Haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is one of the most effective therapies for treating malignant haematological disorders. However, HLA disparities are significant barriers to the success of this process since they increase the risk of graft versus host disease (GvHD). HLA disparities quantification could help to anticipate the probability and degree of GvHD, but the best tool for such quantification remains a challenge.

is an obligate biotroph that causes clubroot disease in cruciferous plants, including canola and Arabidopsis. In contrast to most known bacterial, oomycete, and fungal pathogens that colonize at the host apoplastic space, the protist . establishes an intracellular colonization within various types of root cells and secretes a plethora of effector proteins to distinct cellular compartments favorable for the survival and growth of the pathogen during pathogenesis.

Plasmodiophora brassicae (Woronin, 1877), a biotrophic, obligate parasite, is the causal agent of clubroot disease in brassicas. The clubroot pathogen has been reported in more than 80 countries worldwide, causing economic losses of hundreds of millions every year. Despite its widespread impact, very little is known about the molecular strategies it employs to induce the characteristic clubs in the roots of susceptible hosts during infection, nor about the mechanisms it uses to overcome genetic resistance.

Interactions between various microbial pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, and their plant hosts have traditionally been the focus of phytopathology. In recent years, a significant and growing interest in the study of eukaryotic microorganisms not classified among fungi or oomycetes has emerged. Many of these protists establish complex interactions with photosynthetic hosts, and understanding these interactions is crucial in understanding the dynamics of these parasites within traditional and emerging types of farming, including marine aquaculture.

Bacterial canker of tomato caused by () is one of the most devastating bacterial diseases affecting the tomato industry worldwide. As the result of colonization of the xylem, the susceptible host shows typical symptoms of wilt, marginal leaf necrosis, stem cankers, and ultimately plant death. However, what makes an even more dangerous pathogen is its ability to infect seeds and plants without causing symptoms.

Curative potential of allogeneic transplantation (AlloSCT) in high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) could be enhanced by the integration of Ofatumumab (OFA), a 2nd generation anti-CD20 moAb, due to an antitumor effect and a role over graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In this phase II trial (NCT01613300), we investigated safety and effectiveness of OFA-based reduced intensity conditioning (RIC). High-risk B-cell NHL patients with chemorrefractory disease or post-autologous SCT relapse were eligible.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiotoxicity due to anthracyclines (CDA) is a major concern for cancer patients, but predicting who will develop this complication remains challenging due to its complex genetic basis.
  • Researchers conducted a study using genetically diverse mice treated with doxorubicin and docetaxel to explore the link between intermediate molecular phenotypes (IMPs) in the heart and CDA susceptibility, identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with these traits.
  • The study revealed that specific genetic variants related to IMPs could serve as markers for CDA risk in patients, which may help tailor more personalized treatment strategies for those receiving cancer therapies like anthracyclines.

Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite , is one of the most devastating diseases affecting the canola/oilseed rape () industry worldwide. Currently, the planting of clubroot-resistant (CR) cultivars is the most effective strategy used to restrict the spread and the economic losses linked to the disease. However, virulent isolates have been able to infect many of the currently available CR cultivars, and the options to manage the disease are becoming limited.

Climate change is impacting agriculture in many ways, and a contribution from all is required to reduce the imminent losses related to it. Recently, it has been shown that citizen science could be a way to trace the impact of climate change. However, how can citizen science be applied in plant pathology? Here, using as an example a decade of phytoplasma-related diseases reported by growers, agronomists, and citizens in general, and confirmed by a government laboratory, we explored how to better value plant pathogen monitoring data.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents the best therapeutic option for many patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, relapse remains the main cause of mortality after transplantation. The detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) in AML, before and after HSCT, has been described as a powerful predictor of outcome.

Cardiotoxicity due to anthracyclines (CDA) affects cancer patients, but we cannot predict who may suffer from this complication. CDA is a complex disease whose polygenic component is mainly unidentified. We propose that levels of intermediate molecular phenotypes in the myocardium associated with histopathological damage could explain CDA susceptibility; so that variants of genes encoding these intermediate molecular phenotypes could identify patients susceptible to this complication.

Phytoplasmas are insect-vectored, difficult-to-culture bacterial pathogens that infect a wide variety of crop and non-crop plants, and are associated with diseases that can lead to significant yield losses in agricultural production worldwide. Phytoplasmas are currently grouped in the provisional genus ' Phytoplasma', which includes 49 species. Further differentiation of phytoplasmas into ribosomal groups is based on the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern of the 16S rRNA-encoding operon, with more than 36 ribosomal groups (16Sr) and over 100 subgroups reported.
