  • We found that both E2 and E4 expand human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells . (bvsalud.org)
  • However, E4 was the best tolerated estrogen and promoted cell cycle of human Hematopoietic Progenitors. (bvsalud.org)
  • A QC screening flow cytometry panel and a more extensive T cell and myeloid panel identify the presence of human cell populations and evaluate the model's functionality. (genengnews.com)
  • Viable human CD45 + cells were detected in all samples. (genengnews.com)
  • Human T cell infiltration was observed in both carcinomas with the majority of live T cells responsive post infiltration. (genengnews.com)
  • UCLA scientists have discovered a link between a protein and the ability of human blood stem cells to self-renew. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Multiplying blood stem cells in conditions outside the human body could greatly improve treatment options for blood cancers like leukemia and for many inherited blood diseases. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Although we've learned a lot about the biology of these cells over the years, one key challenge has remained: making human blood stem cells self-renew in the lab," she said. (medicalxpress.com)
  • To uncover what makes blood stem cells self-renew in a lab, the researchers analyzed the genes that turn off as human blood stem cells lose their ability to self-renew, noting which genes turned off when blood stem cells differentiate into specific blood cells such as white or red cells. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Other recent studies have identified small molecules-organic compounds that are often used to create pharmaceutical drugs-that help to multiply human blood stem cells in the laboratory. (medicalxpress.com)

  • Human adult mobilized CD34+ cells were cultured for 21 days under normoxia (21% O 2 ) or hypoxia (2% O 2 ) in vessels coated with optimized concentrations of Delta1. (confex.com)
  • Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) is a coinhibitory receptor associated with impaired T-cell function and is frequently coexpressed with programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) in the context of human cancers. (aacrjournals.org)
  • Collectively, these are referred to as hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). (stemcell.com)
  • Additional markers can be used to distinguish HSPC subsets within the CD34+ population and isolate HSPCs with different engraftment abilities and capacities to expand or generate mature blood cells in culture. (stemcell.com)
  • BOSTON--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Gamida Cell Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMDA), an advanced cell therapy company committed to cures for blood cancers and serious blood diseases, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. (biospace.com)
  • The purpose of this study is to compare relapse-free survival between participants with FLT3/ITD AML in first morphologic complete remission (CR1) who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) and are randomized to receive gilteritinib or placebo beginning after the time of engraftment for a two year period. (mayo.edu)
  • SCID is fatal in the first 2 years of life unless the patient is treated with extremely restrictive isolation, hematopoietic stem cell transplant or therapy that replaces the abnormal gene or gene product. (lu.se)
  • Through gene knockout studies he has shown that these molecules act as a type of molecular "Teflon" to make cells more mobile and invasive and also facilitate chemotaxis. (ubc.ca)
  • They found that the expression of a gene called MLLT3 was closely correlated with blood stem cells' potential to self-renew and that the protein generated by the MLLT3 gene provides blood stem cells with the instructions necessary to maintain its ability to self-renew. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Using a viral vector-a specially modified virus that can carry genetic information to a cell's nucleus without causing a disease-the team inserted an active MLLT3 gene into blood stem cells and observed that functional blood stem cells were able to multiply in number at least twelvefold in lab dishes. (medicalxpress.com)
  • Dr. Pasqualina Colella is a scientist with extensive expertise in cell therapy and gene therapy approaches for the treatment of inherited diseases. (stanford.edu)
  • To assess the relative impact of normoxia and hypoxia on the HSC compartment, we performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of cells within HSC cluster 5 from each culture condition. (confex.com)
  • Gene and cell therapies present novel alternatives to disease management, offering the promise of a single treatment and a lifelong cure. (bvsalud.org)
  • We have therefore examined whether TCD compromises engraftment using a fludarabine-based conditioning regimen. (qub.ac.uk)
  • The goal of this grant was to develop a non-genotoxic antibody-based conditioning regimen that can be used to treat people with FA who are undergoing a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). (fanconi.org)
  • The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Iomab-B, in conjunction with a Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) regimen and protocol-specified allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT), versus Conventional Care. (mayo.edu)
  • Dr. Elliott J. Hagedorn is a cell and developmental biologist with expertise in hematopoiesis, stem cell biology and vascular heterogeneity. (bu.edu)
  • If we think about the amount of blood stem cells needed to treat a patient, that's a significant number," said Mikkola, who is also a professor of molecular, cell and developmental biology in the UCLA College and a member of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. (medicalxpress.com)
