... specific functional expression programs correlated with fluctuations in various #Tcell subsets, which may be associated with #AML progression and relapse. Furthermore, our analysis of cellular communication networks led to the identification of #VISTA, #CD244, and #TIM3 as potential #immunotherapeutic targets in pediatric AML."

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the immune microenvironment in pediatric acute leukemia - PubMed

Relapse and treatment resistance pose significant challenges in the management of pediatric B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The efficacy of immunotherapy in leukemia remains limited due to factors such as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME …
