Brief description Leukaemia is the most common cancer in children and the improved cure rates are among the major biomedical advances of the past five decades. However, we still do not fully understand why leukaemia cells have a growth advantage. We identified the growth factor CTGF as being massively activated in leukaemia cells. The project aims to study the role of CTGF in bringing about the disease. Insights gained are expected to lead towards novel treatments for patients with leukaemia.
