Designed to Kill: Novel Menin-MLL Inhibitors Target MLL-Rearranged Leukemia: Cancer Cell | Hematology | Scoop.it

The interaction between menin and oncogenic mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) fusion proteins is required for leukemic transformation and may represent a therapeutic opportunity. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Borkin and colleagues describe the development of highly potent small-molecule inhibitors of this interaction that reverse the leukemic phenotype and prolong survival in murine models of MLL-rearranged leukemia.
