July 08, 2021 Latest Research: Immunity to CMV, lymphoma microenvironment, and tPA induced bleeding
In this week's episode, we will review a study that addresses the issue of reconstitution of immunity to cytomegalovirus in transplant patients receiving the antiviral drug letermovir, learn more about the role extracellular vesicles play in forming a tumor supportive stromal cell niche in follicular lymphoma, and finally, look at a report identifying a mechanism that couples the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with tissue plasminogen activator to the development of intracerebral hemorrhage.

July 01, 2021 VEXAS: A Newly Identified Adult-onset Hemato-inflammatory Syndrome
Today’s podcast is a special edition that focuses exclusively on VEXAS syndrome, a newly identified adult-onset inflammatory syndrome with associated hematologic manifestations. VEXAS syndrome is a poor-prognosis disease caused by somatic mutations in the X-linked gene, UBA1. It was first reported by Beck and colleagues in the New England Journal of Medicine in December 2020.

June 24, 2021 Season 2, Episode 25
In this week’s episode, we will review a study that uses a combination of mouse models to identify IL-19 as a potent cytokine capable of promoting expansion and proliferation of neutrophils, examine the effects of targeted therapies on autoimmune cytopenia in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and learn about the mechanism of excessive complement activation caused by mutations in factor H-related protein 1 in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.

June 17, 2021 Season 2, Episode 24
In this week’s episode, we will review the role of the hypoxia pathway in regulating neutrophil migration, explore the relationship between endothelial extracellular vesicles and the hemostatic effects of clotting Factor VIIa, and finally look at long-term outcomes with the BTK-inhibitor acalabrutinib in treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.

June 10, 2021 Review Series on Platelets and Cancer
Platelets are critical for hemostasis and thrombosis, but recent research highlights their role in many other processes, including inflammation, wound healing, and lymphangiogenesis. In this episode, Drs. José López, Elisabeth Battinelli, Craig Williams, and Owen McCarty discuss the review series on platelets and cancer. The series focuses on the emerging role of platelets in cancer, influencing tumor growth and metastasis, immune evasion, and tumor angiogenesis. The reviews present the current understanding of mutual cross talk between platelets and tumors, communication mediated by RNA transfer and extracellular vesicles, and the potential of antiplatelet agents for cancer treatment.

June 10, 2021 Season 2, Episode 23
In this week’s episode, we will review a study demonstrating low rates of response to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, review a study looking at associations between post-transplantation cyclophosphamide and cytomegalovirus infection according to donor source, and look at new research indicating that abnormal venous calf muscle pump function in the legs is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and predictor of all-cause mortality.

June 03, 2021 Season 2, Episode 22
In this week’s episode, we will review a study in sickle cell disease patients reporting abnormal retention of mitochondria in circulating red cells and elevated mitochondrial DNA in plasma, learn more about the fate of FLT3-ITD clones in AML patients treated with midostaurin, and look at a study showing, for the first time, that selected elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma benefit from modification of standard myeloma treatment based on the level of frailty.

May 27, 2021 Season 2, Episode 21
In this week’s episode we will review a phase 1 clinical trial looking at novel fully humanized BCMA-targeting CAR in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, discuss a plenary paper reporting that different lymph nodes from patients with follicular lymphoma often have distinct clones, and finally, examine a Letter to Blood reporting high levels of markers of complement activation in plasma during quiescent phases in catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome patients.

May 20, 2021 Season 2, Episode 20
In this week’s episode, we will examine the prognostic significance of co-mutations in IDH-mutated AML, explore an alternative method of warfarin monitoring, and finally, consider the role of tumor suppressor TP53 in determining response to venetoclax and related agents.
21 min
May 13, 2021 Season 2, Episode 19
In this week’s episode, we will review a randomized phase 3 study of patients with high-risk peripheral T-cell lymphoma that compares results from autologous versus allogeneic stem cell transplant during consolidation, look at a report that examines the significance of ABO-incompatible platelet transfusion on outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage, and learn about how immune dysregulation mediated by tumor interferon signaling and myeloid-derived suppressor cells is associated with CAR-T-cell resistance in large B-cell lymphoma.
