While CD20-targeted immunotherapies offer clinical benefit, their efficacy in BCP-ALL is limited by low and heterogeneous CD20 expression on leukemic cells. The authors show that overexpression of wild-type IKZF1, a tumor suppressor frequently mutated in high-risk BCP-ALL, upregulates CD20 and promotes leukemic B-cell maturation. Using bioinformatic tools, the team identified mTORC1 inhibitors as compounds mimicking […]
