    Inhibition of Mitochondrial Complex I Reverses NOTCH1-Driven Metabolic Reprogramming in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Researchers identified oxidative phosphorylation as a critical pathway for leukemia cell survival and demonstrate a direct relationship between NOTCH1, elevated OxPhos gene expression, and acquired chemoresistance in pre-leukemic and leukemic models.

    Inability to Phosphorylate Y88 of p27Kip1 Enforces Reduced p27 Protein Levels and Accelerates Leukemia Progression

    To investigate the physiological significance of p27 tyrosine phosphorylation, scientists generated a knock-in mouse model where Y88 was replaced by phenylalanine.

    Developmental Cues License Megakaryocyte Priming in Murine Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    The authors identified LIN28B known for its role in promoting fetal-like self-renewal, as an insulator against the establishment of a megakaryocyte-biased hematopoietic stem cell pool.

    Abstract

    Role of CDH23 as a Prognostic Biomarker and Its Relationship with Immune Infiltration in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Scientists found that the CDH23 expression was aberrantly upregulated in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and could be used as an independent risk factor of overall survival using Cox multivariate analysis.

    15-PGDH Regulates Hematopoietic and Gastrointestinal Fitness during Aging

    Researchers demonstrated that genetic loss of 15-PGDH (Hpgd) confers a protective effect on the aging of murine hematopoietic and gastrointestinal tissues.

    Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Displays a Distinct Highly Methylated Genome

    Scientists performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing across ALL subtypes, leukemia cell lines and healthy hematopoietic cells, and showed that, unlike most cancers, ALL samples exhibited CpG island hypermethylation but the minimal global loss of methylation.

    Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide Alters Immune Signatures and Leads to Impaired T Cell Reconstitution in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

    Using blood samples from patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under regimens containing post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) versus those who received no PTCy, researchers examined the impact of PTCy on the post-transplant immune response.

    Abstract

    Significance of Alveolar Nitric Oxide Concentration in the Airway of Patients with Organizing Pneumonia after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

    Researchers evaluated whether alveolar nitric oxide concentration levels could reflect the presence of Organizing pneumonia and structural airway changes in patients after allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
