Validation of a mouse xenograft model system for gene expression analysis of human acute lymphoblastic leukaemiaPre-clinical models that effectively recapitulate human disease are critical for expanding our knowledge of cancer biology and drug resistance mechanisms.
Research
Hypomethylation of the CTGF gene locus is a common feature of paediatric pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukaemiaWe identified consistent hypomethylation of the CTGF locus in primary pre-B ALL specimens regardless of CTGF expression.

Challenges posed by COVID-19 to children with cancerDevelopment of standardised guidance by national and regional authorities for reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to children with cancer
Research
Immunogenicity and safety of single-dose, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in pediatric and adolescent oncology patientsAll children who are receiving therapy for cancer should receive a single dose of PCV13 as soon as possible after diagnosis, regardless of prior PCV exposure.

Heterogeneity in mechanisms of emergent resistance in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemiaBiological changes associated with T-ALL relapse and resistance are stochastic and highly individual
Research
Therapeutic targeting of the leukaemia microenvironmentIn recent decades, the conduct of uniform prospective clinical trials has led to improved remission rates and survival for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. However, high-risk patients continue to have inferior outcomes, where chemoresistance and relapse are common due to the survival mechanisms utilised by leukaemic cells.

Viridans Group Streptococci in Pediatric Leukemia and Stem Cell Transplant: Review of a Risk-stratified Guideline for Empiric Vancomycin in Febrile NeutropeniaViridans group streptococci (VGS) are an important cause of sepsis in immunosuppressed children. We reviewed the effectiveness of risk-stratified addition of vancomycin to empiric febrile neutropenia therapy among 107 children with leukemia or undergoing an allogeneic transplant.

The Bone Marrow Microenvironment in B-Cell Development and MalignancyB lymphopoiesis is characterized by progressive loss of multipotent potential in hematopoi-etic stem cells, followed by commitment to differentiate into B cells, which mediate the humoral response of the adaptive immune system.

A Novel Missense Mutation Affecting the N-terminal Domain of SAP Protein in X-linked Lymphoproliferative DiseaseWe have revealed a novel SH2D1A gene mutation in a patient with XLP resulting in fulminant refractory EBV-driven HLH, which is a recognized severe complication
