RUN(X) out of blood: emerging RUNX1 functions beyond hematopoiesis and links to Down syndrome
5 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: RUNX1 is a transcription factor and a master regulator for the specification of the hematopoietic lineage during embryogenesis and postnatal megakaryopoiesis. Mutations and rearrangements on RUNX1 are key drivers of hematological malignancies.
