miR-495-3p sensitizes BCR-ABL1-expressing leukemic cells to tyrosine kinase inhibitors by targeting multidrug resistance 1 gene in T315I mutated cells
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal malignant myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells. Primarily, BCR-ABL1 acts as a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that alters cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and genetic stability in hematopoietic cells in which it is expressed [1,2].

Fetal allotransplant recipients are resistant to graft-versus-host disease
In utero hematopoietic cell transplantation (IUHCT) is an experimental treatment for inherited immune, metabolic, and hematologic disorders with potential advantages over postnatal hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT). In preclinical studies, IUHCT achieves long-term alloengraftment without myeloablation, immunosuppression, or the need for an HLA-matched donor1 –3. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after postnatal HSCT4–7 and is the one of the greatest theoretical risks of IUHCT8.

The (intra-aortic) hematopoietic cluster cocktail: what is in the mix?
Understanding de novo hematopoietic cell generation, i.e. transition or differentiation of a non-hematopoietic precursor to a hematopoietic cell identity, has long been a goal in the field of developmental hematopoiesis. Over a century ago, before functional assays existed, histological studies on many species of early-stage vertebrate embryos (Figure 1A) revealed the existence of clusters of hematopoietic-like cells tightly associated to the ventral aortic endothelium, frequently near the divergence of vascular branches (Figure 1B) (Dantschakoff, 1907; Emmel, 1916; Jordan, 1916; Jordan, 1917; Maximow, 1909; Minot et al., ...

Assessing the frequency of CD163+ tumor-associated macrophages and CD3+ T lymphocytes between MGUS and plasma cell myeloma
Plasma cell dyscrasias (PCDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the expansion of monoclonal bone marrow (BM) plasma cells [1]. The most common is monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), which is a premalignant PCD that consistently precedes multiple myeloma (MM), with a 1% risk of progression per year [2,3]. MGUS is found in 3.2% of individuals aged ≥50 years and 5.3% of those aged ≥70 years, increasing to 8.9% of men aged ≥85 years [4,5]. Because MGUS is more prevalent as we age, it follows that the incidence of MM is also strongly associated with age. (Source: Experimental Hematology)

Heme-dependent induction of mitophagy program during differentiation of murine erythroid cells
Heme is the principal component of hemoglobin that carries oxygen molecules that are abundantly produced during the maturation of erythroblasts into red blood cells (RBCs). Half of the steps of heme synthesis are catalyzed in mitochondria [1]. In contrast to this dependence on mitochondria for heme synthesis, erythroblasts undergo enucleation and clearance of cytoplasmic components, including mitochondria, which are potential consumers of oxygen and can generate deleterious reactive oxygen species (ROS).

In contrast to this dependence on mitochondria for heme synthesis, erythroblasts undergo enucleation and clearance of cytoplasmic components including mitochondria, which are potential oxygen consumers and can generate deleterious reactive oxygen species (ROS). The fidelity of this process is crucial to produce red blood cells with the capacity to transfer oxygen and confer organismal surv...

Reduced IFN- γ levels along with changes in hematologic and immunologic parameters are key to COVID-19 severity in Bangladeshi patients
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, engendered by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been a global disaster since its outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 [1]. As of March 2022, there were over 507 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and a death toll of more than 62 million, with the case fatality rate ranging from 0.04% to 18.18% reported worldwide; however, Bangladesh experienced approximately 2 million cases and total deaths of less than 30,000 [2].

Establishment of isogenic induced pluripotent stem cells with or without pathogenic mutation for understanding the pathogenesis of myeloproliferative neoplasms
BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis, are characterized by the expansion of at least one myeloid lineage cells caused by acquired somatic mutations [1]. A point mutation of valine to phenylalanine at position 617 (V617F) on Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) is the most common mutation found in MPNs [2-5]. JAK2 normally binds to the intracellular domain of cytokine receptors and transduces signals into cells in response to cytokines. (Source: Experimental Hematology)

Avatrombopag is effective in patients with chemoradiotherapy-induced aplastic anemia: a single-center, retrospective study
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a disease characterized by bone marrow hematopoietic failure. AA can be classified as inherited and acquired, and acquired AA can be further categorized into primary and secondary ones. Acquired primary AA includes severe AA (SAA) and non-SAA (NSAA) based on their peripheral blood cell count. In the past 30 years, immunosuppressive therapy (IST) containing antithymic globulin (ATG) and cyclosporin A has been used as the first-line drug therapy for SAA or transfusion-dependent NSAA not suitable for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) [1 –3].
