Hematology

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

Biomarker Predicts Factor VIII Response in Hemophilia A
Hemophilia A is a genetic deficiency in clotting factor VIII (FVIII), which causes increased bleeding and usually affects males. In the majority of cases it is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, though there are cases, which arise from spontaneous mutations. More...10 Apr 2019


CRYOcheck Factor VIII Inhibitor Kit Cleared for Distribution
Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by insufficient clotting factor VIII (FVIII) in the blood. People with hemophilia A experience prolonged bleeding, which can lead to permanent joint damage and life-threatening hemorrhages. Prophylaxis, the regular infusion of clotting factor concentrates, is used to prevent bleeds thereby minimizing joint damage. More...01 Apr 2019
