    A Non-Antibiotic-Disrupted Gut Microbiome Is Associated with Clinical Responses to CD19-CAR-T Cell Cancer Immunotherapy

    In a B cell lymphoma patient cohort from five centers in Germany and the United States, the authors demonstrated that wide-spectrum antibiotics treatment prior to CD19-targeted CAR-T cell therapy was associated with adverse outcomes.

    Galectin-3 Expression in Donor T Cells Reduces GvHD Severity and Lethality after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

    Scientists showed that activated donor T cells expressed galectin-3 (Gal-3) after allo-HCT. In both major and minor histocompatibility-mismatched models of murine acute graft versus host disease expression of Gal-3 is associated with decreased T cell activation and suppression of the secretion of effector cytokines.

    Intracutaneous Transplantation of Islets within a Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix (BTM) as an Alternative Site for Islet Transplantation

    Investigators tested a clinically proven BTM, a polyurethane-based scaffold, to generate a well-vascularized intracutaneous “neo-dermis” within the skin for islet transplantation.

    Conditioned Media of Deer Antler Stem Cells Accelerate Regeneration of Alveolar Bone Defects in Rats

    Researchers investigated the effectiveness of deer antler stem cells conditioned medium for the repair of surgically-created alveolar bone defects using a rat model and sought to define the underlying mechanisms.

    Nanoparticle Pre-Treatment for Enhancing the Survival and Activation of Pulmonary Macrophage Transplant

    Given recent discoveries of nanoparticle strategies in improving macrophage survival and promoting phenotype retention, investigators reported the ability to extend the survival and phenotype of macrophage transplants in murine lungs via pre-treatment with nanoparticles of varying degradation rates.

    Role of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant for Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive B Cell Lymphomas in the CAR T Era

    Scientists selected patients with the following characteristics: CART or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) performed between 2016 and 2021; ≥18 years old; ABCL diagnosis; ≥2 lines of therapy; and either anti-CD19 CART or alloHCT as therapy at relapse.

    Abstract

    Rapid and Effective Preparation of Clonal Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cell Sheets to Reduce Renal Fibrosis

    Scientists engineered clonal human bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (cBMSC) sheets and determined the influence of cBMSC freeze-thawing on both in vitro production of pro-regenerative factors and in vivo ability to reduce renal fibrosis in a rat model compared to freshly harvested cBMSCs.
