β-Catenin is essential for E-cadherin–mediated cell adhesion in epithelial cells, but it also forms nuclear complexes with high mobility group transcription factors. Using a mouse mammary system, we have shown previously that conversion of cells to fibroblastoid phenotype (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) involves downregulation E-cadherin and upregulation β-catenin transcriptional activity. Here, demonstrate transient expression exogenous both arrested growth or caused apoptosis,...

ABSTRACT Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) requires the collection of hematopoietic progenitor cells, commonly by apheresis (HPC‐A). These CD34+ cells can be mobilized using Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G‐CSF) only or chemomobilization plus G‐CSF. Both methods may additionally include Plerixafor. The emergence COVID‐19 led to recommendations for preferential G‐CSF mobilization. To assess impact this recommendation on HPC‐A harvesting, we analyzed data from NHS Blood and...
Acute thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening emergency and plasma exchange (PEX) the initial treatment shown to reduce acute mortality.To compare current practice in United Kingdom (UK) against standards set out 2012 British Society of Haematology guideline, better understand issues affecting prompt initiation PEX.The trainee research network HaemSTAR conducted retrospective nationwide review adults presenting UK hospitals with first episode TTP.Data on 148 patients...
Summary Regulatory B (Breg) cells are potentially implicated in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We analysed a prospective cohort newly diagnosed steroid naïve ITP patients enrolled multicentre FLIGHT trial and found that numbers Bregs their peripheral blood were similar to healthy controls. In contrast, Breg significantly reduced treated with systemic immunosuppression (glucocorticoids or mycophenolate mofetil). also demonstrate glucocorticoid treatment impairs...
Extra-corporeal photopheresis (ECP) requires anticoagulation to prevent circuit clotting. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is currently the only anticoagulant licensed for ECP system in use United Kingdom (UK). Acid citrate dextrose-A (ACD-A) preferred most other apheresis procedures. Anecdotal evidence suggested variability practice across UK with some providers using off-label ACD-A.We developed a survey together Photopheresis Society establish current practice.This was distributed all 17...
