Can Platelets Be Genetically Engineered in Blood Bank Conditions?

In this week's episode we’ll learn more about a new risk classification scheme for use in patients with acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for intensive therapy, efficacy and safety of daratumumab plus chemotherapy in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma, and a blood bank-compatible method for creating genetically engineered platelets with a wide range of potential uses.
