Vox Sanguinis reports on all issues related to transfusion medicine, ‘vein to vein’ from donor to recipient, and including cellular therapies. Comments, reviews, original articles, short reports and international fora are published, grouped into eight main sections:


1) Donors and Donations

Donor recruitment and retention
Donor selection
Donor health (vigilance, side effects of donation)
Big data analysis and blood donation
2) Blood Component Collection and Production

Blood collection methods and devices (including apheresis)
Blood component preparation and storage
Inventory management
Collection and storage of cells for cell therapies
Quality management and good manufacturing practice
Automation and information technology
Plasma fractionation techniques and plasma derivatives
3) Transfusion-transmitted Disease and its Prevention

Identification and epidemiology of infectious pathogens transmissible by blood
Donor testing for transfusion-transmissible infectious pathogens
Bacterial contamination of blood components
Pathogen inactivation
4) Transfusion Medicine and New Therapies

Transfusion practice, thresholds and audits
Transfusion efficacy assessment, clinical trials
Non-infectious transfusion adverse events
Therapeutic apheresis
5) Haemovigilance

Near misses, adverse events and side effects throughout the transfusion chain 
Monitoring, reporting and analysis of those adverse events and side effects
Activities aiming at increasing the safety of the whole transfusion chain
Standardization of the definition of adverse events and side effects
6) Patient Blood Management

Caring for patients who might need a transfusion
Transfusion indication decision-making process 
Search for the optimal patient outcomes
Study of transfusion alternatives
Autologous blood transfusion
7) Immunohaematology

Red cell, platelet and granulocyte immunohaematology
Blood phenotyping and genotyping
Molecular genetics of blood groups
Alloimmunity of blood
Pre-transfusion testing
Autoimmunity in transfusion medicine
Blood typing reagents and technology
Immunogenetics of blood cells and serum proteins: polymorphisms and function
Complement in immunohaematology
Parentage testing and forensic immunohaematology
8) Cellular Therapies

Cellular therapy (sources; products; processing and storage; donors)
Cell-based therapies
Genetically modified cell therapies
Stem cells (sources, collection, processing, storage, infusion)
Cellular immunotherapy (e.g., CAR-T cells, NK cells, MSC)
Cell-based regenerative medicine
Molecular therapy
In vitro manufacturing of blood components
Vox Sanguinis also publishes the abstracts associated with international and regional congresses of the ISBT. (Abstracts from meetings other than those held by the ISBT are not accepted.)
