Break Through Cancer funds AML research at MD AndersonThe University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was awarded more than $5.7 million in grants from Break Through Cancer to support collaborative research teams working to discover novel molecular targets to eradicate minimal residual disease in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and to treat clonal hematopoiesis, a precursor to AML.
 
 
 How the gut microbiome supports iron uptake by intestinal regulatory T-cells
 
How the gut microbiome supports iron uptake by intestinal regulatory T-cellsResearch paper discusses the relationship between iron deficiencies and immune tolerance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study shows that high cellular iron levels fostered by pentanoate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal microbiota, are necessary for the homeostasis of regulatory T cells in the intestine, and iron deficiencies in Treg can result in lethal autoimmune disease.
