Background: V617F-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) exhibit abnormal proliferation of bone marrow progenitors and increased risk of thrombosis, specifically in splanchnic veins (SVT). The contribution of the endothelium to the development of the prothrombotic phenotype was explored.
Material And Methods: Plasma and serum samples from V617F MPN patients with (n=26) or without (n=7) thrombotic debut and different treatments, were obtained (n=33).

Since 2021 the use of G-CSF was implemented in allo-HCT with PTCY-based prophylaxis with the aim of shortening the aplastic phase and reducing infectious complications. This study investigates the effectiveness of this change in protocol performed at our institution. One-hundred forty-six adults undergoing allo-HCT with PTCY-based prophylaxis were included, and among them, 58 (40%) received G-CSF.

Endothelial cells are continually exposed to cellular and humoral factors, and to all those elements (biological, chemical, or hemodynamic) that circulate in blood at a certain time. It can adapt to different stimuli but this capability may be lost if the stimuli are strong enough and/or persistent in time.
