Novel basis for chemoresistance in AML: DNMT3A R882 mutations promote chemoresistance and residual disease through impaired DNA damage sensing
Although most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients initially respond to chemotherapy, the majority subsequently relapses and succumbs to refractory disease. Residual leukemic cells that survived chemotherapy may persist over time and later cause the disease to come back.

Platelets restrict blood loss upon vessel damage by formation of a clot (thrombus). Recently, we reported a family with a bleeding and platelet disorder (BPD), which was caused by a defect in the gene GFI1B1.
Read moreFirst randomized evidence for kinase inhibitor activity in acute myeloid leukemia
Despite the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in some forms of leukemias such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, until now a kinase inhibitor had yet to demonstrate activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The high cost of tyrosine kinase inhibitors developed for chronic myeloid leukemia is a major concern for the health care payers, especially in countries with restricted resources.
Gdf -11 a new target to improve anemia in thalassemia.
β-thalassemias are characterized by ineffective red blood cell (RBC) production, leading to anemia, iron overload, and organ failure. As current treatment options for β-thalassemia are limited, there is a clear unmet need for alternative therapies.
