Impact of Babesiosis on Red Blood Cell Function in Sickle Cell Disease

In this week's episode, we’ll learn more about how measurable residual disease might help guide decisions about post-transplant gilteritinib maintenance in FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia, or AML; how stemness contributes to chemotherapy resistance in AML; and effects of babesiosis on red blood cells from individuals with sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait, and wild-type hemoglobin.
