From Leukemia Cell to Normal Cell

Caption

Acute myeloid leukemia cells require the Myc oncogene to grow, shown in the panel on the left. On the right, SWI/SNF has been removed from the cells. The enhancer element no longer activates Myc and the leukemia cells change into more normal cells in shape and function.
