DOI: 10.1002/1878-0261.70124

Abstract: Relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease is a major hurdle to long-term survival of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with intensive cytarabine (AraC)-based chemotherapy. R/R AML salvage treatment with venetoclax (VEN) + azacitidine (AZA) results in overall response rates… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics"

DOI: 10.1007/s10989-018-9730-9

Abstract: Virus mutates quickly and develops drug resistance over time if targeted directly. A possible alternative for drug design is to target cellular proteins that the virus needs. To be viable, the drug ought to inhibit… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Cell"

DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.09.051

Abstract: Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) promotes transcriptional elongation through RNAPII pause release. We now report that CDK9 is also essential for maintaining gene silencing at heterochromatic loci. Through a live cell drug screen with genetic confirmation,… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Cell"

DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.04.022

Abstract: Gene expression by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is tightly controlled by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) at discrete checkpoints during the transcription cycle. The pausing checkpoint following transcription initiation is primarily controlled by CDK9. We discovered that… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "European journal of medicinal chemistry"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113244

Abstract: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of Ser/Thr kinases involved in cell cycle and transcriptional regulation. CDK9 regulates transcriptional elongation and this unique property has made it a potential target for several diseases. Due to… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Biochemistry"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biochem.2c00609

Abstract: Undermining transcriptional addiction, the dependence of cancers on selected transcriptional programs, is critically important for addressing cancers with high unmet clinical need. Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) has long been considered an actionable therapeutic target for… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Journal of human genetics"

DOI: 10.1038/s10038-025-01395-1

Abstract: Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) phosphorylates the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) to regulate transcription. Previously, we reported that an 8-year-old boy with the biallelic CDK9 variants p.A288T and p.R303C exhibited a CHARGE-like malformation… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Nature Communications"

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01569-2

Abstract: The glucocorticoid (GC) receptor (GR) suppresses inflammation by activating anti-inflammatory and repressing pro-inflammatory genes. GR-interacting protein-1 (GRIP1) is a GR corepressor in macrophages, however, whether GRIP1 mediates GR-activated transcription, and what dictates its coactivator versus… read more here.
