TL;DR: This data indicates that trypan blue exclusion staining is probably the most frequently applied method for assessment of viability in peripheral blood progenitor cell grafts after cryopreservation.

TL;DR: Improved method based on simultaneous detection of various platelet‐specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies that proved to be a rapid and reliable assay that required less platelets than other methods.

TL;DR: It seems very probable that filter‐processed UCB transplants will also result in sufficient hematopoietic reconstitution in humans, as the data of NOD/SCID mice transplantation demonstrated a significant engraftment capacity of HPCs processed by filtration.

TL;DR: Retreatment and maintenance therapy was feasible in patients with heavily pretreated CLL and appeared to result in more durable disease control than initial ofatumumab treatment in this subset of patients who may have a more favourable disease profile.

TL;DR: It is concluded that allogeneic PBSCT is a therapeutic option for patients with myeloid/NK-cell precursor acute leukaemia, a very rare malignant disease, despite the fatal outcome due to infection.
