Inhibition of P-selectin as an anticoagulant, prognostic implications of CEBPA mutations in AML, and treating sickle cell disease with voxelitor

In this week’s episode, we’ll review a study that demonstrates the efficacy of a synthetic inhibitor termed P-G6 that blocks P-selectin signaling and reduces thrombus formation in a pre-clinical model of non-occlusive venous thrombosis, learn more about how biallelic and single bZip CEBPA mutations have an equally favorable prognostic impact in acute myeloid leukemia, and examine the effects of modifying the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia with therapeutic agents that increase oxygen affinity.
