BLOOD COMMENTARIES
BLOOD SPOTLIGHT
Emapalumab for the treatment of relapsed/refractory hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
Clinical Trials & Observations
This Blood Spotlight highlights the background and recent data surrounding the use of the recently approved interferon-γ neutralizing antibody emapalumab, Gamifant, for the treatment of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
REVIEW ARTICLE
Common variable immune deficiency: case studies
Clinical Trials & Observations
In this review, the authors describe 3 patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), noting the disease manifestations most relevant to the practicing hematologist, especially autoimmune cytopenias, benign lymphoproliferation, granulomatous disease, and lymphomas such as common noninfectious complications of CVID.
Treatment-naive CLL: lessons from phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials
Clinical Trials & Observations
This article provides a comprehensive review of the first-line therapy in the rapidly evolving field of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
HOW I TREAT
How we perform haploidentical stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide
In this How I Treat article, the authors describe their clinical approach to this rapidly available transplantation platform and address some of the key clinical questions associated with its use.
CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS
Ublituximab and umbralisib in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Clinical Trials & Observations
LYMPHOID NEOPLASIA
Genetic characterization of B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia: a prognostic model involving MYC and TP53
CME
This article presents a comprehensive genetic, clinical, and drug sensitivity analysis of a large series of B-prolymphocytic leukemia cases, illustrating new findings with implications for predicting clinical outcomes and suggesting novel targets for therapy.
MYELOID NEOPLASIA
JAK2-mutant hematopoietic cells display metabolic alterations that can be targeted to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms
This article reports metabolic consequences of JAK2-mutant myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) with a therapeutic translational impact: expression of mutant JAK2 induces abnormal metabolic activity of MPN cells, resulting in hypoglycemia, adipose tissue atrophy, and early mortality.
PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS
Pivotal role of PDK1 in megakaryocyte cytoskeletal dynamics and polarization during platelet biogenesis
The investigators explore the role of PDK1 (phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1) in the cytoskeletal regulation of platelet production and furnish new insights into megakaryocyte maturation and proplatelet formation.
THROMBOSIS AND HEMOSTASIS
Eosinophil-platelet interactions promote atherosclerosis and stabilize thrombosis with eosinophil extracellular traps
This study uses genetic and pharmacologic approaches to demonstrate novel roles of eosinophils in the progression of atherosclerosis and arterial thrombosis.

A healthy megakaryocyte in a hematoxylin and eosin–stained bone marrow section from Hippo kinase–deficient mice. These mice develop megakaryocytic dysplasia and thrombocytopenia, reflecting clinical features of hematologic malignancies with the recurring del(20q) mutation.
