RUNX1 aberrations in blast-phase CML induce the RBP SPATS2L which promotes growth, survival and stress granule assembly

David A. Palmer, Amy Lianne Muir, R Craig…·Rhys G Morgan

This study identifies SPATS2L as a mediator of growth and survival in RUNX1-mutant blast-phase CML through stress granule formation, suggesting it as a therapeutic target.

Impaired DNA damage response and inflammatory signalling underpins hematopoietic stem cell defects in Gata2 haploinsufficiency

Ali Abdelfattah, Ahmad Habib, Leigh-anne Thomas…·Neil P. Rodrigues

This study identifies how Gata2 haploinsufficiency disrupts HSC function and drives pre-leukemic changes through DNA damage and inflammatory signaling, with ASXL1 mutations exacerbating these defects.
