    Downregulation of RCN1 Promotes Pyroptosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells

    Researchers demonstrated that reticulocalbin-1 (RCN1) knockdown significantly suppressed the viability of bone marrow mononuclear cells from AML patients but did not affect the viability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells from healthy donors in vitro.

    Thiotepa-Busulfan-Fludarabine Compared to Treosulfan-Based Conditioning for Haploidentical Transplant with Posttransplant Cyclophosphamide in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission: A Study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT

    Investigators conducted a registry analysis including adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who had received thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine or treosulfan-basedconditioning for haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant with posttransplant cyclophosphamide between 2010 and 2020.

    Abstract

    Downregulation of RCN1 Promotes Pyroptosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells

    Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a life-saving procedure that requires mobilization of stem cells for apheresis procedure. The authors examine mobilizing agents that are in use and under investigation.

    Super-precise CRISPR Tool Enters US Clinical Trials for the First Time

    Base editing, which makes specific changes to a cell’s genome, is put to the test in CAR-T-cell treatments for leukemia. The first participant had been treated using immune cells with four base-edited genes, equipping the cells to better target and destroy tumors.
