Genetic diversity in RHD and RHCE genes among a selected Kenyan blood donor population

open access: yesTransfusion, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1192-1202, June 2026.
Abstract Background Serologic typing for ABO and RhD is standard in transfusion services, with extended serology and genotyping performed to reduce red cell alloimmunization risk. In Kenya, RH typing is limited to RhD, and genotyping is unavailable. This study used RHD/RHCE genotyping to predict phenotypes and their distribution in a Kenyan blood donor

Routine transfusion of Rh(D)‐positive RBCs to Rh(D)‐negative patients designated as do not resuscitate conserves Rh(D)‐negative red blood cell inventory

open access: yesTransfusion, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1108-1112, June 2026.
Abstract Background A minority of blood donors are Rh(D)‐negative, and Rh(D)‐negative red blood cell (RBC) products are often overutilized. As such, Rh(D)‐negative RBCs may be difficult to maintain in blood bank inventory. Study Design and Methods We changed our blood bank laboratory policy to approve non‐alloimmunized Rh(D)‐negative patients to ...

The status of cell and gene therapy education in medical schools—An international survey

open access: yesTransfusion, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1160-1166, June 2026.
Abstract Introduction Cell and gene therapy (CGT) has emerged as a distinct medical field with more than 50 “Food and Drug Administration (FDA)”‐approved products treating conditions from leukemia to sickle cell disease. Despite this therapeutic revolution and the field's inherent complexity, the status of CGT education in medical schools remains ...

Hold on to your units: Quality of red cell concentrates is only affected after multiple transient warming events

open access: yesTransfusion, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1180-1191, June 2026.
Abstract Background Cryopreserved red cell concentrates (RCCs) glycerolized using a high glycerol (40%) method can be stored below −65°C for up to 30 years; however, units may be inadvertently warmed above −65°C due to freezer failures, human errors, or routine inventory management.

Addressing racial disparities in representation across blood, stem cell and organ and tissue donor pools

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 6, Page 710-721, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives Adequate representation of donors from diverse ancestral populations in blood, stem cell and organ transplantation is critical to ensuring equitable access to these lifesaving therapies. Because of population‐level differences in genetic markers, patients from racialized groups may have unique transfusion and ...
