Venetoclax in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Molecular Basis, Evidences for Preclinical and Clinical Efficacy and Strategies to Target Resistance
Venetoclax is a BH3-mimetics agent specifically interacting with the antiapoptotic protein BCL-2, facilitating cytochrome c release from mitochondria, subsequent caspases activation, and cell death. Utilization of venetoclax has profoundly changed the landscape of treatment for the poor-prognosis ca...
