In this week’s episode, we will review a study that describes how transfer of whole mitochondria from hematopoietic stem cells to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells helps regenerate the stroma and its capacity to sustain hematopoietic recovery in irradiated mice undergoing stem cell transplant, examine the potential benefit of adding the BCL2-inhibitor, venetoclax, to standard treatment regimens for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, and finally, we will learn more about how NCOA4, the autophagic receptor for ferritin, is necessary for the mobilization of liver iron stores during stress erythropoiesis.
