| The authors performed a nationwide retrospective study of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)-free, relapse-free survival of patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)-treated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. [Bone Marrow Transplantation] |

|
| Effects of umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium on insulin resistance were evaluated using glucose uptake, glucose transporter type 4 translocation, the insulin-signaling pathway, and mitochondrial contents and functions in C2C12 cell. [Diabetes & Metabolism Journal] |
|
|
|
| The authors characterized the hematopoietic supporting activity of mesenchymal stromal cells‐derived osteoblast (M‐OST) conditioned media by comparing the secretome of M‐OST to that of their precursor. [Proteomics] |
|
|
|
| miRNA abundance was quantified using real-time PCR from RNA isolated from umbilical cord serum exosomes, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and placenta exposed to diabetes or normoglycemia during pregnancy. [Pediatric Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators determined mean fluorescence intensity values of FITC, PE, or APC labeled antibodies binding to the receptors on platelets of 90 healthy donors. [Platelets] |
|
|
|
| Scientists studied the effect of delayed cord clamping on stem cell transfusion, hematological parameters, and clinical outcomes in pre-term infants born to mothers with placental insufficiency. [European Journal of Pediatrics] |
|
|
|
| Human amniotic epithelial cells (HAECs) and human corneal endothelial cells were isolated from donated tissue samples and were cultured; the collected HAEC culture medium was added to the human corneal endothelium medium to establish the HAEC-CM system. [Current Eye Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators prospectively evaluated a novel reduced-intensity conditioning regimen of alemtuzumab, hydroxyurea, fludarabine, melphalan, and thiotepa with a single-unit umbilical cord blood graft in 44 consecutive patients with inborn errors of metabolism, immunity, or hematopoiesis.

|
| In this meta-analysis, cell-based therapies were found to be safe and improved specific measures of cardiac function. Implications from this review may provide methodologic recommendations for future clinical trials. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Funding agencies behind the radical open-access initiative Plan S have announced a policy that could make it possible for researchers to bypass journals’ restrictions on open publishing. [Nature News] |
|
|
|
| Some researchers worry students will miss out on certain practical and problem-solving skills and won’t be able to judge whether the hands-on work of a scientist is a good fit for them. But instructors are developing high-tech ways to simulate the field and lab experiences. [Science Insider] |

|
| The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rethink what constitutes necessary travel. Many of this year’s conferences have been cancelled. Some have gone virtual. Nature presents an original analysis of the potential emissions savings of doing things differently. [Nature News] |
