The comparative study of the protein markers of the membrane surface of the autologous hematopoietic stem cells (СD34+ СD45+) was performed to detect the patterns of the proteomic profiles, if any. The study included five groups. The subpopulations of the hematopoietic stem cells were studied in 569 samples of the mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells from adult cancer cases (group 1), 557 samples from children cancer cases (group 2), 66 samples from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases (group 3), 5 samples from other neurodegenerative diseases cases (supplementary group 4) and 61 samples isolated from healthy donors (control group 5). The protein markers of the membrane surface of the autologous hematopoietic stem cells were mapped and profiled with flow cytometry. The specific patterns of the proteomic profiles characteristic for cancer and neurodegenerative disease and different from those of healthy donors were identified. The authors suppose that as far as the HSC is the parent cell of the immune system cells, the modification of its proteomic profile speaks of specific immune insufficiency that not only accompanies the disease but presents the key cause for its onset and precedes its clinical manifestation. Thus, the evaluation of the protein markers of the membrane surface of hematopoietic stem cells can be used for ultra early diagnosis of these diseases.

Treatment options for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) have increased in the era of targeted therapies such as brentuximab vedotin (BV) and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) inhibitors. However, there is no standard treatment and limited published data evaluating their use. The goal of this retrospective study is to describe current real-world treatment and outcomes of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with R/R ALK-positive ALCL.

Immunocompromised individuals were considered high-risk for severe disease due to SARS COV-2 infection. This study aimed to describe the safety of two doses of COVID-19 adsorbed inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac; Sinovac/Butantan), followed by additional doses of mRNA BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) in immunocompromised (IC) adults, compared to immunocompetent/healthy (H) individuals. This phase 4, multicenter, open label study included solid organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, cancer patients and people with inborn errors of immunity with defects in antibody production, rheumatic, end-stage chronic kidney or liver disease, who were enrolled in the IC group.

Epigenetic regulation in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) research has emerged as a transformative molecular approach that enhances understanding of hematopoiesis and hematological disorders. This chapter investigates the intricate epigenetic mechanisms that control HSCs function, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling. It also explores the role of non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNAs) as epigenetic regulators, highlighting how changes in gene expression can occur without alterations to the DNA sequence.

Donor cell leukemia (DCL), in which malignancy evolves from donor's stem cells, is an infrequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) derived from donor cell is extremely rare and only four cases have been reported to date. Herein we report a case of donor cell-derived APL developing 32 months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide for myelodysplastic syndromes.

Surface antigen-directed immunotherapy is a curative treatment modality for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is characterized by the abundance and stability expression of surface antigens. However, current surface antigen-directed immunotherapies have shown poor outcomes and undesirable mortality rates in treating AML patients, primarily due to acquired resistance that arises from using single-target therapies to address the heterogeneous expression of surface antigens. Hence, in order to improve the efficacy of antigen-specific therapies for treating AML, we designed a bispecific aptamer-drug conjugate.
