Flow Cytometric Immunophenotypic Alterations of Persistent Clonal Haematopoiesis in Remission Bone Marrows of Patients with NPM1-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

From a consecutive cohort of 67 patients with nucleophosmin 1‐mutated (NPM1mut) acute myeloid leukemia , investigators identified 50 who achieved NPM1mut clearance and had parallel multicolour flow cytometry and next generation sequencing.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Heterogeneity Is Linked to the Initiation and Therapeutic Response of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Single-cell gene expression profiling with parallel mutation detection demonstrated that the megakaryocyte-primed hematopoietic stem cells subpopulation expanded significantly with enhanced potential in untreated individuals with JAK2V617F+essential thrombocythemia, driven primarily by the JAK2 mutation and elevated interferon signaling.

Facilitative Lysosomal Transport of Bile Acids Alleviates ER Stress in Mouse Hematopoietic Precursors

Scientists demonstrated that lysosomal equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (ENT3) transport of taurine-conjugated bile acids (TBA) facilitated TBA chemical chaperone function and alleviated endoplasmic reticulum stress in expanding mouse hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

Recent FDA Designation Puts Promising Engineered Cellular Therapy that Reduces Complications of Lymphoma Treatment on Accelerated Path to Market Approval

In November 2020, the FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation for a cellular therapy called AB-205. AB-205 acts promptly to repair injured vascular niches of organs to prevent or reduce severe toxicities in patients who have Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
