AI Article Synopsis
- The optimal conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes has been actively researched for years.
- Solh et al's analysis reveals significant differences in patient outcomes based on the intensity of conditioning therapy, especially highlighting the benefits of myeloablative conditioning in low and intermediate-risk groups.
- The study suggests the need for further prospective trials to refine treatment approaches for these patients.
Article Abstract
The search for the optimal conditioning regimen before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) has been ongoing for decades. In this issue, Solh et al present an original analysis evaluating the impact of conditioning intensity on different disease risk index (DRI) groups of patients with AML and MDS. An impressive difference was observed in outcomes between reduced-intensity conditioning and myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimens in the low/intermediate-risk disease groups, supporting the use of MAC in this population. Further prospective trials in this population are encouraged.

Background: Aging induces degenerative processes in the body, contributing to the onset of various age-associated diseases that affect the population. Inadequate dietary habits and low physical activity are major contributors to increased morbidity during aging. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and physical activity on the markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanisms in aged male Wistar rats (23-24 months).

Background: Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to a deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A) activity. Our goal was to correct the enzyme deficiency in Fabry patients by transferring the cDNA for α-gal A into their CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Overexpression of α-gal A leads to secretion of the hydrolase; which can be taken up and used by uncorrected bystander cells.

Recent studies suggest that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) represent aversive information and signal a general alarm to the forebrain. If CGRP neurons serve as a true general alarm, their activation would modulate both passive nad active defensive behaviors depending on the magnitude and context of the threat. However, most prior research has focused on the role of CGRP neurons in passive freezing responses, with limited exploration of their involvement in active defensive behaviors.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with the development of vascular damage in the heart. In this study, the researchers aimed to determine whether Aerobic Training (AT) and Vitamin D supplementation (Vit D) could alleviate heart complications and vascular damage caused by diabetes. The effects of an eight-week AT program and Vit D on the expression of miR-1, IGF-1 genes, and VEGF-B in the cardiomyocytes of rats with T2DM.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. Driver mutations are the pathophysiological hallmark of the disease, but the role of mutation clearance after transplantation is unclear.
Methods: We used highly sensitive polymerase-chain-reaction technology to analyze the dynamics of driver mutations in peripheral-blood samples from 324 patients with myelofibrosis (73% with mutations, 23% with mutations, and 4% with mutations) who were undergoing transplantation after reduced-intensity conditioning.
