Allogeneic stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains the only treatment option for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recurrence of leukemic cells after ASCT represents a dramatic event associated with a dismal outcome, with a 2-year survival rate of around 20%. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a form of cell-based strategy that has emerged as an effective therapy to treat and prevent post-ASCT recurrence. Lymphocytes are the principal cells used in this therapy and can be derived from a hematopoietic stem cell donor, the patient themselves, or healthy donors, after being engineered to express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T and UniCAR-T). In this review, we discuss recent advances in the established strategy of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) and the progress and challenges of CAR-T cells.

Background: Complex perianal fistulas, challenging to treat and prone to recurrence, often require surgical intervention that may cause fecal incontinence and lower quality of life due to large surgical wounds and potential sphincter damage. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) and their exosomes (hUCMSCs-Exo) may promote wound healing.
Methods: This study assessed the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of these exosomes in treating complex perianal fistulas in SD rats.

Background: Promoting muscle regeneration through stem cell therapy has potential risks. We investigated the effect of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) Exosomes (Exo) Follistatin on muscle regeneration.
Methods: The Exo was derived from UMSCs cells and was utilized to affect the mice muscle injury model and C2C12 cells myotubes atrophy model.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques, phosphorylated tau tangles and microglia toxicity, resulting in neuronal death and cognitive decline. Since microglia are recognized as one of the key players in the disease, it is crucial to understand how microglia operate in disease conditions and incorporate them into models. The studies on human microglia functions are thought to reflect the post-symptomatic stage of the disease.

The cell nuclei of Ophisthokonts, the eukaryotic supergroup defined by fungi and metazoans, is remarkable in the constancy of their double-membraned structure in both somatic and germ cells. Such remarkable structural conservation underscores common and ancient evolutionary origins. Yet, the dynamics of disassembly and reassembly displayed by Ophisthokont nuclei vary extensively.

New surgical techniques for the treatment of scaphoid non-union, developed in the last two decades, now enable a healing rate of 80-90%. However, no consensus exists for the surgical treatment of non-union. On the other hand, regenerative medicine techniques have enriched the therapeutic armamentarium for non-union, especially in the lower limbs, with the use of autologous concentrated bone marrow injection using autologous osteogenic precursors to create a favorable microenvironment for bone healing.
