Abstract

In this issue, we have stunning contributions from each of this year's International Society for Experimental Hematology (ISEH) award winners: Nancy Speck, the 2018 Don Metcalf awardee; Atsushi Iwama, the 2018 McCulloch and Till awardee; and Keisuke Ito, recipient of the New Investigator Presentation Award. All three made exciting presentations at the 47th Annual Scientific Meeting held August 23–26 in Los Angeles this year and all three agreed to extend their talks as peer-reviewed submissions to Experimental Hematology. For those of you who were unable to hear these awardees speak, reading about their work will be a real treat. For those of you who were there, the publications that follow in this issue will be a welcome reminder and useful resource going forward. We hope that the success of these contributions will help to establish this activity as a new tradition for the ISEH and the broader community that Experimental Hematology also serves. I am also delighted to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have contributed through submissions, citations, reviews, article management, and support throughout 2018. The timely and conscientious efforts of many have certainly helped us to grow in all of these dimensions while at the same time maintaining a very high standard of what we publish and a very rapid turnaround in the review and decision process. Next year, we are very excited about a planned special issue in March entitled “Pluripotent Stem Cells: New Insights for Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis,” with more special issues in hot areas in subsequent years. We also plan to continue publishing topical reviews and perspectives at the beginning of forthcoming issues on a monthly basis in 2019 and welcome ideas for these as well as for regular manuscripts. However, we will no longer be publishing letters to keep our journal focused on new science suitable for either a brief report or a longer article. With your continuing assistance, we anticipate another year of growth and success in 2019. Best wishes,
