Stem Cell Transplantation Increases Risk of Infection-Related Mortality
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic modality for various malignant and nonmalignant hematological conditions. The best results of allogeneic HSCT were obtained when the stem cells from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling were used, such a donor can only be found for approximately 30% of patients.

Lower HbA1c Levels Seen in Diabetic Liver Disease Patients
Diabetes is a leading cause of liver disease, with cirrhosis responsible for a considerable number of deaths in people with diabetes in the USA. The association is mediated by multiple mechanisms including dyslipidemia and altered hepatic fatty acid processing. More...23 May 2019

Sickle Cell Disease Screening Helps Save Lives of Migrants
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. This abnormal hemoglobin can cause red blood cells to become rigid and sickle shaped. More...21 May 2019

Multiple Myeloma Sequences Reveal Prognostic Immunoglobulin Translocation
Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological cancer, which affects terminally differentiated antibody secreting B cells, known as plasma cells. Clinical manifestations of myeloma include hypercalcemia, anemia, renal failure, and lytic bone lesions. More...08 May 2019

Protein Atlas Accelerates Personalized Medicine in Leukemia Patients
Acute myelogenous leukemia is associated with risk factors that are largely unknown and with a heterogeneous response to treatment. Only about one in four people diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) survive five years after the initial diagnosis. More...30 Apr 2019
