T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) begins in the bone marrow and can spread to other organs. It is a subset of the most common form of cancer in children and tends to affect younger adults. The Chemotherapy+ Foundation is supporting a study to understand both pediatric and adult T-ALL. It builds upon Dr. Aifantis’ previous work on the importance of molecular pathways that act at the post-translational level to support cell homeostasis.
