Mixed lineage leukemia caused by MLL fusion proteins is still a mostly incurable disease. Research on novel treatment strategies has gained momentum in the last years with the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the transforming potential of these powerful oncoproteins. This review summarizes the recent developments in this area including new attempts to treat MLL in a rational way by exploiting the biochemical vulnerabilities of the leukemogenic process.

Background: TGF-β1 is the most abundant cytokine in bone, in which it serves as a vital factor to interdict adipogenesis and osteogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). However, how TGF-β1 concurrently manipulates differentiation into these two distinct lineages remains elusive.
Methods: Treatments with ligands or inhibitors followed by biochemical characterization, reporter assay, quantitative PCR and induced differentiation were applied to MSC line or primary BM-MSCs for signaling dissection.

The prognosis for mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL), particularly in young children, remains a significant health concern due to the limited therapeutic options available. MLL refers to KMT2A chromosomal translocations that produce MLL fusion proteins. The protein menin, which is essential for the malignant potential of these MLL fusion proteins, offers novel targets for acute leukemia treatment.

Reproductive senescence is common across taxa and females often show a predictable decline in fecundity after maturity. Attending to these age-dependent cues could help males make optimal mate choice decisions. Here, we examined reproductive senescence and male mate choice in the androdioecious mangrove rivulus (), where self-fertilizing hermaphrodites exist with rare males.

Background: Necroptosis is a form of programmed cell death resulting in tissue inflammation due to the release of intracellular contents. Its role and regulatory mechanism in the context of acute lung injury (ALI) are unclear. Parkin (Prkn), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, has recently been implicated in the regulation of necroptosis.
