The aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) substantially alters their characteristics. Mitochondria, essential for cellular metabolism, play a crucial role, and their dysfunction is a hallmark of aging-induced changes. The impact of mitochondrial mass on aged HSCs remains incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that HSCs with high mitochondrial mass during aging are not merely cells that have accumulated damaged mitochondria and become exhausted. In addition, these HSCs retain a high regenerative capacity and remain in the aging bone marrow. Furthermore, we identified GPR183 as a distinct marker characterizing aged HSCs through single-cell analysis. HSCs marked by GPR183 were also enriched in aged HSCs with high mitochondrial mass, possessing a high capacity of self-renewal. These insights deepen understanding of HSC aging and provide additional perspectives on the assessment of aged HSCs, underscoring the importance of mitochondrial dynamics in aging.

Tumour cells, which are often found in the peripheral blood of patients with acute leukaemia, may harbour multiple somatic alterations throughout the genome, including changes in the HLA region and short tandem repeat (STR) regions. We investigated whether such somatic alterations interfere with HLA and chimerism diagnostics conducted in preparation for an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This study describes 10 patient-based cases for which laboratory diagnostics were performed prior to a possible stem cell transplant in the Maastricht University Medical Center.

The bone marrow microenvironment contains heterogeneous stromal cells, which are critical for bone remodeling and provide essential supportive roles for hematopoietic functions. Although the diversity of PDGFRαβ mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) get consensus, the osteo-lineage cells (OLCs) that constitute the developmental trajectory of osteoblasts are largely remain unclear. Here, we construct a comprehensive atlas of stromal cell via performing integrative single cell analyses for 77 samples from 14 datasets.

Uncovering early gene network changes of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) leading to differentiation induction is of utmost importance for therapeutic manipulation. We employed single cell proteo-transcriptomic sequencing to FACS-enriched bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from 15 healthy donors. Pseudotime analysis reveals four major differentiation trajectories, which remain consistent upon aging, with an early branching point into megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors.

A 46-year-old woman developed chronic skin graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with bilateral axillary lymph node (LN) swelling 7 months after cord blood transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. Histological examination of the LNs revealed dermatopathic lymphadenopathy (DL). After treatment with topical steroids, GVHD improved and lymphadenopathy subsided.
