Human umbilical cord bloods were fractionated by unit gravity sedimentation in 1% (v/v) dextran, followed by immunoaffinity selection for CD34+ stem and progenitor cells. Dextran sedimentation alone enabled recovery of more than 80% of the nucleated cells present and 90% of the CD34+ cells, as determined by flow cytometry. The addition of an immunoaffinity selection step for CD34+ cells resulted in a 134-fold enrichment for CD34+ cells, with a mean yield of 64 +/- 15%. The resultant CD34+ population contained almost half the CFU-GM activity initially present in the cord bloods and could be expanded ex vivo in liquid culture.

Osteoarthritis (OA) shows various clinical manifestations depending on the status of its joint components. We aimed to identify the synovial cell subsets responsible for OA pathophysiology by comprehensive analyses of human synovium samples in single-cell resolution. Two distinct OA synovial tissue groups were classified by gene expression profiles in RNA-Seq: inflammatory and fibrotic.

In recent years, bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-derived MSCs) have emerged as a powerful cell-based therapy for various diseases, including male infertility. Demonstrating the efficiency of BM-derived MSCs transplantation by different routes of injection to home and repair testis of busulfan-induced azoospermic rats. In the present study, rat BM-derived MSC was isolated and characterized for mesenchymal &hematopoietic markers using flow-cytometry.

BCR::ABL1-like B-lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) neoplasms lack the BCR::ABL1 translocation but have a gene expression profile like BCR::ABL1 positive B-ALL. This includes alterations in cytokine receptors and signalling genes, such as and Cases with CRLF2 rearrangements account for approximately 50% of cases of Philadelphia-like acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph-like ALL), and the frequency of specific genomic lesions varies with ethnicity such that IGH::CRLF2 translocations are more common in Hispanics and Native Americans.We report two cases of BCR::ABL1-like ALL, with significant eosinophilia.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are susceptible to replication stress, which is a major contributor to HSC defects in Fanconi anemia (FA). Here, we report that HSCs relax the global chromatin by downregulating the expression of a chromatin architectural protein, DEK, in response to replication stress. DEK is abnormally accumulated in bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cells from patients with FA and in Fancd2-deficient HSCs.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in pediatric. In highrisk NB patients, the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) remains a stark < 50 % with conventional therapies. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with high dose chemotherapies was used in poor prognosis and high-risk patients.
