Identification of a novel chalcone derivative that inhibits Notch signaling in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Abstract Notch signaling is considered a rational target in the therapy of several cancers, particularly those harbouring Notch gain of function mutations, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Although currently available Notch-blocking agents are showing anti-tumor activity in pre...
