Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) functions have long been difficult to study under physiological conditions. Recently, genetic in vivo approaches have been developed for lineage tracing of differentiating progeny emerging from HSC over time (output), and for high-resolution, endogenous barcoding to uncover the lineages that HSC contribute to (fate). Such fate measurements have in principle led to the recognition of three major fate groups of HSC: multilineage, myelo-erythroid-restricted, and inactive, that is, no or no known progeny, in addition to a minor group of megakaryocyte-restricted HSC. The most recent RNA-barcoding experiments have begun to directly link fate measurements with transcriptome reading in HSC clones and single HSC, which yielded insights into transcriptional signatures associated with fate patterns. Here, we discuss these findings in light of the structure of the hematopoietic differentiation hierarchy, and we provide an outlook on strategies to dissect molecular determinants of HSC fates.

Aim: To describe tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment patterns and analyze co-variates of TKI switch for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in a center from China.
Methods: A retrospectively study was designed to analyze TKI switching patterns, reasons and associated covariates in patients with CP-CML.
Results: 1766 patients receiving initial imatinib (n = 1374), nilotinib (n = 254), dasatinib (n = 63) and flumatinib (n = 75) therapy were retrospectively interrogated.

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used to restore bone marrow function after high-dose chemotherapy. For apheresis, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is standard of care, but obtaining sufficient stem cells can be challenging. Other mobilization agents include plerixafor and PEGylated G-CSF (PEG-G-CSF).

Hematopoietic development is tightly regulated by various factors. The role of RNA m6A modification during fetal hematopoiesis, particularly in megakaryopoiesis, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that loss of m6A methyltransferase METTL3 induces formation of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and activates acute inflammation during fetal hematopoiesis.

Invasive pulmonary infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. A delay in identifying a causative agent may result in late initiation of appropriate treatment and adverse clinical outcomes. We examine the diagnostic utility of PCR-based assays in evaluating invasive pulmonary infections from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

Tamoxifen (TAM) is employed to treat premenopausal ER-positive breast cancer patients, but TAM resistance is the main reason affecting its efficacy. Thus, addressing TAM resistance is crucial for improving therapeutic outcomes. This study explored the potential role of Tinagl1, a secreted extracellular matrix protein, whose expression is compromised in TAM-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7R).
