Abstract

Engineering of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) from bone marrow (BM) or "mobilized" peripheral blood (MoPB) is becoming increasingly important. Counterflow centrifugal elutriation (CCE) has been used to separate cells on the basis of their size. In this study, CCE was applied to evaluate BM and MoPB for differences in their HPC populations. Using a standard 4-mL elutriation chamber at 2300 rpm, CD34+ cells from BM peaked at a flow rate of 19 mL/minute, with 85% of all CD34+ cells recovered from fractions 15-22 mL/minute. The CD34+ cells from MoPB, mobilized with chemotherapy and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), peaked at 22 mL/minute, with 90% of all CD34+ cells recovered from fraction 19-26 mL/minute. Colony-forming cells (colony-forming units granulocyte/macrophage [CFU-GM] + burst-forming unit-erythroid [BFU-E] + multipotent colony-forming units [CFU-GEMMs]) followed the distribution of CD34+ cells very closely, also with a shift to higher flow-rates for MoPB compared with BM. The lower flow-rate fractions of both BM and MoPB contained an increased proportion of CD34+ cells that did not express HLA-DR and/or CD38 on their surface, suggesting that the earliest CD34+ cells were enriched in the low-flow rate...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
