Inhibiting protein to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms shows preclinical promise

MedicalXpress | 七月 12, 2026

Inhibiting menin, a protein that supports leukemia growth and is already targeted to treat some forms of leukemia, also holds promise for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms. A new study from scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital showed that inhibiting menin significantly extended survival and reversed multiple disease features in preclinical models. The findings were published today in Cancer Cell.
