In double cord blood transplantation, one unit engrafts and the other is rejected—but the losing unit might be doing more than previously imagined. A 2025 Blood Advances study from the Eurocord–EBMT registry reveals how the immunological battle between cord units can be redirected against leukaemia, particularly when the patient and losing unit share the right HLA mismatches. In this episode, we unpack the elegant biology behind this unintended vaccine effect, explore the surprising lack of e...

Rapid Review: Paediatric/AYA AML Transplant Decisions in the Molecular Era
Which children and young adults with acute myeloid leukaemia should receive transplant in first remission? In this Rapid Review, we explore a landmark analysis by Huang et al., published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in April 2025. Reclassifying over 1,400 patients using AAML1831 criteria, the study offers a contemporary perspective on who gains from transplant—and who doesn't. The results are compelling: disease-free survival doubles for most molecularly defined high-risk patients, whi...
