Objective: To determine the significance of morphology of bone marrow smear for diagnosis of bone marrow involvement in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to study the morphological characteristics of DLBCL cells involved in bone marrow.
Methods: Four hundred and twenty cases of DLBCL diagnosed at Peking Union Hospital from 2006 to 2016 were analyzed and identified.
Results: Blinded analysis of bone marrow smear and bone marrow biopsy data showed involvement in 42 cases on smears (S), in 47cases by biopsy (B) and the in 49 cases by (S+B). There was an excellent correlation between 2 methods diagnosing the bone marrow infiltration of DLBCL independently (κ=0.889). The morphological features of DLBCL cells involved in bone marrow were of medium sizes, round or irregular nuclear. The chromatin presented dark purple rea and coarse granular, and most of them had 1-5 nucleoli. The amount of cytoplasm was moderate with the color of dark blue or greyish blue. Vacuoles and pseudopodia were common.
Conclusion: The morphological examination of bone marrow cells has a certain role in the diagnosing bone marrow involvement in patients with DLBCL, and the atypical lymphoid cells making up ≥1% of the total nucleated cells highly suggests the bone marrow involvement in the patients with DLBCL.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

The December 2024 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Mesoblast's Ryoncil (remestemcel-L-rknd)-allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC(M)) therapy-in pediatric acute steroid-refractory graft-versus-host-disease finally ended a long-lasting drought on approved MSC clinical products in the United States. While other jurisdictions-including Europe, Japan, India, and South Korea-have marketed autologous or allogeneic MSC products, the United States has lagged in its approval. The sponsor's significant efforts and investments, working closely with the FDA addressing concerns regarding clinical efficacy and consistent MSC potency through an iterative process that spanned several years, was rewarded with this landmark approval.

How macrophages in the tissue environment integrate multiple stimuli depends on the genetic background of the host, but this is still poorly understood. We investigate IL-4 activation of male C57BL/6 and BALB/c strain specific in vivo tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) from the peritoneal cavity. C57BL/6 TRMs are more transcriptionally responsive to IL-4 stimulation, with induced genes associated with more super enhancers, induced enhancers, and topologically associating domains (TAD) boundaries.

Tangier disease is an extremely rare autosomal recessive monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 gene (ABCA1). It is characterized by severe deficiency or absence of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1), with highly variable clinical presentations depending on cholesterol accumulation in macrophages across different tissues. We report a case of a 47-year-old man with very low HDL-C and very high triglyceride levels, initially attributed to the patient's metabolic syndrome, alcohol abuse, and splenomegaly.
