Comparing Delayed versus Simultaneous Bone Marrow Transplantation to Achieve Lung Allograft Tolerance in Non-Human Primates
Purpose: Long-term, immunosuppression-free survival of haplo-matched lung allografts has been achieved in non-human primates (NHPs) using a delayed mixed-chimerism protocol. Previous work in kidney and heart transplantation suggest that the timing of donor bone marrow transplant (BMT) is critical for tolerance induction. We investigated whether simultaneous versus delayed BMT generates a more effective protocol for inducing tolerance of mismatched lung allografts.

GSE262427 Macrophage WEE1 promotes atherosclerosis via directly phosphorylating NF- κB p65 subunit and inducing inflammatory response
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that macrophage WEE1 promotes inflammatory atherosclerosis by directly binding to p65 and phosphorylate it at S536. This study provides WEE1 as a new p65 regulator in inflammation and a potential therape utic target for atherosclerosis. (Source: GEO: Gene Expression Omnibus)

Bone marrow transplants spread Alzheimer ’s-like disease in mice, controversial study reports
Bone marrow transplants between mice can transmit symptoms and pathology associated with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a controversial study published today in Stem Cell Reports . Its authors found that healthy mice injected with marrow from a mouse strain carrying an extremely rare, Alzheimer’s-linked genetic mutation later developed cognitive problems and abnormal clumping of proteins in the brain. In claims that other scientists in the field have criticized as overstated, the team says its findings demonstrate “Alzheimer’s disease transmission” and support screening of human bone mar...

Cellular senescence promotes meibomian gland dysfunction in a chronic graft-versus-host disease mouse model
CONCLUSIONS: Cellular senescence, along with expression of SASP factors, exhibited increased activity in the eyelids, particularly in the MGs of cGVHD mice. ABT-263 mitigated the severity of MGD. These findings highlight the potential of targeting cellular senescence as an effective approach for MGD treatment in cGVHD.PMID:38499288 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtos.2024.03.006 (Source: The Ocular Surface)

SOHO State of the Art Updates and Next Questions | An Update on Higher Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes
High-risk myelodysplastic neoplasms (abbreviated HR-MDS) are a heterogenous group of clonal myeloid-lineage malignancies often characterized by high-risk genetic lesions, increased blood transfusion needs, constitutional symptoms, elevated risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and therapeutic need for bone marrow transplantation. Use of blast percentage and other morphologic features to define MDS subtypes is rapidly shifting to incorporate genetics, resulting in a subset of former HR-MDS patients now being considered as AML in presence of leukemia-defining genetic alterations.
