Aim: We determined the frequency of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and overall survival (OS) in sex matched vs mismatched transplant.
Methods: Medical records were analyzed of patients undergoing transplant from 2004 to 2016. Variables included age, sex of patient and donor, indication, conditioning regimen, stem cell source, frequency of GvHD and OS.
Results: We performed n = 162 allogeneic stem cell transplants. The most common conditioning regimen was busulfan/cyclophosphamide (n = 64). There was no difference in the frequency of GvHD in both groups. The transplant related mortality was higher (8.7%) in sex-mismatched transplants. The OS in both groups was similar.
Conclusion: Our study showed higher transplant-related mortality in sex-mismatched transplant. There was no difference in GvHD and OS in both groups.

Dysregulated lipid metabolism within the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a critical hallmark of cancer progression, with lipids serving as a major energy source for tumor cells. Beyond their role in cell membrane synthesis, lipids also provide essential substrates for biomolecule production and activate signaling pathways that regulate various cellular processes. Aberrant lipid metabolism impacts not only function but also alters the behavior of immune and stromal cells within the TME.

Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA) are a significant cause of infertility and miscarriage, often resulting from trauma to the endometrium. While hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is the primary treatment, the use of hydrogels as anti-adhesion barriers and drug delivery systems is gaining traction for improving patient outcomes. This review aims to explore various hydrogel types, their role in tissue repair, and the integration of stem cell therapy.

As light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) becomes widely available, reconstruction of time-lapse imaging will further our understanding of complex biological processes at cellular resolution. Here, we present a comprehensive workflow for in toto capture, processing, and analysis of multi-view LSFM experiments using the ex vivo mouse embryo as a model system of development. Our protocol describes imaging on a commercial LSFM instrument followed by computational analysis in discrete segments, using open-source software.

CD226 plays a vital role in natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, interacting with its ligands CD112 and CD155 to initiate immune synapse formation, primarily through leukocyte function-associated-1 (LFA-1). Our study examined the role of CD226 in NK cell surveillance of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). NK cells in patients with AML had lower expression of CD226.
