Successful engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells requires a supportive hematopoietic stromal microenvironment (HSM). Defects in the HSM associated with aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, or caused by intensive ionizing radiation and chemotherapy generally result in failure of bone marrow (BM) engraftment. Transplantation of donor BM within donor HSM may therefore provide optimal conditions for allogeneic BM transplantation. We have transplanted donor hematopoietic cells together with their own HSM to improve acceptance of allogeneic or xenogeneic BM. The non-myeloablative treatment used induced tolerance to murine allografts and provided conditions for the life-long acceptance of allogeneic HSM. Allogeneic BM transplanted within it's own HSM under the kidney capsule caused less graft-versus-host disease than BM transplanted i.v. Tolerance in mice to xenogeneic (rat) HSM was less complete. Ectopic ossicles were small and contained fewer hematopoietic cells. However, simultaneous transplantation of rat BM and HSM to preconditioned mice improved engraftment of rat BM compared with transplantation of BM alone. Donor hematopoietic cells survived longer on their own HSM than on HSM of recipients.

Erythropoiesis, a remarkably dynamic and efficient process responsible for generating the daily quota of red blood cells (approximately 280 ± 20 billion cells per day), is crucial for maintaining individual health. Any disruption in this pathway can have significant consequences, leading to health issues. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 25% of the global population presents symptoms of anemia.

CD7-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy has shown great promise in the treatment of relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). In this study, we reported a case of a 34-year-old male patient with T-ALL who finally developed multi-line drug resistance and refractoriness after multiple lines of high-intensity chemotherapy. After physician evaluation, this patient received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) represents a major global health challenge, marked by chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and immune system dysfunction. Immune cells, including T cells and monocytes, play a pivotal role in driving systemic inflammation in T2DM; however, the underlying single-cell mechanisms remain inadequately defined.

Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 37 patients with T2DM and 11 healthy controls (HC) was conducted.

Introduction: Our aim was to investigate the insufficiently understood differences in the immune system between anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA)-positive (ACPA) and ACPA-negative (ACPA) early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA) patients.

Methods: We performed multiple cytokine assays using sera from drug-naïve ACPA and ACPA eRA patients. Additionally, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing of CD45 cells from peripheral blood samples to analyze and compare the distribution and functional characteristics of the cell subsets based on the ACPA status.

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a highly heterogeneous hematological malignancy, remains a major challenge in adult oncology. Stem cell research has highlighted the crucial role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in regulating cellular differentiation and self-renewal processes, which are pivotal in AML pathogenesis and therapy resistance.

Methods: This study explores the relationship between cuproptosis-related lncRNAs and AML prognosis, providing novel insights into their impact on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
