LILRB3 as a regulator of AML survival

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with limited therapeutic options. A new study identifies leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor 3 (LILRB3) as a marker of monocytic AML, with the ability to modulate NF-κB signaling and to promote survival and immune evasion. Blockade of LILRB3 signaling could provide a novel therapeutic strategy in monocytic AML.
