Abstract excerpt
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a progressive malignancy with poor prognosis, commonly treated by the use of the glucocorticoid Dexamethasone. Myeloma cells resist Dexamethasone induced apoptosis when exposed to IL-6 or IGF-1, both of which are known to activate several signaling cascades. For the first time, we show the actual contribution of downstream mediators, i.e., activated STAT factors, independent of the...
