- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a serious blood cancer with few treatment options and a high chance of coming back after chemotherapy.
- Researchers studied N-myristoylation, a protein modification linked to cancer cell survival, and found that the level of N-myristoyltransferase 2 (NMT2) can indicate patient outcomes.
- They tested a drug called zelenirstat, which inhibits myristoylation, and found it caused cancer cell death and reduced leukemia in models, suggesting it could be an effective new treatment for AML patients with poor prognoses.
