Intrabone Infusion for Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Children
Investigators conducted a Phase I-II single arm, exploratory clinical trial from 2012 to 2016 in a single center. 15 patients aged from 1.9 to 16.4 years received an intrabone umbilical cord blood transplantation.

Endothelial Dysfunction and Immunothrombosis as Key Pathogenic Mechanisms in COVID-19
Scientists propose that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a process known as immunothrombosis, in which activated neutrophils and monocytes interact with platelets and the coagulation cascade, leading to intravascular clot formation in small and larger vessels.

UDP-Glucose and P2Y14 Receptor Amplify Allergen-Induced Airway Eosinophilia
Researchers showed that UDP-glucose, a nucleotide sugar, was selectively released into the airways of allergen-sensitized mice upon their subsequent challenge with that same allergen.

Targeting the AnxA1/Fpr2/ALX Pathway Regulates Neutrophil Function, Promoting Thromboinflammation Resolution in Sickle Cell Disease
Administration of annexin A1 mimetic peptide AnxA1Ac2-26 ameliorated cerebral thrombotic responses in sickle transgenic mice via regulation of the FPR2/ALX pathway.

Gene Therapy for a Murine Model of Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Researchers hypothesized that a single administration of an adeno‐associated virus coding for an anti‐eosinophil monoclonal antibody that induces eosinophil clearance would treat on a persistent basis a murine model of eosinophilic esophagitis.

Immune Suppressive Activity of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Cancer Requires Inactivation of the Type I Interferon Pathway
The natural mechanisms limiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells activity are not well understood. Scientists present evidence that type I interferons receptor signaling serves as a universal mechanism that restricts acquisition of suppressive activity by these cells.
