C/EBPĪ² Is a MYB- and p300-Cooperating Pro-leukemogenic Factor and Promising Drug Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Scientists characterized a group of natural sesquiterpene lactones, previously shown to suppress MYB activity, for their potential to decrease AML cell proliferation.

YTHDF2 Is a Potential Target of AML1/ETO-HIF1Ī± Loop-Mediated Cell Proliferation in t(8; 21) AML

Scientists showed that YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2 (YTHDF2) was highly expressed in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and associated with a higher risk of relapse and inferior relapse-free survival. Knockdown of YTHDF2 in leukemia cells caused an impaired cell proliferation rate in vitro and in mice.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Cord Blood versus Mismatched Unrelated Donor with Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Scientists compared the allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) outcomes of cord blood transplantation versus single-allele-mismatched mismatched unrelated donor allo-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide in acute myeloid leukemia.

T-Cell-Based Immunotherapy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Current Concepts and Future Developments

The stellar successes of immunotherapies that harness the power of T cells to treat solid tumors and an improved understanding of the immune systems of patients with hematologic malignancies have led to major efforts to develop immunotherapies for the treatment of patients with AML.

Multi-Site 11-Year Experience of Less-Intensive versus Intensive Therapies in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Recipients of less-intensive therapies were older, had more comorbidities, more adverse cytogenetics, and worse Karnofsky performance status.
