The protein—implicated in blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma—was decoded in near-atomic detail by UT Southwestern researchers, including Nobel Prize winner Bruce Beutler. In lab models, turning off midnolin wiped out up to 92% of cancer cells—with minimal impact on healthy ones, according to UT Southwestern.

A study co-led by UTSW's Jin Huk Choi, Ph.D., and Nobel Prize winner Bruce Beutler, M.D., found that targeting a gene-produced protein called ZFP574 "reduced the amount of malignant B cells by as much as 92%." Their findings could lead to new treatments for leukemias and lymphomas—and potentially other cancers, too.
