A Bold Step in the Fight Against Acute Myeloid Leukemia – IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center

IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Denggang Fu et al, published in Nature Communications:

“The cancer center’s Reuben Kapur, PhD, and Santhosh Kumar Pasupuleti, PhD, are taking a bold step in the fight against acute myeloid leukemia—by targeting both the cancer cells and the environment that protects them.

In a new study published in Nature Communications, the team identifies a loop involving IL-33 and IL1RL1 that helps leukemia stem cells survive and evade the immune system. This insight opens the door for a potential new treatment strategy aimed at stopping relapse and strengthening immune response.

Explore how this research could change the way we approach aggressive blood cancers.”
