    Abstract: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) encompasses a diverse group of closely related clonal hematopoietic disorders. Several genes are often mutated in MDS, of which only five (DNMT3A, SF3B1, ASXL1, TET2 and SRSF2) are known to be mutated in >10% of cases. In this perspective, we studied the frequency of somatic mutations in DNMT3A, SF3B1, ASXL1 and TET2 ... Show More

    Abstract: Many amino acid transporters are solvent carrier proteins, which are membrane transport proteins. In order for cells of all kinds to thrive, including cancerous ones, they need a constant supply of amino acids, which are important for growth and development. Tumor cells exhibit considerable metabolic reprogramming as one of their distinguishing cha... Show More
