Our researchers along with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - ALSAC and the Children's Oncology Group announced new research today that underscores a significant paradigm shift in the understanding of T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), an aggressive and high-risk form of cancer. For the first time, they now understand the disease as one driven by genetic changes in non-coding portions of our DNA. “These findings offer a strong a roadmap for improving patient outcomes and curing more children and adults with T-ALL,” said David Teachey, MD, an attending physician and researcher at CHOP and the study's co-author. The collaborative research, supported by the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center and National Institutes of Health Common Fund, was published today in the journal Nature.

Did you know August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month? This is an initiative of the National (Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation) Multicultural Awareness Group to help save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ and tissue donation. Meet our patient Jayden, who received a lifesaving kidney transplant. His mom, Tiffany, was his living donor. Tiffany says when she found out she was a match for her son, there was no hesitation to donate in order to give him a 2nd chance at life. Jayden and his mom are both recovering well, and Jayden looks forward to going to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and starting fifth grade in the fall. Way to go Jayden! 💙 💚
