TL;DR: F‐PCR analysis is a rapid, affordable, and easily performable technique that, in some circumstances, may be a valid approach for minimal residual disease investigations in MM.

TL;DR: It is concluded that prior to PBSCT, hematopoietic function is impaired at both the level of committed progenitor cells and that of BM stroma, which could influence platelet recovery.

TL;DR: The results show that intermediate MDS-MPD cases are relatively common and that in vitro characteristics, i.e. high clonogenic capacity with a high cluster/colony ratio and scanty autonomous growth, in patients showing myelodysplastic features could contribute to an early diagnosis in these cases.
