Clinical Evaluation of Pediatric and Adults with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are disorders caused by abnormal blood cell production, potentially leading to low cell counts and increased susceptibility to clotting and infections. Past research suggests that inflammation may trigger these abnormalities, and this study seeks to further understand and improve treatment strategies for MDS by investigating the role of inflammation in bone marrow cell development.
Research Study for Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA)
