| Researchers identified a key role for HEXIM1 in controlling erythroid gene expression and function, with overexpression of HEXIM1 promoting erythroid proliferation and fetal globin expression. [Blood] |

|
| Investigators revealed the critical role of a conserved amino acid, proline, at position 199, located at the 3’ end of the pointed domain, in ETS-related gene’s ability to induce leukemia. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that the m6A demethylase alkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) controlled mitochondrial ATP production and modulated hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell fitness in an m6A-dependent manner. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators established acquired pinometostat resistance in pediatric KMT2A::AFF1+ B-ALL cells. [Experimental Hematology & Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that reticulocalbin-1 (RCN1) knockdown significantly suppressed the viability of bone marrow mononuclear cells from AML patients but did not affect the viability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells from healthy donors in vitro. [Molecular Oncology] |

|
| In this Phase I/II clinical trial, 65 pediatric and adult patients with refractory/relapsed T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma were enrolled. [American Journal Of Hematology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators conducted a registry analysis including adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who had received thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine or treosulfan-basedconditioning for haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant with posttransplant cyclophosphamide between 2010 and 2020. [Hemasphere] |
|
|
|
| In the FORUM study, researchers assessed safety, event-free survival, and overall survival of two total-body irradiation-free conditioning regimens in children with high-risk or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia <4 years old. [Blood] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the use of elotuzumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone as salvage therapy prior to and maintenance after a second autologous hematopoietic cell transplant for relapsed multiple myeloma. [Transplantation And Cellular Therapy] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the central role of the microenvironment in physiologic and pathologic hematopoiesis and the mechanisms of senescence, which is considered a fundamental protective mechanism against the proliferation of damaged and pre-tumoral cells. [Experimental Hematology] |
|
|
|
| Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a life-saving procedure that requires mobilization of stem cells for apheresis procedure. The authors examine mobilizing agents that are in use and under investigation. [Journal Of Clinical Apheresis] |

|
|
| Base editing, which makes specific changes to a cell’s genome, is put to the test in CAR-T-cell treatments for leukemia. The first participant had been treated using immune cells with four base-edited genes, equipping the cells to better target and destroy tumors. [Nature] |
