Tissue engineering is becoming increasingly successful in providing in vitro models of human tissues that can be used for ex vivo recapitulation of functional tissues as well as predictive testing of drug efficacy and safety. From simple tissue models to microphysiological platforms comprising multiple tissue types connected by vascular perfusion, these "tissues on a chip" are emerging as a fast track application for tissue engineering, with great potential for modeling diseases and supporting the development of new drugs and therapeutic targets. We focus here on tissue engineering of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell compartment and the malignancies that can develop in the human bone marrow. Our overall goal is to demonstrate the utility and interconnectedness of improvements in bioengineering methods developed in one area of bone marrow studies for the remaining, seemingly disparate, bone marrow fields.

Introduction: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare disease, with unique diagnostic challenges and often dismal outcome. There are no widely accepted treatment guidelines available. Lymphoma-like regimens with or without autologous or allogenic transplantation were the cornerstone of most therapeutic concepts.

This study aims to explore the relationship between the gut microbiome, serum metabolome, and FR in chronic LBP patients.
Methods: Serum metabolomic profiling and gut microbiome analysis were conducted in chronic LBP patients with and without FR (LBP + FR, = 40; LBP, = 40) and Healthy Controls (HC, = 31).
Objectives The optimal dosing schedule strategy for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in healthy stem cell donors remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of once-daily versus twice-daily G-CSF administration in allogeneic stem cell donors. Materials and methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 388 healthy unrelated donors (282 males, 106 females) who underwent stem cell mobilization at our center between September 2018 and June 2022.

Background: Bone marrow (BM) in addition to being the origin of primary hematological malignancies is also commonly involved in metastatic solid tumors. Bone marrow examination includes aspiration and biopsy, and it is a well-known procedure not only to diagnose hematological malignancies but also for staging and prognosis of various solid tumors. The presence of metastasis in the bone marrow is of grave prognostic significance and it is imperative to rule out marrow involvement in any malignancy where curative treatment is considered.

Background: (Lanata) is generally used to treat pustule infection in Inner Mongolia folk medicine and is called "the holy medicine for pustule." However, the pharmacological mechanism of Lanata in treating pustule infection is still unclear.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Lanata on skin infection and explore the underlying mechanisms.
