Pathogenic variants of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) genes are present in approximately 20% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases, resulting in the oncometabolite R-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2-HG). The accumulation of R-2-HG in leukemic cells and in their niche induces epigenetic modifications, profound rewiring of the cellular metabolism, and microenvironmental remodeling. These changes promote cellular differentiation bias, enhancing the survival and proliferation of leukemic cells, and thus playing a pivotal role in leukemogenesis and resistance to standard AML therapy. This review focuses on the different perspectives offered by studying metabolism and resistance to standard treatments in AML with IDH1 or IDH2 pathogenic variants, for the development of new biomarkers and therapeutic solutions.

Objectives: Acute lung injury (ALI) is an acute respiratory failure syndrome characterized by impaired gas exchange. Due to the lack of effective targeted drugs, it is associated with high mortality and poor prognosis. (TW) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in the treatment of various diseases.

When a new phenomenon is reported, despite many previous reports on larger cohorts of patients, one naturally asks why the finding is novel. Is this a new phenomenon, or merely identified because one is looking carefully for it for the first time? This commentary explores possible reasons for the novel finding of essential thrombocytopenia emerging in a cohort of Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. Commentary on: Bertoli et al.

Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.

Acute leukaemias are the commonest cancers in children and young people (CYP). Off-treatment surveillance is assumed to improve relapse detection, but whether this affects subsequent survival and quality of life is unclear. This systematic review searched 13 databases and two trial registries in December 2022.
