Deskripsi

Interferon alpha (IFNalpha) therapy is showing promising results to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Here, the authors show that IFNalpha response requires ULK1 phosphorylation to induce p38-MAPK signalling but it is counteracted by ROCK1-2 activation suggesting combination therapy of IFNalpha-ROCK1-2 inhibition may improve MPNs treatment.
