Sobre a palestra

"Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and its receptor (IL-7R) are essential for the normal development and homeostasis of lymphoid cells. In addition, IL-7 activates a number of anti-tumoral immune cell-dependent mechanisms. However, IL-7 and IL-7R can also go rogue and become detrimental to the organism by stimulating the proliferation and survival of malignant lymphoid cells and contributing to the development of leukemia. I will talk about some of the mechanisms by which IL-7/IL-7R signaling promotes leukemia growth in vitro and in vivo."
