Description

In this week's podcast, we’ll look at work from researchers who found pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants of cancer predisposition genes in nearly 14% of adults with AML. Next, we’ll review research demonstrating that a recently identified series of resolvins reduces neutrophil extracellular trap formation and enhances clearance of these NETs by macrophages, suggesting a new mechanism for the resolution of inflammation and coagulopathies associated with various infections. We’ll conclude with research demonstrating that patients with CLL undergoing long-term venetoclax treatment exhibit a high incidence of cytopenias, clonal hematopoiesis, and myeloid neoplasms, and may acquire BAX mutations in normal myeloid cells.
