Background: We conducted a multi-center retrospective non-randomized study to clarify roles of 2 and 3 gr/m doses of Cyclophosphamide (Cy) for stem cell mobilization in Multiple Myeloma.
Material And Methods: This study analyzed 169 adult patients who received Cy-based mobilization regimen at doses 2 and 3 gr/m between 2018 and 2024. All patients included in this study were 18 years old and older. Patients divided into two groups; group 1 represents 2 gr/m treated patients, and group 2 represents 3 gr/m dosing. These two groups then compared in terms of CD34 cell number collected by apheresis, apheresis days, peak peripheral blood CD34 value and rates of mobilization failures.
Results: Higher doses of Cy yielded more hematopoietic stem cells compared to the lower dose Cy [10.00 (3.00-28.90) vs 9.01 (5.00-14.90), p = 0.002]; while mobilization failures and apheresis days were comparable across groups (p = 0.112 and p = 0.648, respectively). Apheresis days required for adequate stem cell harvest among groups was found statistically similar (p = 0.648).
Conclusion: This study indicated the superior efficacy of 3 gr/m dose of Cy in terms of stem cell yield. However, mobilization failure and prolonged apheresis sessions were not issues with lower doses.

The stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a difficulty in urology and current sub-urethral sling treatments are associated with inflamation and recurrence. In this study, we developed a novel tissue-engineered sling with myogenic induced adiposederived stem cells (MI-ADSCs) sheets induced by 5-Aza and combined with electrospun scaffolds of silk fibroin and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (SF/PLGA) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. MI-ADSCs increased α-SMA, MyoD and Desmin the mRNA and protein expression.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare and progressive disease, due to inactivating mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene. These pathogenic variants result in elevated circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), responsible for the main clinical manifestations of XLH, such as hypophosphatemia, skeletal deformities, and mineralization defects. However, XLH also involves muscular disorders (muscle weakness, pain, reduced muscle density, peak strength, and power).

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Primary microcephaly, a rare congenital condition characterized by reduced brain size, occurs due to impaired neurogenesis during brain development. Through whole-exome sequencing, we identified compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in CENTRIN 3 (CETN3) in a 5-year-old patient with primary microcephaly. As CETN3 has not been previously linked to microcephaly, we investigated its potential function in neurodevelopment in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids.
