Fibrosis is estimated to be involved in 45% of global mortality, and currently no specific therapies for fibrosis in most organs exist. One central and controversially discussed question in the field of organ fibrosis is: “is fibrosis truly reversible”? In Rewind-MF, I will address this biologically and clinically highly relevant question in a prime example: bone marrow fibrosis in a chronic blood cancer called Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF). In PMF, hematopoietic stem cells become mutated and activate fibrosis-driving cells. Fibrosis reversal in PMF is possible through allogeneic stem cell transplant (ASCT). However, the majority of patients are not eligible for this high-risk procedure.…
