The European Hematology Association (EHA) updated its research roadmap to guide future hematology studies. This roadmap highlights urgent priorities in blood disorder research and treatment for better policy and funding.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Translational Research
- European Policy
Background:
- The European Hematology Association (EHA) initially published its Research Roadmap in 2016.
- The roadmap aimed to identify key achievements and urgent needs in hematology research and diagnostics.
- It served to inform European policymakers and stakeholders about the field's priorities.
Discussion:
- Significant advancements in hematology necessitate an updated roadmap.
- The EHA's revised roadmap now encompasses 11 distinct sections, each addressing critical areas within hematology.
- These sections will be published individually to facilitate focused dissemination.
Key Insights:
- The updated roadmap identifies the most pressing priorities for hematology research and clinical science.
- It aims to foster a more informed, focused, and adequately funded future for European hematology.
- The roadmap covers a comprehensive range of topics from normal hematopoiesis to advanced therapies like CAR-T and gene therapy.
Outlook:
- The EHA Research Roadmap provides a strategic direction for future research endeavors.
- It seeks to enhance collaboration and resource allocation within the European hematology community.
- The roadmap's updated priorities are expected to accelerate progress in diagnosing and treating blood disorders.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...

Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
