Role of Hedgehog Signaling Pathways in Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiation
Cell Transplant. 2024 Jan-Dec;33:9636897241244943. doi: 10.1177/09636897241244943.ABSTRACTMultipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have high self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation potentials and low immunogenicity, so they have attracted much attention in the field of regenerative medicine and have a promising clinical application. MSCs originate from the mesoderm and can differentiate not only into osteoblasts, cartilage, adipocytes, and muscle cells but also into ectodermal and endodermal cell lineages across embryonic layers. To design cell therapy for replacement of damaged tissues, it is essential to understa...

Persistent Cytopenia After CD19 CAR T Therapy in Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL Patients Could Be a Predictor of Efficacy and Side Effects
Cell Transplant. 2024 Jan-Dec;33:9636897241247951. doi: 10.1177/09636897241247951.ABSTRACTHematological toxicity is a severe adverse event (AE) in anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the pathophysiological mechanism underlying prolonged cytopenia and the relationship between persistent cytopenia, efficacy, and AEs after anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy are unknown. Therefore, this study explored whether persistent cytopenia after anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in patients with R/R DLBCL can predict therapeutic efficacy and AEs. Thi...

From the Clinical to the Bench: Exploring the Insulin Modulation Effects of Tacrolimus and Belatacept
This study investigates whether the observed effects on PTD stem solely from CNI withdrawal or if belatacept influences PTD independently. The study assessed the impact of tacrolimus and belatacept on insulin secretion in MIN6 cells (a beta cell line) and rat islets. Tacrolimus and belatacept were administered to the cells and islets, followed by assessments of cell viability and insulin secretion. Tacrolimus impaired insulin secretion without affecting cell viability, while belatacept showed no detrimental effects on either parameter. These findings support clinical observations of improved HbA1c upon switching from tacro...
