Discovery of a novel CD34(+) natural killer precursor population in human lymph nodes
TS-037651 — Ohio State University researchers have discovered novel subset of human CD34 (+) hematopoietic precursor cells and generated a method of isolating them.
Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that plays a role in the immune system. These cells can react against and destroy another cell without prior sensitization to it. The role of NK cells in tumor activity is known, but recent research has also linked them to other immune disease con…

Combination Agent Approach for Improved Expansion and Mobilization of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
TS-037629 — Combined treatment of plerixafor and Flt3L better mobilize stem cells and do not exacerbate graft-versus-host disease following transplatation.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used in patients with hematologic malignancies resulting from irradiation and graft-versus-tumor effects. However, patients who undergone HSCT may suffer complications such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infection, and relapse. The most commo…
