Crohn's disease (CD) is a relapse-remitting inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive system. This heterogeneous disease has multiple factors that contribute to an abnormal immune response to intestinal microorganisms. Treatment is based on the use of anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and biologic biologic agents either alone or in combination. Surgical treatment is usual and, ten years after diagnosis, more than 80% of patients report having undergone surgical procedures related to the disease. Unfortunately, none of the treatments described offer a cure, and many cases become refractory or without therapeutic options. In this scenario, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been suggested because clinical remission was obtained in patients who had CD associated with malignant hematological diseases and an alternative since the first reports in 2010. In this report, the Transplantation Committee of the Brazilian Group for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases reviews the history and results of the procedure in patients with CD, detailing and discussing the various relevant points that permeate hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cell therapy in this disease.

Background: Informal caregivers may face challenges, especially during the pre-transplant phase. We have learned about the challenges faced by informal caregivers during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; there is a lack of consensus about the challenges faced by them before transplantation. We identified the psychosocial well-being of informal caregivers to patients before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is initially highly sensitive to chemotherapy, which often leads to significant tumor reduction. However, the majority of patients eventually develop resistance, and the disease is further complicated by its "cold" tumor microenvironment, characterized by low tumor immunogenicity and limited CD8+ T cell infiltration. These factors contribute to the poor response to immunotherapy in many cases of extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC).

To investigate the effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the biological performance of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) under oxidative stress status induced by hydrogen peroxide (HO). The hDPSCs were isolated by using tissue block separation method from healthy permanent teeth extracted for orthodontic reason. hDPSCs surface markers CD34, CD45, CD90 and CD105 were detected by flow cytometry.

Nephrotic syndrome is characterised by heavy proteinuria secondary to glomerular injury. It is an uncommon but serious complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), but rarely reported after autologous HSCT. Here, we report the case of a man in his mid-20s who presented with significant peripheral oedema 2 months after autologous HSCT for Hodgkin lymphoma.

Background: While immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a well-defined adverse effect associated with chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell (CAR-T) therapy, some patients develop prolonged neurologic symptoms. Few studies have examined characteristics and outcomes of patients who develop such symptoms.
Objective: To provide an analysis of patients who developed ICANS in a single-center cohort of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who received commercial CAR-T and compare characteristics and outcomes between patients with vs.
