TCRαβ/CD19 depleted HSCT from an HLA-haploidentical relative to treat children with different nonmalignant disorders

Pietro Merli et al.

Summary: The study confirms that TCRab/CD19-depleted haploidentical HSCT from an HLA-partially matched relative is an effective treatment for children with NMDs. Prompt donor availability, low incidence of acute GVHD, and TRM make this strategy an attractive option for NMDs patients.

Improved hematopoietic stem cell transplantation upon inhibition of natural killer cell-derived interferon-gamma

Lorena Lobo de Figueiredo-Pontes et al.

Summary: Research showed that donor natural killer (NK) cells negatively affect the frequency and function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), with interferon-gamma (IFNg) identified as a potential mediator. Improved HSC fitness was achieved by depleting NK cells or blocking IFNg activity from donor infusions.
