Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are reporting the most comprehensive study to date describing the variations in drug response across different genetic subtypes…
Researchers discover a new class of drugs that provide leukemia patients with a safer, more targeted form of therapy. Chemotherapy isn’t fun. It’s no secret…
A mechanism is discovered that explains how cancer cells transform into normal, harmless ones. A recent study explains how changing the chemical modifications, or so-called epigenetics,…
Scientists found they could optimize drug concentrations to simultaneously target two molecular signaling pathways responsible for cancer growth by using the lymphatic system as a…
New research changes a natural substance such that it may be used as a potential treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. Natural substances often have therapeutic…
Everybody possesses a tiny number of unusual thymocyte cells, and in some cases, these cells develop into leukemia. Researchers have discovered that T-cell acute lymphoblastic…
New study highlights potential of mitochondria-targeted chemotherapies. Scientists have discovered promising new drugs that work in concert with other drugs to deliver a deadly one-two…
By identifying changes in blood cell production, a blood test could predict the risk of developing leukemia in the elderly population years in advance, according…
Scientists propose a strategy for early intervention to enhance treatment outcomes. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) are currently used as a first-line treatment for individuals with myelodysplastic…
Groundbreaking New Research Upends Understanding of How Blood Is Formed ‘Barcoding’ studies discovered two independent sources for blood cells in mice. If confirmed in humans,…
Research into a type of blood cancer called juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia suggests anti-inflammatory treatment as a possible new therapy for the disease Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia…
Sandwiching wiggly proteins between two other layers allows scientists to get the most detailed images yet of a protein that’s key to the spread of…
A molecular building block of many animal proteins, the amino acid valine, plays a key role in cancerous growth seen in T cell acute lymphoblastic…
An international team have mapped how the HTLV-1 virus causes a rare leukemia in some people, providing clues on how to stop it from happening….
A compound in avocados may ultimately offer a route to better leukemia treatment, says a new University of Guelph study. The compound targets an enzyme…
Bone marrow failure due to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a significant factor behind the disease’s high rate of morbidity and mortality. Previous studies in…
Scientists may be on the road to solving the mystery of a group of mostly incurable blood diseases called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which cause people…
In a new study, researchers identified the agents that could be responsible for many leukemias without TET2 mutation. This finding could help doctors develop a…
