Cellular therapies hold enormous potential for the cure of severe hematological and oncological disorders. The forefront of innovative gene therapy approaches including therapeutic gene editing and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation needs to be processed by good manufacturing practice to ensure safe application in patients. In the present study, an effective transfection protocol for automated clinical-scale production of genetically modified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) using the CliniMACS Prodigy system including the CliniMACS Electroporator (Miltenyi Biotec) was established.

(1) . Currently, there are no definitive long-term data about clinically significant difference in the failure of prosthesis and implant or marginal bone loss related to the rehabilitation of the completely edentulous mandible by all-on-four treatment concept. The main aim of present investigation was to report the long-term outcomes (10-years follow-up) of complete-arch mandibular rehabilitations based on the all-on-four concept.
