This study describes the development and molecular characterization of a panel of patient-derived infant leukemia oncogene xenografts and their sensitivity...
Our results suggest that maternal prenatal use of vitamins and folic acid reduces the risk of both ALL and AML
The polygenic nature of childhood ALL predisposition together with the timing of environmental triggers may hold vital clues for disease etiology.
This study suggests that germ-line DICER1 mutations make a clinically significant contribution to PinB, establishing DICER1 as an important susceptibility...
Relapse and acquired drug resistance in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) remains a significant clinical problem.
Germline pathogenic variants in the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway are the molecular cause of RASopathies, a group of clinically overlapping genetic syndromes. RASopathies constitute a wide clinical spectrum characterized by distinct facial features, short stature, predisposition to cancer, and variable anomalies in nearly all the major body systems.
Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) causes durable tumour responses in a subgroup of patients, but it is not well known how T cell receptor beta (TCRβ) repertoire dynamics contribute to the therapeutic response.
A growing body of evidence supports the concept of a systemic response to non-severe thermal trauma. This provokes an immunosuppressed state that predisposes paediatric patients to poor recovery and increased risk of secondary morbidity.
Recent evidence suggests that burn patients are at increased risk of hospital admission for infection, mental health conditions, cardiovascular disease and cancer for many years after discharge for the burn injury itself.
ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 3 (ABCA-3) is a lipid transporter protein highly expressed in type-II alveolar (AT-II) cells. Mutations in ABCA3 can result in severe respiratory disease in infants and children. To study ABCA-3 deficiency in vitro, primary AT-II cells would be the cell culture of choice although sample accessibility is limited. Our aim was to investigate the suitability of primary nasal epithelial cells, as a surrogate culture model for AT-II cells, to study ABCA-3 deficiency.
Children with Down syndrome (constitutive trisomy 21) that develop acute lymphoblastic leukemia (DS-ALL) have a 3-fold increased likelihood of treatment-related mortality coupled with a higher cumulative incidence of relapse, compared with other children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
IL7 and glucocorticoids coordinately drive aberrant activation of PIM1 and suggests that T-ALL and T-LBL patients could benefit from PIM inhibition
Development of standardised guidance by national and regional authorities for reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to children with cancer
Genetic predisposition to proteome instability may be a determinant in the pathogenesis of paediatric brain cancers
Our findings define PTPN2 as a target for bolstering T-cell-mediated anti-tumour immunity and CAR T-cell therapy against solid tumours.
Four The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers are among those who have received funding in the WA State Government's Merit Award Program announced today.
Researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia have discovered a new drug combination that could help improve survival rates for babies with leukaemia.
Congratulations to three The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers, who have been awarded funding from the Raine Medical Research Foundation.
The Drug Discovery Unit has been finding ways for smart drugs to penetrate deep into cells and attacking their disease targets while causing fewer side effects
It is now known that the HOX11 gene is permanently activated in the leukaemia cells and it drives the disease.
A cutting edge cancer imaging facility will help specialist children's cancer researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.

A national study is investigating diet, chemical exposure and genetic factors in a new bid to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.
West Australian families are being asked to play a vital role in a major new national study to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.
