- * Recent studies have identified other mutations, like those in PIK3CA, which may also drive LCH independently from MAPK signaling, although their effects were not fully understood until now.
- * New research using a mouse model shows that PIK3CA mutations can contribute to LCH, and a patient's LCH with this mutation successfully responded to a targeted treatment (alpelisib), highlighting the potential for personalized therapies in treating histiocytic neoplasms.
