Treatment can provide responses in patients with this complex autoinflammatory disorder. But relapse rates were high, so long-term therapy may be required to maintain disease control. After that: A step forward in precision blood matching. High-throughput array genotyping enables extended matching to reduce antibody formation. The results show the potential for reducing harm in regularly transfused patients. Finally, identifying a new vulnerability in TP53-mutated AML. Loss of the tumor suppressor BAP1 defines a unique subtype of TP53-mutated de novo AML. BAP1 loss also confers sensitivity to BCL-xL inhibitors in vivo, opening a new therapeutic avenue.Featured ArticlesEfficacy and safety of azacitidine for VEXAS syndrome: a large-scale retrospective study from FRENVEXArray genotyping of transfusion-relevant blood cell antigens in 6946 ancestrally diverse study participantsLoss of BAP1 defines a unique subtype of TP53-mutated de novo AML and confers sensitivity to BCL-xL inhibitors","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/v7MGyoJEM-ebFBYi5VpSwDRF3QY3zbinfCyyOAH1TGk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kY2Q4/YzJhZmMwODBjOWRi/YTNhN2Y1NWJkMzMw/NTBjZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
