Stem cell mobilisation by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Long-term results of the REVIVAL-2 trial.
In conclusion, these long-term follow-up data show that G-CSF does not improve clinical outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction. PMID: 26790705 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplant with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for Graft-versus-Host Disease Prophylaxis in Patients with Severe Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hemoglobinopathy affecting 1 in every 500 African American newborns and an estimated 100,000 persons in the United States [1]. Vascular occlusion caused by the sickled RBCs leads to decreased perfusion in target organs and manifests clinically as vaso-occlusive pain crisis, stroke (cerebral infarction), pulmonary restrictive disease, and pulmonary hypertension [2]. Despite advances in supportive care, including the use of hydroxyurea (HU), RBC transfusion, and iron chelation therapy, patients with SCD continue to experience considerable morbidity and mortality in their lifetime.
