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


High-Res Genotyping Improves Survival for Stem Cell Transplantation
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provides a curative treatment option for individuals with hematologic diseases. Recipients and donors are considered to be compatible or “well matched” if they share a high degree of genetic similarity at their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci. More...25 Apr 2019

Different Clinical Hematology Lab Configurations Compared
Automated hematology analyzers are key clinical laboratory instruments that measure blood counts, identify subsets of nucleated blood cells, and flag specimens for further manual analysis. These analyzers range in price and functionality. More...22 Apr 2019

Immune Signature Drives Leukemia Relapse after Transplantation
Transplantation of hematopoietic cells from a healthy individual (allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT)) demonstrates that adoptive immunotherapy can cure blood cancers: still, post-transplantation relapses remain frequent. More...11 Apr 2019
