| Using genetic engineering of human HSCs and transplantation in immunodeficient mice, scientists described how a commonly mutated gene in clonal hematopoiesis, TET2, affected human neutrophil development and function. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| Researchers demonstrated that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) was increased in patients and mice with β-thalassemia because erythropoietin induced FGF23 overproduction in bone and bone marrow erythroid cells via ERK1/2 and STAT5 pathways. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| To define the metabolic requirements of hematopoiesis, investigators examined blood lineages in mice conditionally deficient in genes required for long-chain fatty acid oxidation, glutaminolysis, or mitochondrial pyruvate import. [Journal of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the fetal hematopoietic response to maternal infection with Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular parasite that elicited Type II IFNγ-mediated maternal immunity. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| Single-cell transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility assays revealed that loss of gata2a led to skewing toward the erythroid lineage at the expense of myeloid cells, associated with loss of cebpa expression and decreased PU.1 and CEBPA transcription factor accessibility in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified a novel circRNA, Circ_0001187, which was downregulated in AML patients, and its low level contributes to a poor prognosis. [Biomarker Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported elevated brain and muscle ARNT-Like protein-1 (Bmal1) expression in AML patients and cell lines, and its upregulation indicated the poor survival of patients. [Cancer Science] |
|
|
|
| | Through a broad immunogenetic study, scientists demonstrated that germline and somatic reduction of human leucocyte antigen heterogeneity enhanced the risk of leukemic recurrence. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Even in the absence of a matched sibling donor, outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in second complete remission for acute myeloid leukemia have significantly improved over time, with the most favorable outcomes achieved with matched unrelated donors. [Cancer] |
|  |
|
|
|
| The authors focus on the bone marrow microenvironment and review the role of integrins in cell-adhesion mediated drug-resistance of AML and in integrin targeting strategies. [British Journal of Pharmacology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists assess the key studies which have recently identified lncRNAs as important molecules in AML and summarize the current knowledge of lncRNAs in AML. [WIREs RNA] |

|
|
| As commissioner of the FDA, Robert Califf has made clear he would like to do away with the votes that punctuate meetings of expert panels evaluating new drugs for approval. [STAT News] |
