Hypomethylating agents, such as 5-Azacytidine (5-AZA), are standard of care for patients with myelodysplastic and myeloid malignancies, however response rates are limited and risk of relapses high. Here the authors show that inhibition of lysyl oxidases synergizes with 5-AZA to improve erythropoiesis and reduce disease burden in myelodysplastic neoplasms models.
