New findings shed light on the role of platelets in patients with cirrhosis
Study results could point to new possibilities for personalised therapeutic approaches Peer-Reviewed Publication MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA Next to other complications, cirrhosis is also linked to abnormalities in haemostasis. However, the role of alterations in platelet function had previously been insufficiently investigated. Now, researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have shed light on the...
New findings reveal important insights into age-related nonresolving inflammation

New findings on therapy-related myeloid cancers
by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center Credit: Blood (2022). DOI: 10.1182/blood-2022-158992 Scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have illuminated how treatments for multiple myeloma and other aggressive blood cancers can lead to future malignancies, called therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (tMNs). These findings from Sylvester’s Myeloma Research Institute highlight the importance of fully...
