High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the standard of care for eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma leading to prolonged progression free and overall survival. Successful engraftment following hematopoietic stem cell infusion requires adequate stem cell doses. Current mobilization regimens include granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with or without plerixafor. Motixafortide is a recently approved agent that can be used in combination with G-CSF for mobilization. In the absence of any head-to-head trials comparing the two products, this article aims to outline the similarities and differences of these two agents. Though moxitafortide has a more favorable pharmacokinetic profile in comparison to plerixafor, in clinical trials, the agents demonstrated similar efficacy. In addition, the use of motixafortide in clinical practice may be limited by product cost as well as administration and monitoring requirements.

We previously used a disease-specific B cell receptor (BCR) point mutation (IGLV3-21R110) for selective targeting of a high-risk subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Since CLL is a disease of the elderly and a significant fraction of patients is not able to physically tolerate CAR T cell treatment, we explored bispecific antibodies as an alternative for precision targeting of this tumor mutation. Heterodimeric IgG1-based antibodies consisting of a fragment crystallizable region (Fc) attached to both an anti-IGLV3-21R110 Fab and an anti-CD3 (UCHT1) single chain variable fragment (R110-bsAb) selectively killed cell lines engineered to express high levels of the neoepitope as well as primary CLL cells using healthy donor and CLL patient-derived T cells as effectors.

Patient age might influence donor selection priorities in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT), due to the differences in donor age, organ function, and resistance to graft-versus-host disease between younger and older patients. We compared the transplant outcomes among human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donors (M-RDs, n=4,106), HLA 1-antigen-mismatched related donors (1MM-RDs, n=592), HLA 2-3-antigen-mismatched related donors (23MM-RDs, n=882), HLA-matched unrelated donors (M-UDs, n=3,927), HLA 1-locus-mismatched unrelated donors (1MM-UDs, n=2,474), and unrelated cord blood units (U-CBs, n=5,867) between patients aged.

The microtubule motor dynein-2 is responsible for retrograde intraflagellar transport (IFT), a process critical for cilia assembly and cilium-dependent signaling. Mutations in genes encoding dynein-2 subunits interfere with ciliogenesis and are among the most frequent causes of skeletal ciliopathies. Despite its importance, little is known regarding dynein-2 assembly and regulation.

Background And Aims: Gut-liver axis has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cirrhosis due to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), an in vitro model for studying epithelial gut dysfunction in MASLD is lacking. In this study, we aimed to characterise intestinal organoids derived from subjects with MASLD.
Materials And Methods: Intestinal organoids were obtained from duodenal samples of individuals with non-fibrotic MASLD and with MASLD-cirrhosis.
