Tissue-Resident Myeloid and Histiocytic Cells in Health and Disease: Novel Emerging Concepts.

Although all myeloid cells are considered to derive from hematopoietic stem cells, the cells in each myeloid lineage are heterogeneous populations, and their distribution and functions vary, depending on underlying physiologic and pathologic processes, age, sex, and genetic and epigenetic signatures. In general, myeloid cells can be separated into circulating and tissue-resident cells. Tissue-resident myeloid cells can further be divided into cells derived from circulating monocytes, circulating stem cells, or local tissue-restricted stem or progenitor cells. Depending on underlying diseases a

Review of cancer therapies for the perioperative physician.

Advances in cancer treatments over the past decades combining chemotherapy with novel technologies in immunotherapies, radiation therapies, and interventional radiology have prolonged life expectancy. Patients have more options for treatments of their primary or metastatic diseases. Increased procedural techniques amid an aging population with multiple comorbidities present risks and challenges in the perioperative period.Chemotherapy remains the mainstay of cancer treatment, can be given intraoperatively, and is combined with other treatment modalities. Immunotherapy is particular to cancer c

History and Development of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

This review describes the development of cryopreservation, the birth of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and its past and present use to consolidate adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). It summarizes the first autografts in patients in relapse, the experience of autografting in complete remission (CR), using bone marrow unpurged or purged in vitro with cyclophosphamide-derivatives, and the important shift to peripheral blood stem cells. The review also discusses the results of recent studies in favor of the use of ASCT to consolidate good- and intermediate-risk pati

CCN proteins in the musculoskeletal system: current understanding and challenges in physiology and pathology.

The acronym for the CCN family was recently revised to represent "cellular communication network". These six, small, cysteine-enriched and evolutionarily conserved proteins are secreted matricellular proteins, that convey and modulate intercellular communication by interacting with structural proteins, signalling factors and cell surface receptors. Their role in the development and physiology of musculoskeletal system, constituted by connective tissues where cells are interspersed in the cellular matrix, has been broadly studied. Previous research has highlighted a crucial balance of CCN prote

Insights Into Late-Onset Rheumatoid Arthritis (LORA): Characteristics (Clinical and Imaging), Comorbidities, and Therapeutic Targets.

Late-onset rheumatoid arthritis (LORA) is defined as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) manifesting after the age of 65 years, although the terminology remains somewhat ambiguous. With the advent of a super-aging society and extended life expectancies, a significant increase in the incidence of LORA is anticipated. In comparison to young-onset RA (YORA), LORA is predominantly characterized by a higher incidence of acute onset, augmented disease activity and constitutional symptoms, a propensity for systemic manifestations, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate at disease onset, reduced seropositivit

Преодоление препятствий: развитие клеточной терапии в области аутоиммунной борьбы с заболеваниями.

Аутоиммунные заболевания возникают в результате дисрегламента в иммунной системе, что приводит к агрессивному нападению на ткани самого организма. Патогенез этих условий является многофакторным, охватывающим сложные взаимосвязи между генетическими предрасположениями, экологическими детерминантами и гормональными колебаниями. Диапазон аутоиммунных заболеваний является широким и оказывает воздействие на множество систем органов, при этом можно привести такие примечательные примеры, как ревматуидный артрит (RA), системный волчан (SLE), множественный склероз (MS), псориаз и витилиго. Несмотря на з

TGF-β in hematologic malignancies: molecular functions and clinical applications.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) represents a family of multifunctional cytokines, primarily secreted by megakaryocytes, monocytes, T lymphocytes, bone marrow stromal cells, and other cell types. TGF-β plays an essential role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune homeostasis. As a key immunoregulatory cytokine, TGF-β contributes to an immunosuppressive network within the microenvironment of hematologic malignancies by modulating the functions of both adaptive and innate immune cells. Current studies have s

The perioperative management of geriatric patients in transplantation surgery-clinical, immunological, and translational considerations.

Transplant surgery encompasses two primary branches: solid organ transplantation (SOT) and vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). As the global population ages, elderly transplant patients become a more pressing clinical challenge. Elderly transplant recipients require specialized care that addresses their unique needs, including increased comorbidities and frailty. Despite the growing recognition of these challenges, there is a paucity of studies that synthesize the current knowledge on this patient cohort, from immunological changes over translational challenges to tailored clinic

Pharmacological treatments of COVID-19.

The viral infection due to the new coronavirus or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was reported for the first time in December 2019, was named by the World Health Organization (WHO) as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), because of the very similar genome and also its related symptoms to SARS-CoV1. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with significant mortality, morbidity, and socioeconomic impact is considered by the WHO as a global public health emergency. Since there is no specific treatment available for SARS-CoV2 infection, and or COVID-19, several clinical and

Osteoprotective Roles of Green Tea Catechins.

Osteoporosis is the second most common disease only secondary to cardiovascular disease, with the risk of fracture increasing with age. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance between osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis processes. Osteoclastogenesis may be enhanced, osteoblastogenesis may be reduced, or both may be evident. Inflammation and high reactive oxygen enhance osteoclastogenesis while reducing osteoblastogenesis by inducing osteoblast apoptosis and suppressing osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation. Catechins, the main polyphenols found in green tea with potent anti-oxida

Nature-Inspired Strategies in Cancer Management: The Potential of Plant Extracts in Modulating Tumour Biology.

Cancer is a serious group of diseases that is a huge problem on a global scale and is the second most common cause of death. Commonly used therapies do not always lead to the complete elimination of diseased cells or tissues and are also burdened with side effects that reduce the quality of life of patients. Due to these difficulties, new therapeutic approaches are still being sought. In recent years, there has been a return to interest in natural methods of treating various diseases, among which phytochemicals are particularly interesting. This article reviews plant extracts with anticancer p

Risk factors and outcome of COVID-19 in patients with hematological malignancies.

BackgroundPrognostic factors of poor outcome in patients with hematological malignancies and COVID-19 are poorly defined.Patients and methodsThis was a Spanish transplant group and cell therapy (GETH) multicenter retrospective observational study, which included a large cohort of blood cancer patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection through PCR assays from March 1st 2020 to May 15th 2020.ResultsWe included 367 pediatric and adult patients with hematological malignancies, including recipients of autologous (ASCT) (n = 58) or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) (n = 65

Pooled CAR-T screening in pig-tailed macaques identifies designs with enhanced proliferation, trafficking, and persistence.

AbstractChimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of B-cell malignancies; however, >60% of patients relapse within 1 year, often due to insufficient CAR-T persistence. Although mouse and primary cell models have been instrumental in advancing CAR-T therapy, they frequently fail to predict clinical outcomes, underscoring the need for more translationally relevant models. To address this limitation, we conducted, to our knowledge, the first systematic evaluation of CAR structure-function relationships in an immunocompetent nonhuman primate (NHP) model. We

Gamma/delta T cells as cellular vehicles for anti-tumor immunity.

Adoptive cellular immunotherapy as a new paradigm to treat cancers is exemplified by the FDA approval of six chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapies targeting hematological malignancies in recent years. Conventional αβ T cells applied in these therapies have proven efficacy but are confined almost exclusively to autologous use. When infused into patients with mismatched human leukocyte antigen, αβ T cells recognize tissues of such patients as foreign and elicit devastating graft-versus-host disease. Therefore, one way to overcome this challenge is to use naturally allogeneic immune cell typ

Recent advances in the management of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease presenting highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations and multi-systemic involvement. Patients are susceptible to relapse- and remission, thus making management challenging. Moreover, a considerable number of side effects may occur with conventional therapies; therefore, there is clearly a need for new therapeutic strategies. Since the pathogenesis of SLE is highly complex, it is far from being fully understood. However, greater understanding of the pathways and of the cellular and molecular mediators involved in SLE is being

Managing fatigue in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome: challenges and solutions.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients identify fatigue as their most important symptom and the one most difficult to cope with, but there are still many challenges and few solutions to manage this debilitating symptom. Promising pharmacological treatments, such as rituximab, have failed in more stringent tests including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analysis. While non-pharmacological interventions may be safer, less costly, and address other common comorbidities, to date only aerobic exercise seems to be effective at reducing fatigue in pSS. All interventions, pharmacologic

Preventing and Repairing Myeloma Bone Disease by Combining Conventional Antiresorptive Treatment With a Bone Anabolic Agent in Murine Models.

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy, which develops in the bone marrow and frequently leads to severe bone destruction. Current antiresorptive therapies to treat the bone disease do little to repair damaged bone; therefore, new treatment strategies incorporating bone anabolic therapies are urgently required. We hypothesized that combination therapy using the standard of care antiresorptive zoledronic acid (Zol) with a bone anabolic (anti-TGFβ/1D11) would be more effective at treating myeloma-induced bone disease than Zol therapy alone.
