Lipid Mediators and Human Leukemic Blasts
Some of the most potent inflammatory mediators share a lipid origin. They regulate a wide spectrum of cellular processes including cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, the precise roles and ways (if any) in which these compounds impact the growth and apoptosis of leukemic blasts remain incompletely resolved. In spite of this, significant advances have been recently made. Here we briefly review the current knowledge about the production of lipid mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, platelet-activating factor) by leukemic blasts, the enzymatic activities (phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases) involved in their productions and their effects (through specific membrane bound receptors) on the growth, and apoptosis of leukemic blasts
Genes encoding multiple forms of phospholipase A(2) are expressed in immature forms of human leukemic blasts.

Characterisation of Genome-Wide PLZF/RARA Target Genes
The PLZF/RARA fusion protein generated by the t(11;17)(q23;q21) translocation in acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) is believed to act as an oncogenic transcriptional regulator recruiting epigenetic factors to genes important for its transforming potential. However, molecular mechanisms associated with PLZF/RARA-dependent leukaemogenesis still remain unclear

Editorial: Mouse Models of B Cell Malignancies
© 2021 Perez-Chacon, Vincent-Fabert and Zapata.B cell malignancies represent a vast group of different entities arising from the multiple differentiation stages of B cells. In humans, there is a large variety of B cell malignancies, most of which have counterparts in mice. Prognosis and treatment for these malignancies would be largely dependent on their type, stage and grade.GP-C and JMZ were supported by a grant from the Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (PID2019-110405RB-I00/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033).
