Leukemia

Current treatment protocols in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are associated with high remission rates and long life expectancy, enhancing the importance of quality of life and prevention of treatment-related complications...

The clinical implications of cohesin gene complex mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are not well characterized. In the present study, a cohort of 152 de novo unselected adult AML patients underwent conventional and...

B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-LL) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell neoplasm derived from B-cell progenitors, which mainly occurs in children and adolescents and is one of the main causes of death from malignant tumors in this...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative hematopoietic cancer, is caused by a genetic translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. This translocation produces a small Philadelphia chromosome, which contains the...

IKZF1 is a relevant gene associated with the pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and the rs4132601 (T>G) and rs11978267 (A>G) polymorphisms have been associated with the development of this disease in several...

BAALC is identified as a leukemia-associated gene and is highly expressed in CD34 positive hematopoietic stem cells. High BAALC expression is associated with poor prognosis in several types of acute myeloid leukemia. We explored...

R-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2HG), a metabolite produced by mutant isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs), was recently reported to exhibit anti-tumor activity. However, its effect on cancer metabolism remains largely elusive. Here we show...

GenomePaint (https://genomepaint.stjude.cloud/) is an interactive visualization platform for whole-genome, whole-exome, transcriptome, and epigenomic data of tumor samples. Its design captures the inter-relatedness between DNA...

The retinoblastoma tumour suppressor protein (RB) plays an important role in biological processes such as cell cycle control, DNA damage repair, epigenetic regulation, and genome stability. The canonical model of RB regulation...

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Tracking the dissemination of VRE strains is crucial to understand the dynamics of emergence and spread of VRE in...

Several studies have demonstrated impaired immune cell functions in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients, contributing to tumor evasion and disease progression. However, in CLL-like monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL)...
