Kyoko Hirata Tsutsumi, Dominic Grussu, Ryan Willis, Kyle Henderson, Paul A. Campbell, Melissa Moy, Ewelina Lesniak, Joanna Wu, Robyn P. Hickerson

“…Although such treatments are well-established, and improved understanding of the underlying mechanistic processes continues to emerge, research into the optimum treatments for specific skin types/conditions is still needed for enhanced efficacy while minimizing recovery time. The 3 commercial chemexfoliation agents employed all contained trichloroacetic acid at well-defined concentrations (6, 10, and 20%) and were applied to the explants’ stratum corneum. …”

Recipient sex and donor leukemic cell characteristics determine leukemogenesis in patient-derived models by Anna MP. Stanger, Marlon Arnone, Pauline Hanns, Lucca M. Kimmich, Jessica Kübler, Sarah Gekeler, Elsa S. Görsch, Lea Kramer, Marcelle Baer, Jan C. Schroeder, Taylor S. Mills, Martina Konantz, Saskia S. Rudat, Claudia Lengerke

“…Testosterone may be the more important player since, strikingly, better engraftment was seen in castrated versus control male recipients, while ovariectomy did not significantly impair engraftment in females. Shorter time-to-engraftment and mouse survival were observed with adverse molecular risk, and respectively with high FLT3-ITD ratio mutated AML cells. …”
