Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is a rare disorder that can develop malignant and nonmalignant hematological complications. Overall, 10% to 20% of Shwachman-Diamond patients need hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but most centers have a limited experience and different approaches. The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation-Severe Aplastic Anaemia Working Party promoted an expert consensus to propose recommendations regarding key issues in the management of Shwachman-Diamond patients with hematological complications. The main items identified as relevant for improving survival were: the importance of regular and structured hematologic follow-up, the potential reduction of transplant-related mortality by using reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, the limitation of total body irradiation, particularly for non-malignant severe cytopenia/bone marrow failure, the early diagnosis of clonal malignant evolution and early recognition of an indication for HSCT. Finally, the poor results of HSCT in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, irrespective of cytoreductive chemotherapy treatment received prior to transplantation, highlights the need for innovative approaches. © 2023 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Chitosan is a promising biomaterial for tissue engineering, but its functionality is limited by a lack of bioactive sites. This study develops chitosan/amniotic membrane microcarriers to enhance vascularization and tissue regeneration for subcutaneous adipose tissue. The incorporation of decellularized amniotic membrane enhances the bioactivities of chitosan in promoting cell differentiation and angiogenesis.

Microplastics (MPs) are known as substantial environmental and health threats because of their pervasive existence and potential function in human diseases. This study is the first research in which a comprehensive analysis of various impacts of MPs on cancer cells is performed through pharmacological and in silico approaches. Moreover, our results demonstrate that MPs have both promotive and suppressive impacts on cancer cells, changing some of the important features of these kinds of cells including cellular viability, migration, metastasis, and apoptosis.

Neurogenic microRNAs 9/9 and 124 (miR-9/9-124) drive the direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts into neurons with the initiation of the fate erasure of fibroblasts. However, whether the miR-9/9-124 fate erasure logic extends to the neuronal conversion of other somatic cell types remains unknown. Here, we uncover that miR-9/9-124 induces neuronal conversion of multiple cell types: dura fibroblasts, astrocytes, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes.

Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In severe cases, SOS/VOD progresses to multiple organ failure with a mortality rate higher than 80%. Early diagnosis and treatment based on severity assessment improve the prognosis of severe SOS/VOD, but conventional diagnostic criteria may be insufficient for an early diagnosis.

A common digestive system cancer with a dismal prognosis and a high death rate globally is breast cancer (BRCA). BRCA recurrence, metastasis, and medication resistance are all significantly impacted by cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, the relationship between CSCs and the tumor microenvironment in BRCA individuals remains unknown, and this information is critically needed.
