The advent of digital technologies has spurred the development of wearable sensing devices marking a significant shift in obtaining real-time physiological information. The principal objective is to transition from blood-centric monitoring to minimally invasive modalities, which will enable movement from specialised settings to more accessible environments such as the practices of general practitioners or even home settings. While subcutaneously implanted continuous monitoring devices have demonstrated this transition, detection of analytes from sample matrices like skin interstitial fluid (ISF), is a frontier that offers attractive minimally invasive routes for detection of biomarkers.

Despite the success of Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), leukemic stem cells (LSCs) persist, contributing to relapse and resistance. CML Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) help in LSC maintenance and protection from TKIs. However, the limited passage and self-differentiation abilities of primary CML MSCs hinder extensive research.

The ligand-activated transcription factors, nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs), remain unexplored in hematological malignancies except for retinoic acid receptor alpha (). Here we profiled the expression of various NHRs and their coregulators in Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines and identified a significant differential expression pattern between inherently imatinib mesylate (IM)-sensitive and resistant cell lines. Retinoid-X-receptor alpha () was downregulated in CML cell lines inherently resistant to IM and in primary CML CD34 cells.

This study aims to evaluate the role of selected polymorphisms in , and genes in addition to in predicting 6-MP intolerance during ALL maintenance therapy.
