Summary: This study revealed a high prevalence of hip pathologies in MPS III patients, with a significant correlation between severe phenotype and hip dysplasia with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Radiographs of the hips are highly recommended in baseline and follow-up assessments of MPS III patients.

Summary: This study demonstrated that hip surgery in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis I can improve the sphericity of the femoral head, bringing it closer to normal hip characteristics. This provides valuable clinical evidence for treating flattened femoral heads caused by this disease.

Summary: This review highlights the importance of vaccination post-stem cell transplantation for patients at risk of infection, emphasizing the significance of timing in order to obtain proper immune response. Individualized approaches may be necessary to optimize vaccine responses, as consensus on optimal timing is currently lacking.

Summary: Human and mouse CD4(+)FoxP3(+) T cells, as non-redundant regulatory compartments, play crucial roles in maintaining self-tolerance and have potential therapeutic applications in autoimmune disorders and transplants. Currently, the focus is on using donor-derived Tregs, but manipulating recipient Tregs after transplantation remains challenging. Researchers are exploring strategies to control recipient Tregs and improve post-transplant outcomes.

Summary: The incidence and prevalence of hematologic malignancies are increasing globally, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant has significantly improved outcomes. Acute kidney injury is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplants and affects overall survival. We developed a predictive risk score that can easily identify high-risk patients for AKI during hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
