Myeloproliferative neoplasms
Substantial progress has been made in our understanding of the pathogenetic basis of myeloproliferative neoplasms. The discovery of mutations in JAK2 over a decade ago heralded a new age for patient care as a consequence of...

The myeloproliferative neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders characterized by the overproduction of mature cells in the peripheral blood, together with an increased risk of thrombosis and progression to acute...

Continuous Indexing of Fibrosis (CIF)
The grading of fibrosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is an important component of disease classification, prognostication and monitoring. However, current fibrosis grading systems are only semi-quantitative and fail to...

Zinc-dependent multimerization of mutant calreticulin is required for MPL binding and MPN pathogenesis.
Calreticulin (CALR) is mutated in the majority of JAK2/MPL-unmutated myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Mutant CALR (CALRdel52) exerts its effect by binding to the thrombopoietin receptor MPL to cause constitutive activation...

Mutant CALR functions
In this issue of Blood, Shide et al separate the roles of loss of a normal CALR allele and gain of a mutant CALR allele in CALR-driven essential thrombocythemia (ET).
