On the basis of transplantation data from the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, we retrospectively analyzed the impact of cytogenetics at diagnosis on the outcome of transplantation in 628 patients with acute myeloid leukemia who underwent autologous (n = 200), allogeneic related (n = 363), or allogenic unrelated (n = 65) stem cell transplantation (SCT) at first complete remission. For autologous SCT, patients at good cytogenetic risk had a significantly lower relapse rate (P = .017) and a significantly higher event-free survival (EFS) (P = .013) compared with those at intermediate risk. For allogeneic SCT, patients at good cytogenetic risk had a significantly lower relapse rate (P = .019) and insignificantly higher EFS (P = .093) than those at poor risk. For unrelated SCT, there was no significant difference in relapse rate or EFS between patients at good risk and those at intermediate risk. Comparison of the 3 transplantation modalities revealed that autologous SCT patients had a significantly higher incidence of relapse compared with related or unrelated SCT patients in the intermediate-risk group but not in the good-risk group. However, there were no significant differences in EFS among the 3 transplant modalities in either of these 2 risk groups. In multivariate analysis, cytogenetics was found to be an independent predictor of relapse as well as of treatment failure.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic and incurable skin inflammation driven by an abnormal immune response. Our study aims to investigate the potential of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) primed mesenchymal stem cells (IMSCs) in targeting T cells to attenuate psoriasis-like inflammation, and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism involved.
Methods: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from the umbilical cord and identified based on their surface markers.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disorder that damages beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and results in hyperglycemia due to the loss of insulin. Exogenous insulin therapy can save lives but does not stop disease progression. Thus, an effective therapy may require beta cell restoration and suppression of the autoimmune response.

Although graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, it is rare after solid organ transplantation (SOT) or blood transfusion. We present a rare case of SOT-derived and/or transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) in a 66-year-old man with interstitial lung disease who underwent bilateral lung transplantation (LT) from a 12-year-old female donor and required three units of packed red blood cells intraoperatively. He presented with signs and symptoms consistent with GVHD, and a bone marrow biopsy revealed an XX karyotype.

Purpose: Successful regeneration of cranial defects necessitates the use of porous bone fillers to facilitate cell proliferation and nutrient diffusion. Open porous microspheres, characterized by their high specific surface area and osteo-inductive properties, offer an optimal microenvironment for cell ingrowth and efficient ossification, potentially accelerating bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An in vitro investigation was conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, porosity, and biocompatibility of PHA-nano-clay open porous microspheres.
From the microspheres to scaffolds: advances in polymer microsphere scaffolds for bone regeneration applications.

The treatment and repair of bone tissue damage and loss due to infection, tumours, and trauma are major challenges in clinical practice. Artificial bone scaffolds offer a safer, simpler, and more feasible alternative to bone transplantation, serving to fill bone defects and promote bone tissue regeneration. Ideally, these scaffolds should possess osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osseointegrative properties.
