cell transplantation

[Bone Marrow Transplantation] Investigators compared 32 patients who underwent unrelated donor (UD) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using cryopreserved peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) during the COVID-19 pandemic with 32 patients who underwent UD HSCT using fresh PBSC in the previous period.

[Cancer Research] The authors review the historical basis underpinning the development of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) as well as advances in knowledge obtained by defining mechanisms of allo-HSCT activity.

[Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy] Investigators investigated whether human endometrium-derived stem cells could be used for cardiac repair after ischemic injury and their possible underlying mechanisms.

[BlueRock Therapeutics] BlueRock Therapeutics announced the dose administration for the first patient in a Phase I, open-label study of PSC-derived dopaminergic neurons in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease.

[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators summarize the emerging understanding of apoptosis in mediating mesenchymal stem cell transplant, highlighting the potential of apoptotic extracellular vesicles as cell-free therapeutics.

[Blood Cancer Journal] The authors collected samples before and after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from two independent prospective cohorts and investigated the prognostic impact of amplicon-based next-generation sequencing-based assessment.
