Annotating the relationships
23
This molecule inhibits the growth of a broad
panel of cancer cell lines, and is particularly
efficacious in leukemia cells, including
orthotopic leukemia preclinical models as
well as in ex vivo acute myeloid leukemia
(AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(CLL) patient tumor samples. Thus, inhibition
of CDK9 may represent an interesting
approach as a cancer therapeutic target
especially in hematologic malignancies.

Why do I Mark2Cure?
26
I am retired, have a doctorate in
medical humanities, and have two
children with Gaucher disease. I am
just looking for some way to put my
education to use.
My 4 year old daughter Phoebe is
living with and battling rare
disease.
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I hope to help people
learn about this painful and debilitating disorder, so that
others like me can receive more effective medical care.
Take part in
something that
helps humanity.
I Mark2Cure in memory of
my son Mike who had type 1
diabetes.
Studied biology in
college and I really
miss it!
In memory of my daughter
who had Cystic Fibrosis
To give back

  • 23. Annotating the relationships 23 This molecule inhibits the growth of a broad panel of cancer cell lines, and is particularly efficacious in leukemia cells, including orthotopic leukemia preclinical models as well as in ex vivo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patient tumor samples. Thus, inhibition of CDK9 may represent an interesting approach as a cancer therapeutic target especially in hematologic malignancies. therapeutic target subject predicate object GENE DISEASE

  • 26. Why do I Mark2Cure? 26 I am retired, have a doctorate in medical humanities, and have two children with Gaucher disease. I am just looking for some way to put my education to use. My 4 year old daughter Phoebe is living with and battling rare disease. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I hope to help people learn about this painful and debilitating disorder, so that others like me can receive more effective medical care. Take part in something that helps humanity. I Mark2Cure in memory of my son Mike who had type 1 diabetes. Studied biology in college and I really miss it! In memory of my daughter who had Cystic Fibrosis To give back
