surgery and autotransplantation may provide a promising option for radical resection of conventionally unresectable liver tumors. Two cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which has an "awkward seat" located in the "intrahepatic vascular triangle area (IVTA)" that consists of the middle hepatic vein (MHV), the right branches of the Glisson sheath, and the inferior vena cava (IVC), underwent extended right-half hepatectomy followed by tumor resection and partial liver autotransplantation. Innovatively, the outflow of the tumor-free liver was reconstructed using pre-frozen allograft blood vessels from brain-dead donors; the patients recovered well postoperation.

Bone marrow chimera is a useful tool to determine the pathophysiological contributions of hematopoietic versus stromal compartments. Here, we present a protocol for lethal irradiation of wild-type C57BL/6J recipient mice followed by the transplantation of bone marrow from mTomato-expressing donors. We then detail procedures for animal distress scoring and assessment of reconstitution efficiency.

Background: Beta-thalassemias (BTs) are characterized by deficient or absent synthesis of the beta-globin subunit, leading to anemia. Patient characteristics and treatment patterns in these patients may vary.
Objective: This retrospective study evaluated demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns in patients with transfusion-dependent BT (TDT) and non-transfusion-dependent BT (NTDT).

Bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN) is one of three known types of naturally transmissible cancer-cancers in which the whole cancer cells move from individual to individual, spreading through natural populations. BTN is a lethal leukemia-like cancer that has been observed throughout soft-shell clam () populations on the east coast of North America, with two distinct sublineages circulating at low enzootic levels in New England, USA, and Prince Edward Island, Canada. Major cancer outbreaks likely due to BTN (MarBTN) were reported in 1980s and the 2000s and the disease has been observed since the 1970s, but it has not been observed in populations of this clam species on the US west coast.

An Ara-C-containing intensified induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is considered a highly effective treatment strategy in younger mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients, inducing long-lasting remissions. However, ASCT is also hampered by acute and delayed toxicity. Thus, alternative first-line treatment strategies without ASCT but including novel agents are under investigation.
