Clinical Trials3
- We have a series of clinical trials available to evaluate several different strategies to prevent GVHD, such as T cell depletion and the use of novel immunosuppressive agents. (harvard.edu)
- Established to conduct large multi-institutional clinical trials in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. (myeloma.org)

Regenerative4
- Anna Rydström will defend her Ph.D. thesis "Hematopoietic stem cell dynamics during regenerative stress' on Thursday, January 18th at 09:00 in Belfragesalen, BMC D15. (lu.se)
- Anna's scientific curiosity has led her to explore the regenerative dynamics of hematopoietic stem cells, also known as blood stem cells. (lu.se)
- Her primary focus has been to understand the genes involved in the regenerative process, and she has made significant strides in this area, discovering a new marker that can be used to identify activated stem cells. (lu.se)
- This new marker can be used to specifically identify functionally potent hematopoietic stem cells during the regenerative process. (lu.se)
Malignancy1
- Myelofibrosis (MF) is a hematopoietic stem cell malignancy classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). (cancernetwork.com)
Therapy4
- A series of scientific sessions and speakers highlighted key aspects of the latest scientific, clinical and technologic developments in cell therapy, involving a unique set of cell products with a special emphasis on converging concepts in these fields. (nih.gov)
- Understanding of molecular mechanisms in natural killer cell therapy. (springer.com)
- The FDA's "approval is an important advance in cell therapy treatment in patients with blood cancers. (medscape.com)
- It is because of these stem cells and their capacity to regenerate and rebuild the entire hematopoietic (blood) system that makes transplantation a promising therapy. (lu.se)
Myeloid2
- Subset analysis of the engrafted cells using a multiparametric system enabling a combined analysis of morphology, immunophenotyping and FISH showed that both T and B lymphocytes and myeloid cells were of donor origin in two patients, while T lymphocytes and myeloid cells were of donor origin in the third. (nih.gov)
- Myeloid sarcoma (MS), also known as granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma, is a rare extramedullary tumor composed of immature myeloid cells at different stages of differentiation which can involve any site of the body. (haematologica.org)
