Circulating Tumor Cells in Multiple Myeloma: From Peripheral Clues to Central Insights
CTC offer a minimally invasive widow into systemic myeloma biology, overcoming the sampling bias of bone marrow biopsies. Their prognostic value at diagnosis, potential role in MRD monitoring, and ability to capture clonal evolution highlight them as actionable biomarkers for future precision medicine.

ABSTRACT Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 (GS2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the RAB27A gene. Typically, it is characterized by cutaneous hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, with or without neurological abnormalities secondary to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Without treatment, GS2 often results in fatal

Ovarian insufficiency following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Ovarian insufficiency is a serious complication for young women who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) has been utilized more widely due to its reduced toxicity; however, there is a lack of data concerning ovarian function after HSCT with RIC. We investigated the ovarian function in patients who
