A study, published on Jan. 20 in PNAS, identifies cell-free DNA as a highly versatile analyte for monitoring of the most important complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation: Graft-Versus-Host Disease, infection, graft failure and disease relapse. Hematopoietic cell transplantation is the gold standard treatment for many blood disorders, including blood cancers. Nonetheless, frequent post-transplant complications limit …

A study, published on Aug. 12 in Nature, identifies several molecular patterns that recognise pattern recognition receptors. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are commonly used terminologies to classify molecules originating from pathogen and endogenous molecules, respectively, to heighten the immune response in sepsis. The authors focused on a subgroup of endogenous molecules …

A recent publication demonstrates the close connection between immune dysfunction in T cells and neutrophils that can be targeted by interfering with microbial sequestration in the spleen or by eliminating circulating chromatin. The presence of G-CSF and circulating histones in many conditions suggests that they may be critical drivers of immune dysfunction that could be …

A new publication highlights a potential role of neutrophils in pulmonary long COVID. Individuals who had persistent pulmonary symptoms, showed a neutrophil-associated inflammatory phenotype and evidence of NETs in blood. The publication was published on Nov. 16 in Science Translational Medicine. It is also co-authored by Dr Andrew Aswani – our Chief Medical Officer. Interstitial lung disease …
