Objective: Chimerism analysis is an important post-transplant assessment for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Although various chimerism analysis techniques are already established, they are limited in terms of sensitivity, versatility, and turnaround time. Our objective was to develop a digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) assay for chimerism analysis using ABO gene polymorphisms as markers.

- * Multiomics analysis showed MNKPL is distinct from other leukemia types and suggested that both NK and myeloid cells may originate from shared progenitor cells.
- * Current treatments for MNKPL are not very effective, but the study found that MNKPL is especially sensitive to the drug l-asparaginase, which aligns with clinical observations of its effectiveness in patients.
The feasibility of a short-term, three-dimensional (3D) culture-based drug sensitivity test (DST) for surgically resected malignant bone tumors, including osteosarcoma (OS), was evaluated utilizing two OS cell line (KCS8 or KCS9)-derived xenograft (CDX) models. Twenty-three (KCS8) or 39 (KCS9) of 60 tested drugs were likely effective in OS cells derived from a cell line before xenografting. Fewer drugs (19: KCS8, 26: KCS9) were selected as effective drugs in cells derived from a CDX tumor, although the drug sensitivities of 60 drugs significantly correlated between both types of samples.
