Marrow stroma was investigated in 20 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Such morphological and functional features as adipose tissue reduction, sinusoid pattern obliteration and increased number of reticular cells were identified as typical of marrow stroma in such patients. Foci of fibrosis, nuclear bodies in stromal cell nuclei and heightened proliferation of stromal precursors in organ cultures were recorded in the subendostal and perivascular areas in 60% of patients with diffuse lesions of bone marrow. Bone marrow stroma was shown to suffer morphological and functional changes which were particularly pronounced in diffuse lesions of the bone marrow. Such changes may be traced both to the malignant clone of lymphoid cells and stromal lesions.

Background: A 73-year-old female with a 3 year history of Alzheimer's disease was treated within the protocol of The Alzheimer's Autism and Cognitive Impairment Stem Cell Treatment Study (ACIST), an IRB approved clinical study registered with clinicaltrials.gov NCT03724136.

Method: The procedure consists of bone marrow aspiration, cell separation using an FDA cleared class 2 device, and intravenous and intranasal administration of the stem cell fraction.

Purpose Of The Study: The preclinical study aimed to compare the healing of segmental bone defects treated with biodegradable hyaluronic acid and tricalcium phosphate-based hydrogel with the established autologous spongioplasty. Another aim was to evaluate the hydrogel as a scaffold for osteoinductive growth factor of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and stem cells.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted in an in vivo animal model.

This study retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 61 pediatric patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) between 2011 and 2023. Patients were categorized into primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD), primary immune dysregulation disorders (PIRD), and congenital defects of phagocyte number or function (CDP). Median ages at diagnosis and HSCT were 9 and 30 months, respectively.

Background: The histologic classification of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) as alveolar (aRMS) or embryonal (eRMS) is of prognostic importance, with the aRMS being associated with a worse outcome. Specific gene fusions (PAX3/7::FOXO1) found in the majority of aRMS have been recognized as markers associated with poor prognosis and are included in current risk stratification instead of histologic subtypes in localized disease. In metastatic disease, the independent prognostic significance of fusion status has not been definitively established.
