Research team identifies new rare disease affecting hematopoiesis and immunity

by St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute  Credit: CC0 Public Domain The immune system is one of the most complex and fascinating networks in the human body. Comprised of cellular and humoral components, it not only protects us against external intruders such as viruses or bacteria, but also plays a fundamental role in detecting aberrant...

Call for caution for using a CAR-T immunotherapy against Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy which incidence increases with age, that is biologically, phenotypically, and genetically very heterogeneous. Its treatment uses to combine chemotherapy followed by allogenic Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells transplant (allo-HSCT), based on the patient’s eligibility, to consolidate complete remission and prevent relapse. Yet, except for a few subgroups,...

Hematopoietic stem cell marker: A key player in the ontogeny of hematopoiesis

OSAKA UNIVERSITY A group of researchers at Osaka University revealed that ESAM (Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule), a surface marker for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and vascular endothelial cells (ECs), played an important role in the ontogeny of hematopoiesis in mice, particularly in the development of adult-type erythropoiesis. Their research results were published in Stem Cell...

Hematopoietic stem cells: Making blood thicker than water

Researchers at Osaka University reveal how a regulatory molecule ensures an appropriate supply of blood cells while avoiding the excessive proliferation associated with conditions like leukemia OSAKA UNIVERSITY Osaka, Japan – The body needs to create a continuous supply of blood cells to enter circulation. Blood cells have a wide variety of functions ranging from supplying oxygen to tissues, fighting infections, and enabling the blood to...
