| Researchers used whole-genome sequencing to track HSCs from six patients with sickle cell disease at pre- and post-gene therapy time points to map the somatic mutation and clonal landscape of gene-modified and unmodified HSCs. [Nature Medicine] |

|
| Scientists used single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell ATAC sequencing to profile 28 patients representing different pediatric AML subtypes at diagnosis, remission and relapse. [Cancer Cell] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that NOD1, a cytosolic innate sensor of bacterial peptidoglycan, also functioned in murine hematopoietic cells as a major regulator of both the generation and differentiation of lymphoid progenitors as well as peripheral T lymphocyte homeostasis. [Nature Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers performed metabolomics of red blood cell units at storage day 10, 23 and 42 for a total of 1,929 samples, and also characterized for end of storage hemolytic propensity following oxidative and osmotic insults. [Blood] |
|
|
|
| The authors developed a therapeutic LAIR-1 agonist antibody, NC525, that induced cell death of leukemic stem cells (LSCs), but not healthy hematopoietic stem cells in vitro, and killed LSCs and AML blasts in both cell- and patient-derived xenograft models. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation] |

|
|
| Differentiation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors in vitro showed that cells with GATA1 antisense transcription had enhanced GATA2 transcription and a mast cell phenotype, whereas cells with GATA2 antisense transcription had increased GATA1 transcripts and an erythroblast phenotype. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that the miR-221/222 cluster, which was expressed in HSC and in multipotent progenitors differentiating from them, perturbed steady-state hematopoiesis in ways comparable to stress. [PLOS Biology] |
|
|
|
| | Data were collected for consecutive children and young persons aged 1-24 years with Philadelphia chromosome–positive or Philadelphia chromosome–negative B-ALL who received blinatumomab as first-line therapy. [Journal Of Clinical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists tested the association of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential with new-onset arrhythmias. UK Biobank participants without prevalent arrhythmias were included. Co-primary study outcomes were supraventricular arrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias, and ventricular arrhythmias. [European Heart Journal] |

|
|
| Prior to and during pregnancy, in addition to the assessment and care that every pregnant patient should receive, patients with sickle cell disease should be evaluated and treated by a multidisciplinary team with respect to their unique maternal and fetal issues. [Blood] |

|
| Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics have scored authorization in the UK for their exa-cel gene therapy to treat patients with severe forms of sickle cell and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia, two genetic disorders of the blood. [Fierce Pharma] |
