Article Abstract

Studying fetal hematopoiesis is challenging as hematopoiesis transitions from the liver to bone marrow. Obtaining human samples is not possible, and small animal models may not provide sufficient biological material. Here, we present a protocol for isolating hematopoietic cells from the nonhuman primate fetal liver and bone. We describe steps for using cells from the same fetus for fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to measure metabolism, assessing cellular function, and flow cytometry for immunophenotyping at the single-cell level. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Nash et al. (2023)..

Background/aims: Despite medical advances in recent decades, the mortality rate of advanced liver cirrhosis remains high. Although liver transplantation remains the most effective treatment, candidate selection is limited by donor availability and alcohol abstinence requirements. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) transplantation has shown promise for the treatment of advanced cirrhosis.

Recent years have seen the development and advent of novel combinatorial strategies based on immunotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) - based treatment has established itself as a mainstay in the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). Herein, we aimed to validate the prognostic value of a previously developed score, the Prognostic Immunotherapy Score (PIS), including female sex, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) and liver metastases, in patients treated with pembrolizumab for advanced UC from the ARON-2 dataset. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from Metastatic UC patients diagnosed at age ≥ 18 years.

Background: Pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are at high risk for fungal infections including Candida, Aspergillus, and Mucorales necessitating the use of broad-spectrum antifungal agents such as posaconazole for prophylaxis and at times for treatment of invasive fungal infections. When first approved, posaconazole was limited to an immediate release oral suspension, which exhibited unreliable absorption dependent on co-administration with high fat meals. During HSCT, patients commonly have significant nausea, vomiting, and decreased enteral intake making this formulation particularly challenging.

Royal jelly (RJ), secreted by honeybees, contains major fatty acids such as 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10H2DA) and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10HDAA), which are considered to contribute to bone metabolism. However, these fatty acids are rapidly metabolized in the liver following ingestion, resulting in 2-decenoic acid (2DA) and sebacic acid (SA), respectively. Therefore, elucidating the roles of these metabolites in bone metabolism is of considerable importance.

Background: Despite durable benefits of ipilimumab and nivolumab in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), early progressive disease (PD), defined as disease progression within 3 months, occurs, and its predictors remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with early PD in patients with mRCC treated with this regimen.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of a multi-institutional database identified 193 patients with mRCC treated with ipilimumab plus nivolumab.
