    Comparison of Long-Term Outcome for AML Patients Alive Free of Disease 2 Years after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Umbilical Cord Blood versus Unrelated Donor: A Study from the ALWP of the EBMT

    Scientists performed a landmark study comparing long-term outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients alive and disease-free two years after transplantation who received grafts from either cord blood transplantation or unrelated donors.

    Abstract

    Optimal Umbilical Cord Blood Collection, Processing and Cryopreservation Methods for Sustained Public Cord Blood Banking

    The authors described their cord blood bank’s novel collection technique, which involved both in utero and ex utero collection of a single cord blood unit. They also evaluated maternal, neonatal and collection parameters that may have impacted the cell dose.

    Abstract

    Placental Response to Maternal SARS-CoV-2 Infection

    Using a cohort of 66 COVID-19-positive women in late pregnancy, scientists correlated clinical parameters with disease severity, placental histopathology, and the expression of viral entry and Interferon-induced transmembrane antiviral transcripts.

    Three-Dimensional Human Placenta-Like Bud Synthesized from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Investigators successfully generated a 3D placental organ bud from human induced-pluripotent cells, which differentiated into various lineages of trophoblasts such as cytotrophoblast-like, syncytiotrophoblast-like, and extravillous trophoblast-like cells, forming organized layers in the bud.

    miR-100-5p in Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell–Derived Exosomes Mediates Eosinophilic Inflammation to Alleviate Atherosclerosis via the FZD5/Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

    Exosome marker protein levels were increased in the exosomes derived from human umbilical cord MSCs (hUMSC-Ex) compared with those in hUMSC suspension, indicating that exosomes were successfully isolated from hUMSCs.

    Application of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Sheet to Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease

    Since umbilical cord (UC)-MSCs have few human leukocyte antigen-II and major histocompatibility complex class I molecules, and are easy to isolate and culture, UC-MSC sheets have been proposed as a candidate for clinical applications to ischemic heart disease.
