Abstract excerpt
Ezrin (EZR) is an actin-associated protein that is often upregulated in cancers. Here we investigate the role of EZR in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and explore the therapeutic potential of a pharmacological EZR inhibitor, NSC305787. ALL patient cohorts exhibit significantly elevated EZR mRNA levels, indicating its association with the malignant phenotype. Notably, EZR expression does not impact survival...
