    The transformation state of acute leukemia requires certain gene regulation procedures, and these procedures mainly involve transcription factors and chromatin regulators


    Researcher Junwei Shi said that now we have found that cancer cells in AML patients are heavily dependent on ZMYND8, and thanks to this complex CRISPR-based screening method, we can determine specific targets that can be used as medicines


    AML affects the health of more than 20,000 patients each year, including children and adults, and the 5-year survival rate for patients over 20 years old is only 27%.
