Decitabine in older patients with AML; EPCR and sickle chronic kidney disease; lymphocyte depletion versus post-transplant cyclophosphamide for mismatched donor transplant for inborn errors of immunity

In this week's episode we’ll discuss the safety and efficacy of decitabine in older patients with AML; learn how heme-induced loss of renovascular endothelial protein C receptor promotes chronic kidney disease in sickle mice, and discuss the outcomes of treatment with HLA-mismatched HSCT with TCRab/CD19 lymphocyte depletion or post-HSCT cyclophosphamide for inborn errors of immunity.
