Sperr, Lukas Kenner, Peter Valent, Tero Aittokallio, Marco Herling, Satu Mustjoki, Patrick T. Gunning, Richard Moriggl

“…We found that both AML/NKCL cells hijack STAT3/5 signaling through either upstream activating mutations in kinases, activating mutations in STAT3, mutational loss of negative STAT regulators, or genetic gains in anti‐apoptotic, pro‐proliferative, or epigenetic‐modifying STAT3/5 targets. This emphasizes a vicious cycle for proliferation and survival through STAT3/5. …”
