| This Phase III study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of motixafortide + granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) versus placebo + G-CSF in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing hematopoietic stem progenitor cell mobilization before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

|
| Investigators showed that obesity was highly associated with CHIP and that a pro-inflammatory state could potentiate the progression of CHIP to more significant hematologic neoplasia. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation] |

|
| Researchers examined immune responses in genetically distinct models of AML and demonstrated that specific AML oncogenes dictate immunogenicity, the quality of immune response, and immune escape through immunoediting. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that AML-derived macrophages presented immunosuppressive and pro-leukemogenic functions, in part related to the acquisition of AML mutations. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported pre-clinical single-agent activity of 753B against different leukemia subsets. 753B effectively reduced cell viability and induced dose-dependent degradation of BCL-XL and BCL-2 in a subset of hematopoietic cell lines, AML primary samples, and in vivo PDX AML model.

|
|
| Researchers tested whether reticulocytes in donor RBC units could enhance RBC alloimmunization. Using a murine model, they demonstrated that transfusing donor RBC units with increased reticulocyte frequencies dose-dependently increased RBC alloimmunization rates and alloantibody levels.

|
|
| Investigators characterized and quantified fetal megakaryocytic cells in mouse fetal liver according to their glycan residues at different gestational ages through lectins. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers provided insights into the transcriptomic features of TMEM173 in the bone marrow of high-risk B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients. Targeted activation of TMEM173 in specific cells might provided new therapeutic strategies for B-ALL patients. [BMC Cancer] |

|
|
| Scientists reported the results of a retrospective analysis on second allogeneic transplantation treated with total marrow irradiation as a myeloablative conditioning regimen, intending to limit toxicity. [Transplantation And Cellular Therapy] |

|
|
| The authors update knowledge regarding the diagnosis and severity assessment of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, also known as veno-occlusive disease in adult patients, and also its pathophysiology and treatment. [Bone Marrow Transplantation] |

|
| ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. announced it has entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Sanofi to evaluate the combination of Evorpacept, a CD47 blocker, and SARCLISA, for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
