Researchers Uncover How MN1 Overexpression Causes AML
Meningioma-1 (MN1) is a protein whose overexpression has been linked to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and brain tumors, and 70% to 80% of AML patients with high overexpression of MN1 die within two years. Yet the mechanism by which MN1 causes these diseases has largely remained a mystery.
“Looking at the sequence, the protein has no obvious structure,” said Kathrin M.

âIt got stolen the same day I was supposed to start fundraising,â Plummer recalled.Â
The incident didnât stop him, however. Â
