    Hematopoietic
    Stem Cell Transplantation in Children with Inborn Errors of Immunity: a Multi-Center Experience in Colombia

    47 patients were identified, and five were re-transplanted. 68% were male. The median age at diagnosis was 0.6 years, and for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 1.4 years.

    Adenosine
    Deaminase (ADA)–Deficient Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) in the US Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNet) Registry

    26 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). HSCT successfully supported survival using a variety of cell sources from sibling, family and unrelated donors.

    Reproducible
    Production and Image-Based Quality Evaluation of Retinal Pigment Epithelium Sheets from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Scientists found that stepwise treatment with six signaling pathway inhibitors along with nicotinamide increased retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) differentiation efficiency, enabling the RPE sheet generation at high purity without manual selection.

    Effect of Human Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Skeletal Muscle Cells, Mediated by Secretion of MMP-1

    In two–five-month-old mdx mice intravenously injected with 1 × 105 Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs, fibrosis intensity and accumulation of calcium/necrotic fibers were significantly decreased.

    Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Different Tissues Exhibit Unique Responses to Different Inflammatory Stimuli

    Bone marrow-, adipose tissue-, or umbilica cord-MSCs were isolated each from 3 different healthy donors. The gene expression and protein secretion were analyzed at basal level, along with TNFα-, IL-1β- and SAA- stimulated cells using real-time PCR and Luminex technology.
