The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of long-term cryopreserved umbilical cord blood (CB) units for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The recovery of the number of total nucleated cell (TNC), hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs; CD34+ cells, colony-forming units-granulocyte/macrophages [CFU-GMs]), and the percentage of viable cells, CD34+ CD38- cells, and CD34+ CXCR4+ cells of CB units cryopreserved for 10 years for HCT were examined. Eighteen CB units cryopreserved for 10 years (as the study group) and for 1 month (as the control group), respectively, were analyzed. The recovery rate of TNC, CD34+ cells and CFU-GMs were 88.72 ± 16.40, 68.39 ± 18.37 and 42.28 ± 38.16% for the study group and 80.17 ± 14.46, 72.67 ± 20.38 and 49.61 ± 36.39% for the control group (p = 0.106, p = 0.513 and p = 0.559, respectively). There were no significant differences in the recovery rate of TNC, CD34+ cells and CFU-GMs between the study group and the control group. The mean basal percentage of viable cells, CD34+ CD38- cells, and CD34+ CXCR4+ cells after thawing were 83.69 ± 9.45, 9.11 ± 4.13 and 81.65 ± 10.82% for the study group. These results indicate that long-term cryopreservation does not negatively affect the quality of CB units for HCT.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in pediatric. In highrisk NB patients, the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) remains a stark < 50 % with conventional therapies. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with high dose chemotherapies was used in poor prognosis and high-risk patients.

The Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) are a family of innate immune cells composed by the Natural Killer (NK) cells and the helper ILCs (hILCs) (ILC1, ILC2, ILC3), both developing from a common ILC precursor (ILCP) derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). A correct ILC reconstitution is crucial, particularly in patients receiving HSC transplantation (HSCT), the only therapeutic option for many adult and pediatric high-risk hematological malignancies. Indeed, mainly thanks to their cytotoxic activity, NK cells have a strong Graft-versus-Leukemia (GvL) effect.

Introduction And Importance: Retiform hemangioendothelioma(RH) is a rare vascular tumor affecting patients over a wide age range without a gender predilection; only about 50 cases have been described so far.
Case Presentation: We report a case of submandibular retiform hemangioendothelioma in a 58-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with RH 20 years ago and had experienced recurrence four times during the past 20 years. This will increase the limited number of such cases in the hope of gaining a better understanding of this rare type of tumor.

Impaired bladder compliance secondary to congenital or acquired bladder dysfunction can lead to irreversible kidney damage. This is managed with surgical augmentation utilizing intestinal tissue, which can cause stone formation, infections, and malignant transformation. Co-seeded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSPC) scaffolds (PRS) have been successful in regenerating bladder tissue.

Myeloid malignancies are heterogenous disorders characterized by distinct molecular drivers but share convergence of oncogenic signaling pathways and propagation by ripe pro-inflammatory niches. Here, we establish a comprehensive transcriptional atlas across the spectrum of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) through RNA-sequencing of 158 primary samples encompassing CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and CD14+ monocytes. Supported by mass cytometry (CyTOF) profiling, we reveal aberrant networks of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling and NFκB-mediated hyper-inflammation.
