    Regulation of Kynurenine Metabolism by Blood Donor Genetics and Biology Impacts Red Cell Hemolysis In Vitro and In Vivo

    The authors performed metabolomics of red blood cell units from 643 donors enrolled in the Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study. Units were tested on storage days 10, 23, and 42 for a total of 1929 samples and characterized for end-of-storage hemolytic propensity after oxidative and osmotic insults.

    Determinants of Lenalidomide Response with or without Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents in Myelodysplastic Syndromes: The HOVON89 Trial

    A randomized Phase II study was performed in low/int-1 risk myelodysplastic syndrome to study efficacy and safety of lenalidomide without or with ESA/G-CSF. In arm B, patients without erythroid response (HI-E) after 4 cycles received ESA; G-CSF was added if no HI-E was obtained by cycle 9.
