Lynda Carter Instagram – Scientists from City of Hope and TGen (@tgenresearch) may have uncovered a possible explanation why a certain type of leukemia sometimes takes a more aggressive turn. This discovery was recently featured in Nature Communications. The research was funded by the Robert & Lynda Carter Altman Family Foundation in honor of Lynda Carter Altman’s (@reallyndacarter) late husband, Robert, who developed myelofibrosis that eventually transformed into secondary acute myeloid leukemia. “This time last year, I predicted that I’d be able to come to the public in Fall 2023 with findings that would fundamentally change the way we view acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and could lead to saving lives,” said Carter Altman. “I am thrilled that I was able to keep this promise, and that the Robert & Lynda Carter Altman Family Foundation Research Fund enabled the brilliant scientists at TGen and City of Hope to make key discoveries about what makes leukemia more aggressive. It is a bittersweet moment for me and my family to know that the path this research is on could have helped my beloved husband Robert, but there is no better tribute to his memory than the opportunity to save the lives of others.” Visit the link in our bio to learn more.
