Latest SDS Research

Can we prevent leukemia in patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome?

“Once patients with SDS develop leukemia, the prognosis is poor. The best chance of prolonging survival is to intervene before the leukemia starts.”

Bone marrow-on-a-chip provides new research directions for SDS

A research tool that mimics the behavior of diseased bone marrow provides a new strategy for understanding SDS and, hopefully, for developing new treatments.
