High-Dimensional Mass Cytometry Analysis of Embryonic Antigens and Their Signaling Pathways in Myeloid Cells from Bone Marrow Aspirates in AML Patients at Diagnosis.

Background: Embryonic antigens (EA) regulate pluripotency, self-renewal, and differentiation in embryonic stem (ES) cells during their development. In adult somatic cells, EA expression is normally inhibited; however, EAs can be re-expressed by cancer cells and are involved in the deregulation of different signaling pathways (SPs). In the context of AML, data concerning the expression of EAs are scarce and contradictory.

Advanced practice nurse management in multiple myeloma treated with oral therapy.

Introduction: Therapeutic approaches in Multiple Myeloma (MM) have considerably changed over the last few years, with effective oral chemotherapy and continuous treatment. In this context, the objective of this study was to examine the circuitry of an advanced practitioner nurse (APN)-led intervention that provided supportive care for MM patients treated with oral chemotherapy.

Methods: This population-based study was conducted at the hematology department - Institut de Cancérologie Lucien Neuwirth (ICLN, Saint-Priest-en-Jarez), from April 2017 to September 2020.

External validation of the MidiCAT variant of thrombography: Comparison with calibrated automated thrombography and study of the centrifugation scheme.

Introduction: To perform Calibrated Automated Thrombography (CAT), the use of reduced plasma volumes (referred to as "MidiCAT") makes it possible to more efficiently use limited volumes of valuable biobanked plasma samples and decreases expenses for reagents. It is, however, unclear whether the MidiCAT procedure is suitable when thrombin generation (TG) is studied in the presence of added thrombomodulin (TG-TM). Moreover, a simplified centrifugation scheme would facilitate biobanking, if appropriate, for more sensitive coagulation studies.
