The development of resistance and relapse during the blast phase of chronic myeloid leukemia poses a challenge in the management of this pathology, with half of the cases accounting for FLT3 pathway activation that, in turn, contributes to tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance.
B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is up-regulated in several B-cell malignancies where it acts as a transcription factor activity mediator to induce and maintain lymphomagenesis.
KYV-201 is an investigational allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy candidate being developed by Kyverna Therapeutics Inc. for the treatment of B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases.
The overexpression of choline-kinase alpha (CKα) promotes aberrant choline metabolism in epithelial ovarian cancer, thus increasing phosphocholine- and total choline-containing compounds. Previous findings had shown that silencing CKα impacted cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and CKα was hypothesized to be a potential new therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.
The immune cell restricted guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) and scaffolding protein VAV1 plays a key role in mediating T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) activity and signaling.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is sometimes associated with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and it highly impacts patients’ quality of life. It is crucial to understand the pro-inflammatory processes that take place during the pathogenesis of IBD-associated SpA.
Researchers from Lund University presented data from a study that aimed to identify novel targets for immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To identify differentially expressed cell surface proteins in the primitive CD34+CD38- cell populations, an arrayed antibody screen was performed on primary bone marrow samples from patients with AML as well as healthy donors.
The first oral session in the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) translational research track of June 15, was given by Eliza Yankova, from the University of Cambridge, who presented collaborative studies done together with Storm Therapeutics Ltd. outlining pharmacological inhibition of METTL1 as a therapeutic strategy in AML treatment.
Rgenta Therapeutics Inc. has presented their work on the discovery and development of RGT-61159, a potential first-in-class oral inhibitor of the oncogenic transcription factor c-MYB.
Investigators from CMR Curediab Metabolic Research GmbH recently disclosed preclinical data for a novel hepatoprotective thioacrylamide compound, HK-3, being developed for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
