Fedratinib is like a traffic cop for your bone marrow. In myelofibrosis, the bone marrow gets confused and starts making too many abnormal blood cells, causing problems like fatigue and an enlarged spleen. Fedratinib steps in and tells the bone marrow to calm down by blocking a protein called JAK2, which is responsible for the confusion. By doing this, Fedratinib helps the bone marrow produce a healthier balance of blood cells, easing symptoms and slowing down the progression of the disease. It's not a cure, but it can make a big difference for people with myelofibrosis.
