New Binding Sites for JAK2 Inhibition in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Structural Insights, Therapeutic Potential, and Future Directions.

New molecular targets on a key cancer protein could enable development of next-generation drugs to overcome resistance in myeloproliferative blood cancers.

This review identifies new druggable binding sites on JAK2 beyond the standard ATP-binding pocket in myeloproliferative neoplasms. These structural insights could enable development of next-generation inhibitors that overcome resistance to current therapies like ruxolitinib.
