Blood Science Update | TREML2 Enhances Sensitivity of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells to Cytarabine via Suppression of the ERK Signaling Pathway
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid precursor cells. Cytarabine (Ara-C) remains a cornerstone of induction chemotherapy; however, primary and acquired resistance to Ara-C significantly limits its therapeutic efficacy. Emerging studies have suggested that immune checkpoint and receptor molecules may influence tumor chemosensitivity, yet the role of…

Blood Science Update | Long-Term Outcomes of Cytarabine Use in Pediatric APL: 12-Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is among the most curable forms of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia, primarily due to the success of ATRA and arsenic trioxide (ATO)-based therapies. However, the contribution of cytarabine (Ara-C) to long-term outcomes remains debated. In this newly published study in Blood Science, researchers present the results of a prospective, randomized trial…

Blood Science Update | Unexpected Poor Prognosis in ZNF618::NUTM1-Positive B-ALL: A Rare Case Defies Clinical Assumptions
ZNF618::NUTM1-rearranged B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is recognized as a rare but favorable subtype of pediatric leukemia. However, this new case report published in Blood Science challenges that prognostic certainty, documenting a 3-year-old patient whose disease proved resistant to conventional chemotherapy, multiple CAR-T therapies, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The findings underscore the need to reassess…
