Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, a complication occurring early after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is a concern for clinicians. There are no guidelines to direct clinicians on the optimal way to prevent and treat this disease. Newer data show that defibrotide is a promising drug both for prevention and treatment, although it is not yet FDA approved.

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is a fundamental process in both physiological repair mechanisms and pathological conditions, including cancer and chronic inflammation. Hydrogels are commonly used as in vitro models to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) and support endothelial cell behavior during angiogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cells further augment cell and tissue growth and are therefore widely used in regenerative medicine.

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) has gained recognition as a rare form of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in recent years. Although extensively studied in the context of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the applicability of this knowledge to drug-induced HSOS remains limited due to distinct etiological factors. The primary causes of drug-induced HSOS include the ingestion of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)-containing plants, as well as the use of chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressive drugs.

Effects of Congestion in Human Lung Investigated Using Dual-Scale Porous Medium Models.

Heat Transfer and Thermal Power Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a primary chronic respiratory disease associated with pulmonary congestion that restricts airflow and thereby affects the exchange of gases between the alveoli and the blood capillaries in the lungs. Dual scale-global and local-porous medium models have been developed and reported in this work, to study the effects of air-side congestion on the blood-oxygen content in the alveolar region of the human lung. The human lung is model as a global, equivalent, heterogeneous porous medium comprising three zones with distinct permeabilities related to their progressively complex branching structure.

In this multicenter phase Ib trial, we investigated the combination of CPX-351 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cohort A received CPX-351 plus a single dose of GO, while cohort B received two doses of GO. Thirteen participants received investigational treatment.
