Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased erythropoietin response in patients with the anemia of cancer.

TL;DR: It is concluded that erythropoietin levels are inappropriately low in anemia associated with cancer, and that eriespheric deficiency may contribute to the development of this form of anemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polycythemia vera: myths, mechanisms, and management.

TL;DR: Polycythemia vera is a clonal disorder arising in a multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cell that causes the accumulation of morphologically normal red cells, white cells, platelets, and their progenitors in the absence of a definable stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells from blood cells of healthy donors and patients with acquired blood disorders

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from postnatal human blood cells and the potential of these pluripotency cells for disease modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired expression of the thrombopoietin receptor by platelets from patients with polycythemia vera.

TL;DR: Impaired thrombopoietin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins in patients with these two diseases was uniformly associated with markedly reduced expression of MpI or the lack of its expression, and appears to distinguish polycythemia vera from other-forms of erythrocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

American Society of Clinical Oncology/American Society of Hematology Clinical Practice Guideline Update on the Use of Epoetin and Darbepoetin in Adult Patients With Cancer

TL;DR: Recommendations: ESAs should be avoided in patients with cancer not receiving concurrent chemotherapy, except for those with lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes, and Caution should be exercised when using ESAs with chemotherapeutic agents in diseases associated with increased risk of thromboembolic complications.
