This review explores the significance and prospects of using diverse T-cell variants in the context of combined therapy for lung cancer treatment. Recently, there has been an increase in research focused on understanding the critical role of tumor-specific T lymphocytes and the potential benefits of autologous T-cell-based treatments for individuals with lung cancer. One promising approach involves intravenous administration of ex vivo-activated autologous lymphocytes to improve the immune status of patients with cancer.

Additionally, we aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of this approach.
Materials And Methods: We recruited 80 participants in this non-randomized, open-label clinical trial, including patients undergoing NOA treatment using autologous BM-MSCs (n=40) and those receiving hormone therapy as a control group (n=40).
Objectives: Our goal was to determine levels of sex hormones in men with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus after autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplant.
Materials And Methods: We examined 10 male patients (32-56 years old) with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus, whom we subsequently divided into 2 groups and examined. Group 1 comprised 5 male patients who received autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplant (cells were obtained from patient's iliac crest and cultured for 3-4 weeks) by intravenous infusion.
Determining the most appropriate cannula diameter for lipoaspirate harvesting is important, both in terms of the quality and composition of the material obtained, and the ease of practical use of the cannula. The size of the cannula is one of the main factors affecting the qualitative characteristics of the obtained lipoaspirate sample for further use of adipose tissue. The purpose of the investigation was to clinically and histomorphometrically determine the optimal cannula diameter for lipoaspirate samples collection from rabbit inguinal fat pad in an experimental study.
