Scientific discovery happens in the lab—but it starts with curiosity and determination. In this episode of Absolute Gene-ius, we welcome Valeria Rangel, a PhD candidate at the University of California Irvine, who shares her research on acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the innovative ways digital PCR is helping uncover genetic patterns linked to cancer in Hispanic populations.Val's work focuses on Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. She explains how her lab uses digital PCR to detect mutations with high precision, identify risk factors in certain populations, and even validate findings using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. Through her research, Val sheds light on the role of SNPs, methylation patterns, and translocations in leukemia progression—demonstrating how digital PCR is transforming the way we approach cancer research.Beyond the science, Val takes us on her personal journey, from struggling to break into research due to financial barriers to finding her passion in oncology. In this episode's Career Corner, she shares valuable advice for aspiring scientists, tips for landing research opportunities, and some of her most hilarious and humbling lab moments (yes, she has broken multiple pipettes).Visit the Absolute Gene-ius pageto learn more about the guests, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.
Send us a textTreating patients with hematologic oncologic diagnoses isn't just about managing fatigue—it's about understanding the complex, ever-changing challenges they face at every stage of treatment. From acute inpatient deficits to long-term survivorship, physical therapists play a critical role in improving outcomes for this population.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shai Sewell, PT, & Scott Capozza, PT, to break down what PTs really need to know about hematologic cancers to start treating these patients. We cover the basics of hematological malignancies, differences in treatment between heme-onc & other tumors, and navigating biggest rehab challenges throughout the transplant process. If you're working with—or want to work with—this complex patient population, this episode is a must-listen!
A new research perspective was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on August 7, 2023, entitled, “CDK9 INHIBITORS: a promising combination partner in the treatment of hematological malignancies.” In their new perspective, researchers Daniel Morillo, Gala Vega and Victor Moreno from Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz discuss Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) in hematological malignancies. CDKs belong to a family of serine/threonine kinases that need to form heterodimeric complexes with cyclins to perform their functions. These kinases are involved in multiple processes within cells, including cell cycle, apoptosis, transcription and differentiation. These kinases are often overexpressed in different malignancies, making them potential targets for new drugs. Most hematological malignancies are characterized by overexpression of certain cancer promoting genes, such as MYC, MCL1 and cyclin D1. Preclinical studies in animal models have shown that CDK9 inhibitors suppress the transcription of these anti-apoptotic and pro-survival proteins, and suggest their potential synergism with other drugs. In its first in-human trial, enitociclib demonstrated clinical activity in a small cohort of patients with high grade B lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, inducing complete responses in 2 of 7 subjects (29%) in monotherapy. “In summary, most hematological malignancies are characterized by overexpression of certain cancer promoting genes, such as MYC and MCL1. CDK9 inhibitors are relatively new drugs that inhibit transcription of these anti-apoptotic and pro-survival proteins.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28473 Correspondence to - Victor Moreno - victor.moreno@startmadrid.com Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28473 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), CDK9, hematological malignancies About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

In the fifth and final episode of the Aging Patient: Dispelling Myths podcast series, host Gareth Tucker and guest experts Prof Raul Cordoba, Dr Ulrich Wedding, and Dr Dominique Bron discuss the ethical issues associated with treating hematological malignancies in older adults. They raise different points regarding treatment decisions made with (and not without) the patient and amongst other parameters, how much of an impact costs have in the choice of treatment. Dr Bron also reminds us of the 4 principles of healthcare (nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice) – and that age is not a criterion in deciding whether a patient should be treated or not. Finally, they address the impact of COVID-19 on the current clinical practice and whether it has exacerbated ethical issues. Host: Gareth Tucker; Guest: Prof Raul Cordoba, Dr Ulrich Wedding, Prof Dominique Bron In the second episode of the Aging Patient: Dispelling Myths podcast series, the importance of medical decision making based on a patient's ‘fitness' rather than their age will be stressed, and the impact of good diet and exercise in maintaining fitness and delaying sarcopenia highlighted.

In the third episode of the Aging Patient: Dispelling Myths podcast series, host Gareth Tucker and experts Prof Antonio Almeida, Prof Valentin Goede, and Dr Annamaria Brioli discuss the treatment of hematological malignancies in older adults, involving polypharmacy in most cases. They describe how patients commonly react to polypharmacy and how challenging it can be to have all the information about a patient's full list of medication, and to keep them compliant. They also address the step of deprescribing, a critical point in the therapy of these patients.

Cancer cells, explains Dorothy Sipkins, MD, PhD, “have this tendency to steal from or copy the way that normal cells respond to their microenvironment.” In this conversation Dr. Sipkins explains how cancer cells profit from the tissue microenvironment. She also describes an important discovery made by her lab, showing how acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells get around the blood-brain barrier to find the microenvironment in the central nervous system where they flourish. Dorothy Sipkins, MD, PhD, is an associate professor at the Duke University Medical Center in the Division of Hematological Malignancies and Cellular Therapy. Dr. Sipkins runs a lab that’s focused on tissue microenvironments, or “niches, that regulate the migration, survival and regeneration of cancerous cells.” 3:42 – Why the tissue microenvironment is so important… 8:02 – …and how different microenvironments are crucial for cancer cells 11:55 –The treatment challenges resulting from the movement of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells into the central nervous system 16:17 – The long, difficult (but absolutely critical) journey her lab took to understanding how ALL gets around the blood-brain barrier to find the tissue microenvironment that allows it to flourish 30:36 – How her lab is trying to find “the best drug, the best tool, the best way to inhibit this process” in patients 31:07 – How ACS helped advance her research 32:52 – A message she’d like to share with survivors and caregivers
