|
| To address the role for the pathogenesis of the disease, investigators expressed the NFIA-ETO2 fusion in murine erythroblasts. They observed that NFIA-ETO2 significantly increased proliferation and impaired erythroid differentiation of murine erythroleuemia cells and of primary fetal liver-derived erythroblasts. [Blood] |

|
|
| Scientists identified first-in-class pleckstrin-2 (Plek2) inhibitors through an in silico high-throughput screening and cell-based assays followed by the synthesis of analogs. The Plek2-specific small molecule inhibitors showed potent inhibitory effects on cell proliferation. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation] |

|
|
| Researchers found that myeloid-like B cells, which express myeloid markers, emerged in the bone marrow after the induction of emergency myelopoiesis. [Journal Of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists studied the impact of dasatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia patients and compared with patients taking other tyrosine kinase inhibitors and healthy controls. [Haematologica] |
|
|
|
| Investigators generated zebrafish models of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2)R172K and IDH2R140Q AML and reported their pathologic, functional, and transcriptomic features and therapeutic responses to target therapies. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| The authors studied mice harboring a germline hypomorphic mutation of one Runx1 allele with a loss-of-function mutation in the other Runx1 allele, which displayed many hematologic characteristics found in human RUNX1 familial platelet disorder (RUNX1-FPD) patients. [Hemasphere] |
| |
|
|
| Investigators explored baseline characteristics and predictors of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) hyporesponsiveness in a global randomized cardiovascular outcomes study comparing an investigational hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, daprodustat, with conventional (ESA) treatment. [American Journal of Nephrology] |

|
|
| Study subjects received either 8000 IU of cholecalciferol daily or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers evaluated the change in markers of hepcidin expression, erythropoiesis, and iron status from baseline to week 12 and compared the change between the groups. [Bmc Nephrology] |

|
|
| The authors discuss the first generation of myeloid modulators and highlight recent developments in modeling context-specific roles for different myeloid cell subtypes, which can ultimately inform how to drive more successful clinical trials. [Nature Reviews Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss the utility of molecular markers in AML in prognostication and treatment decision-making. [Haematologica] |

|
| Aptose Biosciences Inc. announced the 120 mg monotherapy dosing of patients in the APTIVATE Phase I/II clinical trial of tuspetinib, an oral, mutation-agnostic tyrosine kinase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory AML. [Aptose Bioscience, Inc.] |
