Abstract
Summary: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is treatable with inhibitors of mutant IDH and also responds well to combination therapies including venetoclax, but most patients with IDH-mutant AML either never achieve complete remission or relapse because mutant hematopoietic stem cells persist despite treatment. An interesting new study in Blood Cancer Discovery characterizes a specific vulnerability in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system in preleukemic hematopoietic stem cells from patients with IDH1 mutations that is not present in those with IDH2 mutations; will this susceptibility prove amenable to therapy? See related article by Landberg et al., p. 114 (10).
期刊介绍:
The journal Blood Cancer Discovery publishes high-quality Research Articles and Briefs that focus on major advances in basic, translational, and clinical research of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and associated diseases. The topics covered include molecular and cellular features of pathogenesis, therapy response and relapse, transcriptional circuits, stem cells, differentiation, microenvironment, metabolism, immunity, mutagenesis, and clonal evolution. These subjects are investigated in both animal disease models and high-dimensional clinical data landscapes.
The journal also welcomes submissions on new pharmacological, biological, and living cell therapies, as well as new diagnostic tools. They are interested in prognostic, diagnostic, and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and computational and machine learning approaches to personalized medicine. The scope of submissions ranges from preclinical proof of concept to clinical trials and real-world evidence.
Blood Cancer Discovery serves as a forum for diverse ideas that shape future research directions in hematooncology. In addition to Research Articles and Briefs, the journal also publishes Reviews, Perspectives, and Commentaries on topics of broad interest in the field.
