Predictors of Response to Imatinib Therapy and Long-Term Outcomes in Paediatric and Adolescent Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is an infrequent myeloproliferative neoplasm in the paediatric population as compared to adults. Despite vast progress in understanding the disease biology and therapy of CML‐chronic phase (CML CP), the applicability of risk scoring systems in practice and prognostic factors in children remain grey ...

Protein kinase Cδ and c-Abl kinase are required for transforming growth factor β induction of endothelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The origin of the mesenchymal cells responsible for the intimal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been fully identified. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether subendothelial mesenchymal cells may emerge through ...

A dual origin for Bcr-Abl gene translocation/fusion as dynamics of synergism of the hematopoietic stem cell and hemangioblast in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Contextual BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase over-activity determines in formulated fashion the emergence of proliferation and anti-apoptosis that arise largely as derived phenomena of otherwise homeostatic mechanisms of the c-ABL gene within hematopoietic ...

Differential effects of selective inhibitors targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Purpose: Aberrant PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling has been linked to oncogenesis and therapy resistance in various malignancies including leukemias. In Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive leukemias, activation of PI3K by dysregulated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase ...
