Exciting times for mutCALR MPNs - lovely data from the ET cohort presented in late breaking abstract at @EHA_Hematology. Rapid platelet control after just 2 doses with 89% of patients benefitting from a molecular response with INCA033989. @mpnvoice.bsky.social @mpnrf.bsky.social @mpnhv.bsky.social

Check our commentary on the amazing work by Falgas et all on developing a TIM-3 armored CAR-T therapy
The failure of this mode of treatment is often ascribed to impaired patient T-cell “fitness” or the deleterious effect of the immunosuppressive B-ALL tumor microenvironment on CAR-T function in vivo. buff.ly/SVUZtgk #hemesky #immunobiologyandimmunotherapy

🚨Very excited to see our work with Prof Claire Roddie out in @bloodjournal.bsky.social

CAR-T has revolutionized treatment for B-ALL, but what’s next? We discuss innovations, challenges, and the road ahead.

Fantastic news and very well deserved award!!! It has been amazing working together
Super proud of brilliant NIH-OxCAM PhD student ZoeWong for winning the Doug Higgs Best Abstract award at Oxford Centre for Haematology Day @ox.ac.uk @ouhospitals.bsky.social @imm.ox.ac.uk, for her collab project with @alexrampotas.bsky.social. They are racking up prizes betw them…paper coming!

Very nice review. As we have more options for myelofibrosis the choice of the right JAKi at the right time becomes ever more important
