How modifications to RNA molecules and the proteins they interact with on the cell surface contribute to cancer is largely unknown. Preclinical evidence indicates that cell surface nucleophosmin (NPM1, an RNA-binding protein) is a novel druggable biomarker in acute myeloid leukemia, with potential implications for improving detection and immunotherapy strategies for several cancer types.
