It is now known that the HOX11 gene is permanently activated in the leukaemia cells and it drives the disease.
A cutting edge cancer imaging facility will help specialist children's cancer researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.
Avantogen Limited (ACU:ASX) today announced that cancer researchers at Perth's The Kids for Child Health Research (TICHR) and Avantogen Limited
A national study is investigating diet, chemical exposure and genetic factors in a new bid to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.
West Australian families are being asked to play a vital role in a major new national study to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a common and important complication in children with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We describe the epidemiology of IFD in a large multicentre cohort of children with AML.
Leukaemia, also spelled leukemia, is a cancer that develops in the bone marrow and results in abnormal white blood cells. It is the most common cancer in children, accounting for almost a third of all childhood & teen cancers.
DNA methylation-based classification is now central to contemporary neuro-oncology, as highlighted by the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors. This expansion is a result of newly identified tumor types discovered through our large online repository and global collaborations, underscoring CNS tumor heterogeneity.
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) evokes antitumor immunity through the reinvigoration of T cell responses. T cell differentiation status controls response, with less differentiated cells having an enhanced capacity to proliferate after ICB. Given that conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) maintain precursor exhausted T cells (TPEX), we hypothesized that expansion of cDC1s with Flt3L could enhance responses to ICB.
CD8+ T cells are an important weapon in the therapeutic armamentarium against cancer. While CD8+CD103+ T cells with a tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell phenotype are associated with favorable prognoses, the tumor microenvironment also contains dysfunctional exhausted T (TEX) cells that exhibit a variety of TRM-like features.
