Background: High dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) remains the preferred first line consolidation strategy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). However, The role of HDT/ASCT in first relapse is uncertain in the context of novel therapies. This study evaluates real-world outcomes of MM patients in first relapse, focusing on the role of consolidative HDT/ASCT.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) as a common clinical issue that presents significant challenges for repair. Factors such as donor site morbidity from autologous transplantation, slow recovery of long-distance nerve damage, and deficiencies in local cytokines and extracellular matrix contribute to the complexity of effective PNI treatment. It is extremely urgent to develop functional nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) as substitutes for nerve autografts.

In clinical scenarios, bone defects stemming from trauma, infections, degenerative diseases, or hereditary conditions necessitate considerable bone grafts. Researchers ardently focus on creating diverse biomaterials to expedite and enhance these intricate restorative processes. These biomaterials play a pivotal role in aiding osteogenesis and angiogenesis factors for reconstructing stable, fully developed bone tissue.

Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a treatment option for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) that are refractory to disease-modifying therapy (DMT). AHSCT after failure of high-efficacy DMT in aggressive forms of relapsing-remitting MS is a generally accepted indication, yet the optimal placement of this approach in the treatment sequence is not universally agreed upon. Uncertainties also remain with respect to other indications, such as in rapidly evolving, severe, treatment-naive MS, progressive MS, and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

Diseases and injuries can cause significant bone loss, leading to increased medical expenses, decreased work efficiency, and a decline in quality of life. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is gaining attention as an alternative to autologous and allogeneic transplantation due to the limited availability of donors. Biomaterials represent a promising strategy for bone regeneration, and their design should consider the three key processes in bone tissue engineering: osteogenesis, bone conduction, and bone induction.
