Study reveals how single protein rewires leukemia cells to fuel their grow
Updated : 8 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre have identified a single protein, IGF2BP3, that links these two processes together in leukaemia cells. The protein alters how cells break down sugar, favouring a fast but inefficient energy pathway, while also modifying RNA t

Research: Extending chemo slashes risk of aggressive childhood leukaemia c
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
After two years of chemotherapy treatment, nine out of ten children are cured. But some children have a more aggressive form of the disease. For example, children with a so-called Ikaros change in the DNA of their leukaemia cells have a greater risk of their disease coming back after treatme
