Myeloid mutations associated with high-risk adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Scientists previously thought mutations in myeloid genes could only cause myeloid cancers such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML)—hence the name given to these genes. However, a recent study ...

The origins of blood: Researchers identify a gene critical to blood production
Blood has long been a symbol of life and health, so it may be surprising that some aspects of blood production (hematopoiesis) remain incompletely understood. One such mystery is the role of a protein called SOX17. Blood ...

How a leukemia hijacks the genes needed by blood stem cells
As a child, Lynn Aureli didn't know that a particular genetic change contributed to her acute myeloid leukemia (AML)—an alteration that eventually would help explain the cancer's lack of response to chemotherapy. Nor was ...
