Histological Criteria Predicts Lymphoma Transformation in Bone Marrow Biopsies

Large cell transformation (LCT) of indolent B-cell lymphomas, such as follicular lymphoma (FL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), signals a worse prognosis, at which point aggressive chemotherapy is initiated. Although LCT is relatively straightforward to diagnose in lymph nodes, a marrow biopsy is often obtained first given its ease of procedure, low cost, and low morbidity. However, consensus criteria for LCT in bone marrow have not been established. More...

10-Minute Sepsis Risk Test Could Change the Way Emergency Departments Recognize and Treat Sepsis

A novel test designed to quantify the state of immune activation by measuring the biophysical properties of leukocytes from a routine blood sample in less than 10 minutes is pioneering a new way of quickly and accurately stratifying a patient’s risk of sepsis. More...

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Proinflammatory Signatures Associated with AML Progression

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is believed to arise through a combination of genetic alterations and aberrant gene expression patterns caused by genetic and epigenetic changes, which in their composition also determine AML progression and therapy resistance. More...
