Measurable Residual Disease Assessed Post-Transplantation in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
The detection of residual disease by techniques more sensitive than light microscopy is called measurable residual disease (MRD) and is an important prognostic marker, which dictates outcome of disease. Assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD) is rapidly transforming the therapeutic and prognostic landscape of a wide range of hematological malignancies. More...07 Nov 2019

Allogeneic Transplantation Outcomes Compared in Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with this disorder have atypical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape. More...06 Nov 2019

Biomarkers Analyzed for Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 3% of all newly diagnosed primary intracranial tumors. In patients presenting with focal brain lesions, fast and reliable diagnosis of PCNSL remains a challenge. More...29 Oct 2019

Specific Cytokines Are Significant Biomarkers for AML
Acute myeloid leukemia is a hematopoietic neoplasm derived from early progenitor myeloid cells; it is characterized by clonal expansion of myeloblasts, which are immature myeloid progenitors that accumulate in the bone marrow (BM). More...16 Oct 2019

Blood Monocyte Functions Altered in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is characterized by the slow degeneration of the neurons in brain due to the abnormal accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein. This leads to the patients shaking and then to the slow, stiff movements which many people associate with the disease. More...15 Oct 2019

Two Different Mutations Identified as Cause of AML
Two very different mutations have been identified as unexpected partners in crime for causing the blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expert analysis helped reveal how this deadly duo is far more common in AML than thought. More...15 Oct 2019
Parkinson’s Gene Mutation Linked to Higher Risk of Leukemia
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. More...10 Oct 2019
