Sowing the Seeds of a Fruitful Harvest: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative option for a number of malignant and non-malignant diseases. As the use of hematopoietic transplant has expanded, so too has the source of stem and progenitor cells.

Inspired by the structural and functional characteristics of bone, bionic nanomaterials combined with nanotechnology can more accurately replicate stem cell niches, enabling the design of bone tissue engineering scaffolds with diverse nanoscale properties to promote stem cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. This precise control over stem

A Comparison of Allogeneic and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia [PDF]
Introduction: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) is a clonal malignant disease of hematopoietic tissue. The early use of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) for AML was for patients with advanced stages of disease, usually while in relapse, in

Dynamical System Modeling to Simulate Donor T Cell Response to Whole Exome Sequencing-Derived Recipient Peptides Demonstrates Different Alloreactivity Potential In HLA-Matched and Mismatched Donor-Recipient Pairs [PDF]
Stem cell transplants may be considered as dynamical systems to allow sequence differences across the exomes of the transplant donors and recipients to be used to simulate an alloreactive T cell response. Whole exome sequencing was performed on HLA matched stem cell transplant donor-recipient pairs, and the nucleotide sequence differences translated to

Separable pathway effects of semi-competing risks using multi-state models [PDF]
Semi-competing risks refer to the phenomenon where a primary event (such as mortality) can ``censor'' an intermediate event (such as relapse of a disease), but not vice versa. Under the multi-state model, the primary event consists of two specific types: the direct outcome event and an indirect outcome event developed from intermediate events.

Autologous stem cell transplantation in Hodgkin's disease
The majority of patients with Hodgkin’s disease (HD) are curable with first-line therapy; however, 10–20% of patients with advanced HD will not enter complete remission (CR) with conventional first-line therapy and a further 20–30% will relapse after having initially achieved CR [1–3].

Polyomavirus Nephropathy in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
BK virus was first detected in the urine of a renal transplant recipient in 1971 and was named after the recipient.1 BK virus is usually acquired in childhood2 via respiratory transmission, and remains in the uroepithelium of immunocompetent individuals.3 The seroprevalence in adults is 82% to 99%,4 with low-level viruria seen in 5% to 20% of ...

Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications
Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.
