis of mice with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), that GVHD was primarily maintained locally within diseased tissues. [Immunity] |
|
|
|
| An injectable stem cell vector was prepared by combining natural alginate hydrogel and Au@Pt nanoparticles to encapsulate brown adipose stem cells. [ACS Nano] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
| 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.

|
|
| 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. [Biofabrication] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Haematologica] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Bone Marrow Transplantation] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Radiology and Oncology] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss recent results on the biology of engineered T-cells that have been obtained with real-time imaging microscopy. [Seminars in Immunopathology] |

|
| Immusoft announced that the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine had awarded the company an $8M grant. [Immusoft] |

|
|
| Bristol Myers Squibb announced topline results from TRANSCEND CLL 004, a Phase I/II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study evaluating Breyanzi in adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. [Bristol Myers Squibb] |
