New on Advanced Science: BCR::ABL1 drives malignant transformation of Ph+B-ALL through enhancer reprogramming. Consequently, BCR::ABL1-induced genes are hypersensitive to P300/CBP inhibition. Importantly, enhancer-targeting drugs can improve efficacy of TKIs on Ph+B-ALL cells doi.org/10.1002/advs...

BCR::ABL1‐Induced Enhancer Reprogramming Uncovers Hypersensitivity of Ph+B‐ALL Cells to Enhancer‐Targeting Drugs
Ng et al. show that the BCR::ABL1 kinase that drives the lymphoid leukemia Ph+B-ALL modulates enhancer function by coopting signaling-inducible transcription factors such as MYC, STAT5, and ETV5. BCR...

Vaccines save lives. Leaders must champion them
Attacks on vaccines and the cancellation of research into what causes vaccine hesitancy puts people in harm’s way.
