Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on hematopoiesis, including the study of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, their clonal relationships, and differentiation pathways. It also covers hematologic malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), multiple myeloma (MM), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), exploring their genetic underpinnings, therapeutic targets, and treatment outcomes. Additionally, the journal investigates blood cell biology, including platelet function, red blood cell metabolism, and the role of immune cells like natural killer (NK) cells in hematologic disorders and treatments.
