An international team led by the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) in Barcelona, the Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENyO) and the University of Granada (UGR) has identified a new biological vulnerability in one of the most aggressive forms of childhood leukemia. The findings could pave the way for new therapeutic strategies for patients who currently have very limited treatment options.
