Blood Podcast

This week’s episode will examine the critical role of platelet necrosis in ischemic stroke injury, the discovery of the molecular basis for the PEL blood group, and the impact of NPM1/FLT3-ITD genotypes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

In this episode we welcome Drs. Thomas Ortel, Jeffrey Weitz, and Kenneth Bauer as they discuss the Blood Review Series on the Treatment of Venous Thrombotic Disorders. In this review series, experts contribute 6 seminal reviews that focus on the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adults and children, the management of VTE developing in unusual locations and in the setting of thrombophili...

In this episode we’ll examine a new strategy to improve the durability of remission after CAR T-cell therapy for pediatric B cell leukemia, explore the genomic landscape of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas, and discuss a new report showing that the occurrence of arterial thrombotic events following the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasms is associated with a signific...

Today we’ll examine the role of heredity vs. environmental factors in the evolution of age-related clonal hematopoiesis, review the first systematic approach to uncover all possible activating point mutations within and around the transmembrane domain of the thrombopoietin receptor in myeloproliferative neoplasms, and discuss the role of complement activation and mutations in complement regulatory...

In this episode we highlight the development of intensified T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-focused protocols, the use of a thrombopoietin agonist for thrombocytopenia following allogeneic hematopoieticstem cell transplantation, and a crucial step forward in the development of miRNA therapies targeting myeloid diseases.

This episode will explore the consequences of a loss of the interaction between mutant calreticulin and another ER resident protein, and how this may promote myeloproliferative neoplasms, the role of a calcium-induced transcription factor in driving diffuse large B-cell lymphoma signaling, and a comparison of two therapies for standard risk acute graft-versus-host disease.

This episode will highlight a unique treatment for refractory hematologic malignancies, therapy-induced mutations impacting the genomic landscape of relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and a unique approach to avoiding chronic graft-versus-host disease.

This episode explores four compelling topics which include: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, a severe and potentially fatal systemic inflammatory syndrome, CAR T-cell therapy in follicular lymphomas, Sickle Cell Anemia and sickle trait in thrombosis, and mutated calreticulin in myeloproliferative disorders.

The topics in this episode include studies on the mechanism of progression in myelodysplastic syndromes, the value of gait speed as a predictor of outcomes in older adults with hematologic malignancies, the role of extended eltrombobag therapy on severe aplastic anemia, and the role of the Hedghog pathway mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This episode discusses the immune engine in classical Hodgkin Lymphoma, osteopontin’s keyrole in the chemoattraction of neutrophils in transfusion-related acute lunginjury,B-1 progenitor acute lymphoid leukemia, and exciting new ideas for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia treatment.

This episode highlights articles and commentaries that help expand our understanding of prognostic biomarkers in CLL, learn more about a streamlined analysis of the granulocyte transcriptome in myeloproliferative neoplasms, explore the role of neutrophil extra cellulartraps in adenosine deaminase deficiency, and examine the function of the plant homeodomain-like finger protein 6, in hematopoietic...
