    Transcriptomic Classes of BCR-ABL1 Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Researchers uncovered three transcriptomic subtypes of BCR-ABL1 lymphoblastic leukemia, each representing a maturation arrest at a stage of B-cell progenitor differentiation. An earlier arrest was associated with lineage promiscuity, treatment refractoriness, and poor patient outcomes.

    Activation of the cGAS/STING Axis in Genome-Damaged Hematopoietic Cells Does Not Impact Blood Cell Formation or Leukemogenesis

    Investigators reported that defective ribonucleotide excision repair in the hematopoietic system caused genome instability with concomitant activation of the cGAS/STING axis and compromised hematopoietic stem cell function, ultimately resulting in leukemogenesis.

    Abstract

    Increased Red Blood Cell Deformation in Children and Adolescents after SARS-CoV-2 Infection

    Scientists investigated morphological and mechanical characteristics of red blood cells (RBCs) after SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and adolescents by real-time deformability-cytometry, to investigate the relationship between alterations of RBCs and clinical course of COVID-19.

    Induced Pluripotent and CD34+ Stem Cell Derived Myeloid Cells Display Differential Responses to Particle and Dust Mite Exposure

    iPSC derived macrophage and dendritic like cells were compared to CD34+ haematopoietic stem cell derived populations using transcriptomic analysis.

    BCR-ABL Promotes Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Formation in Embryonic Stem Cells

    Scientists showed in a unique site-directed knock-in embryonic stem cells model, that BCR-ABL expression tightly regulated by doxycycline controls the formation and the maintenance of immature hematopoietic progenitors.

    Age and Sex Associate with Outcome in Older AML and High Risk MDS Patients Treated with 10-Day Decitabine

    Investigators described the impact of performance status, comorbidity, and physical functioning on overall survival in 115 older patients treated on a clinical trial with a 10-day decitabine schedule.

    Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation by Motixafortide, a Novel CXCR4 Inhibitor

    Researchers evaluated motixafortide, a high-affinity, long-acting CXCR4 inhibitor with rapid mobilizing kinetics, in a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, 2-part, Phase II study to mobilize hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation donors.

    Abstract

    Immune Escape after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Investigators evaluated immune signatures at diagnosis and post-transplant relapse in bone marrow samples from four pediatric patients using a multimodal single-cell proteogenomic approach.

    Abstract

    Predicting Busulfan Exposure in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Machine Learning Techniques

    Scientists established an optimal model to predict the busulfan area under the curve at steady state by using machine learning.

    Abstract
    As a scientist, how you separate the facts from the claims is just as important as how you separate your cells. See for yourself.
    REVIEWS

    Current Status of Platelet Manufacturing in 3D or Bioreactors

    The authors discuss various cell sources for blood cell production, recent advances in manufacturing processes, and clinical applications of cultured blood.

    Abstract

    Biomarkers As Targets for CAR-T/NK Cell Therapy in AML

    Scientists primarily focus on target selection and the corresponding research status of CAR-T therapy for AML, while also taking into account current interest in natural killer cells in relation to those targets.
