Patients in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation often rely on unrelated stem cell
donors matched in certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes. Donor search is …

The COVID-19 pandemic has serious implications also for patients with other diseases.
Here, we describe the effects of the pandemic on unrelated hematopoietic stem cell donation …

Background The SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic has strained health systems worldwide, and
infection numbers continue to rise. While previous data have already shown that many patients …

HLA molecules are key restrictive elements to present intracellular antigens at the crossroads
of an effective T-cell response against SARS-CoV-2. To determine the impact of the HLA …

Understanding mechanisms mediating tumor metastasis is crucial for diagnostic and
therapeutic targeting. Here, we take advantage of a transparent embryonic zebrafish xenograft …

Objectives To determine the impact of the 32 bp deletion (CCR5Δ32) in the coding region of
the CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) on the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 and severe …

We developed a cost-efficient workflow for genotyping HLA-E by NGS and applied it for
genotyping more than 2.5 million potential stem cell donors. The data obtained were used to …

L-lactate has energetic and signaling properties, and its availability is modulated by activity-dependent
stimuli, which also regulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Studying the …

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has an unprecedented impact on national health care
systems including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Early in the pandemic this …
