Generation of Allogeneic CAR-NKT Cells from Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Using a Clinically Guided Culture Method

[Nature Biotechnology] The authors described a clinically guided method to differentiate and expand IL-15-enhanced allogeneic CAR-NKT cells with high yield and purity.

Efficacy and Safety of Novel Multifunctional M10 CAR-T Cells in HIV-1-Infected Patients: A Phase I, Multicenter, Single-Arm, Open-Label Study

[Cell Discovery] Investigators reported newly developed anti-HIV-1 CAR-T cells armed with endogenic broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and the follicle-homing receptor CXCR5, termed M10 cells.

CD271 mRNA/hnRNPA2B1 Complex Promotes Proliferation and Stemness in Oral and Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

[Cancer Science] The authors show edthat CD271 mRNA, but not CD271 protein, facilitates spheroid cell proliferation. They established CD271−/− cells lacking both mRNA and protein of CD271, as well as CD271 protein knockout cells lacking only CD271 protein, from hypopharyngeal and oral squamous cell carcinoma lines.

Stem Cells Derived Exosomes as Biological Nano Carriers for VCR Sulfate for Treating Breast Cancer Stem Cells

[Scientific Reports] Investigators isolated exosomes (Exos) from MSCs, and using probe-sonication approach loaded them with vincristine (VCR) sulfate. Using SRB assay, the cytotoxicity of VCR sulfate-Exo was assessed in T47D breast cancer cells, and the results were contrasted with those of free VCR sulfate.

Engineering Cell Instructive Microenvironments for In Vitro Replication of Functional Barrier Organs

[Advanced Healthcare Materials] The authors explored current limitations to in vitro organ morphogenesis, emphasizing the interplay of gene regulatory networks, mechanical factors, and tissue microenvironment cues.

Lysyl Oxidase-Like 2 as a Predictor of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients with Hepatitis C Virus after Sustained Virological Response

[Scientific Reports] The authors validated the utility of serum LOXL2 levels as a predictive biomarker for the development of HCC in patients with hepatitis C virus infection who achieved a sustained virological response.

Modeling Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease in Humans Using Adipose Stromal or Stem Cell-Derived Organoids

[Cell Reports Methods] The authors used human adipose stromal/stem cells to construct hepatic organoids and treated them with ethanol to simulate alcohol-associated liver disease in vitro.

IL-17a Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Increasing FAP Expression in Hepatic Stellate Cells via Activation of the STAT3 Signaling Pathway

[Cell Death Discovery] In vivo and in vitro experiments were performed to verify the promoting effects of IL-17a administration, IL-17a overexpression, and FAP upregulation in HSCs on liver fibrosis and liver tumorigenesis.

Inhibition of TBL1 Cleavage Alleviates Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiomyocytes Death by Regulating the Wnt/β-Catenin Signal Pathway

[Cardiovascular Research] Researchers observed a reduction in transducin beta-like protein 1 (TBL1) protein expression levels as well as cleavage events in the transplanted cardiac tissues of patients diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy Rewires Glucose Metabolism: An Experimental Investigation and Systematic Review

[Journal Of Cachexia Sarcopenia And Muscle] The authors used mass spectrometry in hypertrophying C2C12 myotubes in vitro and plantaris mouse muscle in vivo and assessed metabolomic changes and the incorporation of the [U-13C6]glucose tracer.

TIF1β Activates Leukemic Transcriptional Program in HSCs and Promotes BCR::ABL1-Induced Myeloid Leukemia

[Leukemia] Scientists generated a BCR::ABL1 conditional knock-in (KI) mouse model, which developed aggressive myeloid leukemia, and demonstrated that the deletion of the Tif1β gene inhibited the progression of myeloid leukemia and showed longer survival than that in BCR::ABL1 KI mice

CUX1 Regulates Human Hematopoietic Stem Cell Chromatin Accessibility via the BAF Complex

[Cell Reports] The authors demonstrated that CUT-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) directed the BAF chromatin remodeling complex to DNA to increase chromatin accessibility in hematopoietic cells.
