Unravelling follicular lymphoma subtypes; stroke rate trends in sickle cell disease; procoagulant platelet activation promotes venous thrombosis

In this week's episode, unravelling follicular lymphoma subtypes. Researchers dissect the biological diversity of follicular lymphoma and introduce a new prognostic mode, that could change the way this B-cell neoplasm is subtyped and treated. Then, concerning stroke rate trends in sickle cell disease. A new report shows increasing rates of cerebrovascular events among people with SCD in California. Finally, procoagulant platelet activation promotes venous thrombosis. Investigators report finding procoagulant platelets in the circulation and in thrombi of patients and mice with DVT or PE.
