Advancements in Transplant Biology and Novel Treatments for Macrophage Activation Syndrome

In this week's episode we'll learn more about enhanced transplant characteristics; targeting the JAK-STAT pathway with ruxolitinib in patients with adult-onset Still’s disease and macrophage activation syndrome; and a pair of trials demonstrating lack of benefit for the anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody magrolimab in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
