Lisocabtagene maraleucel in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma; reciprocal stabilization of coagulation factor XIII-A and -B subunits; inotuzumab ozogamicin for MRD in ALL
In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a two-year follow-up study of lisocabtagene maraleucel in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, learn more about how reciprocal stabilization of coagulation factor XIII-A and -B subunits influences plasma FXIII concentration, and discuss the findings from a phase 2 study of inotuzumab ozogamicin for measurable residual disease in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission.

Maternal anticancer drug exposure and leukemia; PIEZO1-TMEM16F coupling in hereditary xerocytosis; NPM1 MRD during venetoclax therapy in NPM1-mutated AML
In this week’s episode, we’ll discuss the association between occupational exposure to anticancer agents in a parent and subsequent cancer in a child. Then we’ll learn about deciphering and disrupting the activation of PIEZO1 in hereditary xerocytosis. Finally, we’ll hear about the assessment of measurable residual disease, or MRD, in patients with NPM1-mutated AML, or acute myeloid leukemia, receiving venetoclax-based NON-intensive therapy.

TCRαβ/CD19-cell depleted haploHSCT for pediatric leukemia; malignancy-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in Sweden; the bone marrow as the primary site of thrombopoiesis
In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a prospective trial of TCRαβ/CD19-cell depleted HLA-haploidentical transplantation to treat pediatric acute leukemia, learn more about the incidence, clinical characteristics, and survival of malignancy-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in Sweden, and discuss the bone marrow as the primary site of thrombopoiesis.

Fibrin polymerization and thrombosis; preventing CD19-negative relapse after CAR T-cell therapy in ALL; and impact of aberrant FUS condensates on HSC aging
In this week's episode we’ll explore the role of fibrinogen polymerization in thrombosis. Then, we’ll discuss preventing CD19-negative relapse after CAR T-cell therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Finally, we’ll learn how increased levels of the RNA-binding protein FUS has been identified as an effector of hematopoietic stem cell aging.

CD24Fc for prevention of GVHD; origins of active EBV disease; the role of PF4 in platelet activation
In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a phase 2 study of CD24Fc for prevention of graft-versus-host disease, learn more about the origins of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease, and discuss the role of PF4 in platelet activation.

Profiling a new VITT-like disorder; real-world outcomes of tafasitamab and lenalidomide in LBCL; and spatial mapping of human hematopoiesis
In this week's episode we'll uncover the clinical and pathological profile of a new disorder similar to VITT, or vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. Then, we'll discuss real-world outcomes in patients with large B-cell lymphoma treated with tafasitamab and lenalidomide. Finally we'll learn about how advances in technology help unravel the spatial biology of bone marrow.

A natural history of familial platelet disorder with myeloid malignancy; HEXIM1 as an essential transcription regulator in erythropoiesis; residual disease predicts relapse in CML patients
In this week's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a natural history study of patients with familial platelet disorder with myeloid malignancy, learn more about the role of HEXIM1 as an essential transcription regulator in human erythropoiesis, and discuss the utility of residual disease as a predictor of relapse in CML patients stopping TKI therapy.

ETP and MRD for risk assessment in T-ALL; allogeneic HCT outcomes in CGD; effects of pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in inherited hemostasis disorders
On today's episode we’ll discuss the prognostic significance of the ETP phenotype in children with T-cell ALL, address knowledge gaps in the management of chronic granulomatous disease and learn about the effects of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants for inherited hemostasis disorders.

Sorafenib plus intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD AML; inhibition of PLK4 in TP53-mutated AML; the role of CD44 in Plasmodium falciparum infection
On today's episode we’ll discuss the findings from a phase 2 study of sorafenib plus intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD AML, learn more about the inhibition of PLK4 in TP53-mutated AML, and discuss the role of CD44 in Plasmodium falciparum infection.

High-risk cytogenetics in solitary bone plasmacytomas; complement activation in vaso-occlusive pain episodes; platelet reactivity to predict thrombotic disease risk
On today’s podcast we'll discuss high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities in solitary bone plasmacytomas. Then, we'll consider complement activation in vaso-occlusive pain episodes and how targeting C5a generation inhibited those effects. Finally we'll explore the genetics of platelet reactivity and how researchers used this data to develop a genetic score that was associated with risk of thrombotic diseases.
