ASH Journal Club - October 13, 3 pm Eastern

The ASH Journal Club is a series that highlights seminal papers in hematology published in Blood and Blood Advances and features a manuscript author as part of the engagement.  Join us on October 13 from 3 pm Eastern time to discuss “Hypofibrinogenemia with preserved hemostasis and protection from thrombosis in mice with an Fga truncation mutation”.  Blood (2022) 139 (9): 1374–1388. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2021012537 .

The discussion will feature special guest and lead author of the paper, Woosuk Steve Hur, PhD from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Three moderated discussions will take place on the following topics:

Aspects of basic biology, moderated by A. Valance Washington, Ph.D., Oakland University

Troubleshooting techniques, moderated by Christian Kastrup, PhD, Medical College of Wisconsin

Clinical implications, moderated by Joan Beckman, MD, PhD, University of Minnesota

Learning Objectives

In this session of the ASH Journal Club, we will discuss hypofibrinogenemia resulting from decay of mutant Fga mRNA in mice and effects on hemostasis, antimicrobial function and venus thrombosis.
