We are happy to congratulate our PhD student, Damian Mikulski, M.D., for recently published correspondence “MicroRNAs predict early complications of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation” in Biomarker Research!

The study focus on autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT), specifically examining changes in circulating miRNAs in patients to predict early complications related to the procedure. In the work, we identified specific miRNAs, which levels change is associated with risk of bacteremia. The final miRNA-based neural network model successfully predicts bacteremia with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. This is another study from our Department that suggests that monitoring miRNA levels could serve as effective biomarkers for improving patient outcomes, predicting and managing potential complications – this time during AHSCT.
