Notch-induced mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) mediate a distinct mechanism of repair after brain injury by forming a biobridge that facilitates biodistribution of host cells from a neurogenic niche to the area of injury. We have observed the biobridge in an area between the subventricular zone and the injured cortex using immunohistochemistry and laser capture. Cells in the biobridge express high levels of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP-9, which co-localized with a trail of MSCs graft.

Background: HLA antibodies may be directed against HLA antigens on RBCs, but these antibodies are generally not considered to be clinically significant in transfusion practice. A case of a multiparous woman who had hemolytic transfusion reactions due to HLA-related Bg antibodies is reported.

Case Report: A 37-year-old woman was admitted with anemia.
