Brief description Our project will shed light on the development of white blood cells, and what goes wrong when they become cancerous. In particular we have uncovered an unexpected control mechanism of gene expression in these cells. This mechanism governs the specific removal of molecules involved in transmitting information in cells (mRNAs). By extending our research to a cancer of white blood cells called chronic myeloid leukaemia, we hope to provide new insights into its causes and discover targets for innovative drugs.
