    Abstract The use of γδ T lymphocytes as advanced therapeutic medicinal product has attracted much interest in the last years. Indeed, such cells are an ideal tool for the reconstitution of the immune system in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, due to their MHC-independent anti-tumor and anti-viral activities. We have here setup a protocol for the production of pure and functional γδ T lymphocytes, expanded from healthy donors' mononuclear cells, and validated the analytical methods to identify them and to analyze their potency. Next, we performed stability studies to ensure that the cell product (γδ T cells) can be used after freezing and thawing. Notably, such protocol can be promptly translated to GMP-facility, since it has been designed using only clinical grade reagents.

    Abstract Introduction: Quality and safety of a cell product, essential to guarantee the health of patients, depends on many factors including an appropriate environmental monitoring of the manufacturing rooms. Nonetheless, the maintenance of a controlled environment is requested to minimize the risk of contamination. Thus, a timely detection of changes in microbiological trends is important to adopt promptly effective measures against resistant strains that, in turn, may invalidate not only the sanitization procedures but also the safety of the cell product.
    Methods: We analyzed microbes found in our cell processing clean room over the last 5 years. We used 10.147 plates for air sampler, passive air monitoring and for checking instruments and operators of the production unit.
    Results: From these plates, 747 colonies were subjected to identification by the MALDI-TOF Vitek® MS system and the large majority of them was gram positive (97.8%) as witnessed by the finding that the most represented
    Conclusions: The observed microbial contamination is to be attributed to the personnel and no substantial microbial pitfalls in our Cell Factory has been detected.

    Abstract SLC26A9 belongs to the solute carrier family 26 (SLC26), which comprises membrane proteins involved in ion transport mechanisms. On the basis of different preliminary findings, including the phenotype of SlC26A9-deficient mice and its possible role as a gene modifier of the human phenotype and treatment response, SLC26A9 has emerged as one of the most interesting alternative targets for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). However, despite relevant clues, some open issues and controversies remain. The lack of specific pharmacological modulators, the elusive expression reported in the airways, and its complex relationships with CFTR and the CF phenotype prevent us from conclusively understanding the contribution of SLC26A9 in human lung physiology and its real potential as a therapeutic target in CF. In this review, we summarized the various studies dealing with SLC26A9 expression, molecular structure, and function as an anion channel or transporter; its interaction and functional relationships with CFTR; and its role as a gene modifier and tried to reconcile them in order to highlight the current understanding and the gap in knowledge regarding the contribution of SLC26A9 to human lung physiology and CF disease and treatment.

    Abstract ZEB2 is a protein-coding gene belonging to a very restricted family of transcription factors. ZEB2 acts mainly as a transcription repressor, is expressed in various tissues and its role is fundamental for the correct development of the nervous system. The best-known clinical picture associated with ZEB2 mutations is Mowat-Wilson syndrome, caused mostly by haploinsufficiency and characterized by possible multi-organ malformations, dysmorphic features, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. In this study we report the generation of IGGi004-A and IGGi005-A, iPSC clones from two patients carrying different heterozygous mutations in ZEB2, which can be used for disease modelling, pathophysiological studies and therapeutics testing.

    Abstract We present a case report about a Moroccan 3-year-old girl, with an intermediate phenotype of muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies), type A, 8 form. We performed clinical and instrumental evaluation, muscle biopsy, genetic screening of 59 genes for different cerebral malformations, follow-up and review of literature. After investigations, we identified an intermediate new phenotype between the severe and mild form, characterised by significant malformations of the cortex with myopatic symptoms, this increases the genotype-phenotype correlation knowledge about POMGNT2 gene mutations. New homozygous missense mutation on POMGNT2 (c.511 G>A, p.Asp171Asn, rs768063378) was detected.
