Biopsy-based calibration of T2* magnetic resonance for estimation of liver iron concentration and comparison with R2 Ferriscan. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There is a need to standardise non-invasive measurements of liver iron concentrations (LIC) so clear inferences can be drawn about body iron levels that are associated with hepatic and extra-hepatic complications of iron overload.

Methods and Challenges in Purifying Drug‐Loaded Extracellular Vesicles
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EV) have emerged as promising nanocarriers for drug delivery. However, the efficient loading of therapeutic molecules into EV and the subsequent purification of drug‐loaded EV from unloaded drugs remain significant challenges. This review explores the most used methods for EV purification, meaning the separation of drug‐

Pretransplant serum ferritin and C-reactive protein as predictive factors for early bacterial infection after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. [PDF]
Although fluoroquinolones or other antibiotics are commonly used to prevent bacterial infections after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), because of the growing presence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, it is important to identify patients ...

Summary Patients with transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia (TDT) require chronic, life‐sustaining red blood cell transfusions, which contribute to iron overload and associated morbidity and mortality. Luspatercept, an inhibitor of the transforming growth factor‐beta pathway, decreases transfusion requirements in a subset of transfusion‐dependent β ...
