The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system is a set of genes that play important roles in health and disease, serving as a flag for ‘self’ and ‘non-self’ cells. As such, HLA molecules have implications in several biomedical research areas, from immunology to transplantation and precision medicine. In this article, we explore what HLA typing is, why it matters, and how HLA research is shaping our understanding of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, stem cell transplantation, and cancer.

The use of mesenchymal stem cells in regenerative medicine is a scientific success story that started approximately 40 years ago. Although mesenchymal stem cells were initially met with skepticism, they now form the foundation of thousands of research studies and hundreds of clinical trials. In this article, we discuss how the origin of mesenchymal stem cells may impact their properties and therapeutic potential.
