    MPN Stem Cells Suffer From ‘Corrupting Influence’

    Interferon has been shown to be very effective in some patients with MPNs, often alleviating their fatigue, enlarged spleen, and other symptoms. Some patients show important additional benefits, such as molecular response, even long-term remission and the delay of disease progression. For others with ET, PV or MF, interferon has no measurable effect. As part… Read More »MPN Stem Cells Suffer From ‘Corrupting Influence’

    Identifying and Validating Actionable Biomarkers in MPN  

    Research Spotlight on Rebekka Schneider, MD, Director, Department of Cell and Tumor Biology, Aachen University, Germany, and Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, The Netherlands. In MPNs, your blood forming stem cell acquires a mutation, and this leads to more proliferation. In the beginning, you have too many blood cells. Then, in the course of the disease,… Read More »Identifying and Validating Actionable Biomarkers in MPN
