Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) constitutes the most frequent complications after the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for a variety of hematological malignancies. In the present study, we explored the prophylactic potential of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) in controlling GVHD in murine models with a special focus on bone marrow aplasia related with acute GVHD. The CB6F1 mice were induced GVHD by the injection intravenously of C57BL/6 (B6-Ly-5.1) splenocytes without conditioning irradiation or chemotherapy. AD-MSCs from C3H mice were injected intravenously via tail veins. GVHD was assessed using flowcytometry analysis of peripheral blood cells and histopathologic analysis of target organs. Histopathological analyses revealed that AD-MSCs markedly suppressed the infiltration of lymphocytes into liver as well as the aplasia in bone marrow. This study is the first to clarify the effectiveness of AD-MSCs against bone marrow aplasia in GVHD, supporting a rationale of AD-MSCs for ameliorating bone marrow suppression and infectivity after allo-HSCT in human clinics.

Background: Activated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K) δ Syndrome (APDS), an inborn error of immunity due to upregulation of the PI3K pathway, leads to recurrent infections and immune dysregulation (lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity).
Methods: Clinical and genetic data of 28 APDS patients from 25 unrelated families were collected from fifteen Italian centers.
Results: Patients were genetically confirmed with APDS-1 (n = 20) or APDS-2 (n = 8), with pathogenic mutations in the PIK3CD or PIK3R1 genes.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous population of non-hematopoietic adult stem cells derived from the embryonic mesoderm. They possess self-renewal and multipotent differentiation capabilities, allowing them to give rise to mesodermal cell types, such as osteoblasts, chondroblasts, and adipocytes, as well as non-mesodermal cells, including neuron-like cells and endothelial cells. MSCs play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis across various tissues by facilitating tissue repair, immune regulation, and inflammatory response balance.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in a milieu that supports their functions, differentiation, and survival. This niche consists of several types of cells, including mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, endothelial cells, osteoblasts, megakaryocytes, macrophages, adipocytes, lymphoid cells, and nerve fibers. The interactions between these cells and HSCs have a role in HSC fate.

Dormancy is an adaptation in which cells reduce their metabolism, transcription, and translation to stay alive under stressful conditions, preserving the capacity to reactivate once the environment reverts to favorable conditions. Dormancy and reactivation of () are closely linked to intracellular residency within macrophages. Our previous work showed that murine macrophages rely on the viable but not cultivable (VBNC-a dormancy phenotype) fungus from active , with striking differences in immunometabolic gene expression.

Background: Pediatric patients with cancer have limited options to self-manage their health while they are undergoing treatments in the hospital and after they are discharged to their homes. Extended reality (ER) using head-mounted displays has emerged as an immersive method of improving pain and mental health and promoting health-enhancing physical activity among a variety of clinical groups, but there is currently no established protocol for improving both physical and mental health in pediatric cancer rehabilitation.
Objective: This phase I, pilot, feasibility randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the potential effects of a 14-week ER program on physical activity participation and indicators of health among pediatric patients with cancer who undergo bone marrow transplantation.
