A New Paradigm for Pediatric AML: Improving the Pipeline for Treatments Targeting Cytogenetic and Molecular Alterations.

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy, with cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities playing a critical role in determining prognosis and guiding treatment decisions. Despite therapeutic advances, patients with high-risk genetic mutations and translocations continue to experience suboptimal outcomes. As new targeted therapies emerge, the treatment of pediatric AML could undergo a paradigm shift, where "one-size-fits-all" chemotherapy is no longer the only frontline approach. Identifying genetic markers inform risk stratification and have greater impact on s

Molecular Characterization of a First-in-Human Clinical Response to Nimesulide in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy associated with high morbidity and mortality. Here we describe a case of a patient with AML who presented a partial response after utilization of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide. The response was characterized by complete clearance of peripheral blood blasts and an 82% decrease of bone marrow blasts associated with myeloblast differentiation. We have then shown that nimesulide induces in vitro cell death and cell cycle arrest in all AML cell lines (HL-60, THP-1, OCI-AML2, and OCI-AML3). Weighted Correlation Network An

The DNA methylation landscape of multiple myeloma shows extensive inter- and intrapatient heterogeneity that fuels transcriptomic variability.
