Introduction: Despite remarkable progress in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (pAML) treatments, the relapsed disease remains difficult to treat, making it pertinent to identify novel biomarkers of prognostic/therapeutic significance.

Material And Methods: Bone marrow samples from 21 pAML patients were analyzed using single cell RNA sequencing, functional assays with knockdown and overexpression were performed in leukemia cell lines to evaluate impact on proliferation and migration, and chemotherapy sensitivity. Mitochondrial function was assessed via Seahorse assay, interacting proteins were studied using co-immunoprecipitation.

Article Synopsis
  • TAM-family tyrosine kinases (TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK) are important in cancer research, and blocking MERTK was helpful in fighting a type of leukemia called B-ALL.
  • Research showed that reducing MERTK helped increase special immune cells, which is good for fighting leukemia, especially in young patients.
  • The study suggests that targeting MERTK and TYRO3 could be new ways to treat leukemia by using the body's immune system better.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate whether transdiagnostic treatment as well as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) could improve treatment adherence and alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms plus perceived stress in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.

Background: Research has shown that people with chronic diseases often have negative attitudes toward medications, especially when they also have psychiatric disorders. This, along with the complex dosing requirements and inadequate knowledge about medication adherence among irritable bowel syndrome patients, can affect the treatment efficacy.
