Abstract
An enhanced understanding of the importance of Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signalling in multiple disease states has led to an increasing applicability of therapeutic intervention with JAK inhibitors. These agents have revolutionised treatments for a heterogeneous group of disorders, such as myeloproliferative neoplasms, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple immune-driven dermatological diseases, exemplifying rapid bench-to-bedside translation. In this Therapeutics paper, we summarise the currently available data concerning the successes and safety of an array of JAK inhibitors and hypothesise on how these fields could develop.

Abstract
The Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are malignancies of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) arising as a consequence of clonal proliferation driven by somatically acquired driver mutations in discrete genes (JAK2, CALR, MPL). In recent years, along with the advances in molecular characterization, the role of immune dysregulation has been achieving increasing relevance in the pathogenesis and evolution of MPNs. In particular, a growing number of studies have shown that MPNs are often associated with detrimental cytokine milieu, expansion of the monocyte/macrophage compartment and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, as well as altered functions of T cells, dendritic cells and NK cells. Moreover, akin to solid tumors and other hematological malignancies, MPNs are able to evade T cell immune surveillance by engaging the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, whose pharmacological blockade with checkpoint inhibitors can successfully restore effective antitumor responses. A further interesting cue is provided by the recent discovery of the high immunogenic potential of JAK2V617F and CALR exon 9 mutations, that could be harnessed as intriguing targets for innovative adoptive immunotherapies. This review focuses on the recent insights in the immunological dysfunctions contributing to the pathogenesis of MPNs and outlines the potential impact of related immunotherapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are unique hematopoietic stem cell disorders sharing mutations that constitutively activate the signal-transduction pathways involved in haematopoiesis. They are characterized by stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation. The key MPNs comprise chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). CML is defined by the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome and BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. Despite effective cytoreductive agents and targeted therapy, complete CML/MPN stem cell eradication is rarely achieved. In this review article, we discuss the novel agents and combination therapy that can potentially abnormal hematopoietic stem cells in CML and MPNs and the CML/MPN stem cell-sustaining bone marrow microenvironment.

Abstract
The bone marrow niche is a complex and dynamic structure composed of a multitude of cell types which functionally create an interactive network facilitating hematopoietic stem cell development and maintenance. Its specific role in the pathogenesis, response to therapy, and transformation of myeloproliferative neoplasms has only recently been explored. Niche functionality is likely affected not only by the genomic background of the myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated mutated hematopoietic stem cells, but also by disease-associated 'chronic inflammation', and subsequent adaptive and innate immune responses. 'Cross-talk' between mutated hematopoietic stem cells and multiple niche components may contribute to propagating disease progression and mediating drug resistance. In this timely article, we will review current knowledge surrounding the deregulated bone marrow niche in myeloproliferative neoplasms and suggest how this may be targeted, either directly or indirectly, potentially influencing therapeutic choices both now and in the future.

Abstract
The common 'Philadelphia chromosome'-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) comprise essential thrombocythaemia, polycythaemia vera and myelofibrosis. These are clinically diverse disorders and present many challenges during their course, ranging from the management of very indolent, chronic-phase disease through to very aggressive stages frequently associated with poor quality of life, heavy symptom burdens and potentially life expectancies of <18 months. Their management also requires expertise in thrombosis and haemostasis in addition to marrow failure, debilitating symptom control and balancing the 'pros and cons' of intensive therapy such as allogeneic stem cell transplant versus novel and established therapies. In the past 15 years this field has seen rapid advances following an understanding of the pivotal importance of constitutive Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signalling, the interplay of the wider genomic landscape and the development of updated diagnostic criteria, prognostic scores and targeted therapies. In this article, we review the successes and failures of novel agents and approaches to MPN management.
