HIV-Infected Patients

Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 2009
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) or allogeneic SCT can lead to durable remissions in patients with hematologic malignancies. In the mid-1980s the first studies demonstrating the use of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) for autologous transplantation instead of bone marrow (BM) were performed.

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.
