Learn about blood immunology through a comprehensive course covering fundamental concepts to clinical applications, exploring topics like hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, immune checkpoint blockade in tumor immunotherapy, and CAR-T therapy. Examine the role of platelets as immune regulators, understand translational research models for treating hematological disorders, and study the spleen's function in immune response. Discover the development of immune cells from human pluripotent stem cells, analyze immunohematology receptors, and investigate the versatile nature of platelets with specific implications for ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia). Gain insights into the historical development, current practices, and future directions of ITP treatment while building a strong foundation in blood immunology principles and their clinical applications.
