|
|
| Researchers showed in Pax5+/- mice that transient, early-life administration of clinically relevant doses of ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, significantly mitigated the risk of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia following exposure to infection. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists characterized age-related phenotypes of human HSCs and reported increased frequencies of HSC, hematopoietic progenitor cells and lineage negative cells in the elderly but a decreased frequency of multi-lymphoid progenitors. [Haematologica] |
|
|
|
| The authors revealed that the BC200/miR-150-5p/MYB positive feedback loop promoted the proliferation of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) cells and was expected to be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in MDS. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators directed a study to deepen the effects of nutrient shortage on BCR/Ablprotein expression and signaling in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. [Oncology Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that Reh acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells bearing the KRAS-G12D mutation showed increased proliferation rates in vitro but displayed severely compromised growth in mice. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effect of Bisphenol A and diethylhexyl phthalate on the clonogenic capacity of umbilical cord blood HSCs. [Environmental Science and Pollution Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators performed targeted panel sequencing of paired diagnostic and first treatment evaluation samples in 69 patients with residual disease by morphology or measurable residual disease level >0.02. [Experimental Hematology] |
| |
|
|
| Scientists reported the results of a prospective, single-arm, Phase II clinical trial done at the University Medical Center Utrecht and the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology to investigate individualized dosing of anti-thymocyte globulin for unrelated allogeneic HSC transplantation in pediatric patients. [Lancet Haematology] |
|
|
|
| The authors systematically analyzed genetic alterations in adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia uniformly treated in clinical trials with dasatinib-based regimens or a ponatinib-based regimen. [Leukemia] |
|
|
|
| Researchers provided insight into the relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML molecular profile and the impact of FLT3 inhibitors on mutational evolution associated with treatment resistance and benefit of gilteritinib across a wide spectrum of molecular and genetic subgroups in FLT3-mutated R/R AML. [Blood Advances] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize current understanding of clonal hematopoiesis with a focus on cardiovascular disease and inflammation while outlining the potential, yet unexplored, relationship between clonal hematopoiesis and autoimmune disease. [Seminars in Immunopathology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists focus on the pharmacokinetics of approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors related to chronic myeloid leukemia therapy to comprehend their specificity, tolerability, and off-target effects. [Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry] |

|
| Seagen, Inc. announced that the Phase III ECHELON-1 clinical trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival in patients with advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma following treatment with ADCETRIS in combination with chemotherapy. [Seagen, Inc.] |

|
|
| BioMarin’s gene therapy for hemophilia A is currently in development and not yet licensed by regulators. Speaker Prof Johnny Mahlangu reported an update from BioMarin’s ongoing Phase I/II study, namely that in November 2021, a single serious adverse event was reported in a patient from this study who had developed a lump in their neck, which was later diagnosed as salivary gland cancer.
