Diagnostic Assay Identifies Leukemic Stem Cells
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults. It is characterized by the pathological expansion of immature cells (myeloblasts) that invade the bone marrow and expand into the blood, affecting the production of the rest of the healthy cells. More...15 Jan 2020

Glycoprotein-Specific Direct Platelet Autoantibody Testing in Immune Thrombocytopenia
Autoantibodies directed against platelet glycoproteins have long been accepted as a major pathophysiologic mechanism in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but platelet autoantibody (PA) testing has previously shown poor sensitivity for ITP diagnosis. More...14 Jan 2020

Biomarker Predicts Prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most prevalent adult acute leukemia, which is characterized by abnormal proliferation and the accumulation of immature myeloid precursor cells in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and even some tissues, contributing to the destruction of the hematopoietic system. More...13 Jan 2020

Molecular Profiles, Microenvironment Signatures May Improve Lymphoma Prognosis
The tumor microenvironment includes surrounding blood vessels, immune cells, fibroblasts, signaling molecules, and the extracellular matrix that encapsulate the cancerous cells. The non-lymphoma cells lingering in the tumor's microenvironment, for example, can modify the effect of the mutations. More...09 Jan 2020

Immature Natural Killer Cells Predict Relapse After Cord Blood Transplantation
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) has become an accepted alternative treatment of patients with hematologic cancers or other disorders. Many of the disadvantages of CBT, including limited numbers of total nucleated cells, have been dealt with in significant ways, leading to marked reductions in the time to hematopoietic cell recovery. More...31 Dec 2019

Hypercoagulability Evaluated in New‐Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that involves T cell, B cell, and dendritic cell dysfunction, as well as antinuclear autoantibody production. Several clinical and scientific studies of SLE indicate an increased risk of thrombosis in these cases. More...30 Dec 2019

Germline Genetic Testing Assesses Inherited Risk for Myeloid Malignancies
Inherited risk for hematologic malignancies was historically thought to be relatively rare; however, the increased use of next-generation sequencing has identified more patients with germline genetic mutations that are known to increase cancer risk. More...26 Dec 2019
