Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by altered maturation and differentiation of myeloid blasts, as well as transcriptional/epigenetic alterations, all leading to excessive proliferation of malignant blood cells in the bone marrow. Tumor heterogeneity due to the acquisition of new somatic alterations leads to a high rate of resistance to current therapies or reduces the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), thus increasing the risk of relapse and mortality. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) will enable the classification of AML and guide treatment approaches by profiling patients with different facets of the same disease, stratifying risk, and identifying new potential therapeutic targets at the time of diagnosis or after treatment.

Cas12a is a next-generation gene editing tool that enables multiplexed gene targeting. Here, we present a mouse model that constitutively expresses enhanced Acidaminococcus sp. Cas12a (enAsCas12a) linked to an mCherry fluorescent reporter.

GATA2 germline mutations lead to a syndrome characterized by immunodeficiency, vascular disorders and myeloid malignancies. To elucidate how these mutations affect hematopoietic homeostasis, we created a knock-in mouse model expressing the recurrent Gata2 R396Q missense mutation. Employing molecular and functional approaches, we investigated the mutation's impact on hematopoiesis, revealing significant alterations in the hematopoietic stem and progenitor (HSPC) compartment in young age.

Among the latter, previous reports have identified FLT-3 mutations in up to 5% of pediatric patients, however the full clinical significance of these mutations in the non-pediatric population is still uncertain.
Methods: Our cohort includes AYA patients with ALL treated with the NY-II and BFM protocols at different time periods, allowing analysis of prognostic factors and survival outcomes.

Objectives: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy associated with severe deficiency in ADAMTS13. ADAMTS13 deficiency may be secondary to absent or dysfunctional protein production due to mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene (congenital TTP) or autoantibody-mediated clearance and/or inhibition (immune-mediated TTP). This autoimmunity may, albeit rarely, occur secondary to certain medications (eg, ticlopidine).
